100/100
100 Words for 100 Days
We’re here. IT’S DONE.
I have given myself 100 deadlines, and I met every single one of them, never missing a post and always protecting the time to get this done each week, each day.
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED?
Well, namely, that I love writing and will continue to do this in some variation in the near future. This much is true.
This 100 days project is what I call the $100 version of a $1000 project. I wanted to do a test run and see what it felt like to commit to writing, to inventing ideas and reflections, and putting myself out there through publishing.
The most difficult part of this was not the time, actually. It was the frustration around the quality of work. There are some excellent posts out there. I loved writing about beauty + loneliness, messing around with Matthew McConaughey + Lincoln, or getting personal about depression. I think all of these are valuable, but I found friction in the rate of producing ideas. With posting as the main goal of this project, sometimes quality had to take a backseat. That’s not how I’d want to roll with things moving forward.
This test run was worth that on its own.
For those of you who kept reading through all of this, I appreciate you. I thank you for letting my voice be a part of your day, for your trust, and for your attention through this.
From this point, I’m going to take the rest of the year off to reflect deeper on how I experienced these last 100 days, and as a final bow, I would like to invite your direct feedback.
Please, in this comment section, I invite any thoughts that are with you about this. Were the size of the posts nice? Were the topics interesting? What’s a post that is (still) memorable for you? Are there any topics where you felt I was out of my depth? Was any of this actually funny or intriguing or heartening (or is it just me)?
Everything is helpful, and I would take no offense if you wanted to unsubscribe after this.
Or, if you want to help even further, I would appreciate you telling Medium via the clap button that any post is worth reading. That helps the discoverability of a post.
I invite your words now, and thank you, again.
More soon,
Trevor
