I’ve written one for the first time in months, and all in one sitting–something i haven’t done in over 5 years. It was exhilarating, satisfying and gave me lots of brain endorphins–it also turned out really good!
How did this happen? I signed up on Thursday for a contest which had a deadline of Sunday night, and the penalty for not turning anything in was some severe mocking and embarrassment… so I wrote it that day. Deadlines work!
It felt very good to see my own improvement. The fact that I wrote a story in two hours that was actually not bad, and probably better than a lot of stuff i spent weeks writing years ago… it means I am definitely getting better at this.
I’ll let you know if I win (though in this contest really, the goal is just not to lose) but I feel I already have, because I wrote something!

I am glad you got to write something and it gave you joy and showed improvement. I think it is great if you keep on writing. Practice does make perfect and we all should try to keep up with it.
