What goals does writing service or what changes do you anticipate now that you’ve come to the end of this experiment?
And yes, I’ll accept “because I want to” as a perfectly valid answer. Not that anyone should justify anything to me.
I ask because I’ve tried “writing every day” exercises, one that on-and-off lasted something like 150 days. That particular exercise left me feeling very bitter because there wasn’t any purpose to the writing—in fact I was now burdened with all this material[1]. That being said, it wasn’t immediately published publicly like your 3-a-week posts.
Maybe another way of asking my question is: what goals or states of being is a daily writing exercise in service of if you’re not, say, a stand-up comedian, a lecturer, or a writing professional?

Yeah yeah yeah I know “if you enjoy it, isn’t that enough?”. No. It’s not enough. Not in my case.
