February Sweeps, Day 21

I've been reading blog posts and listening to YouTube videos about writing, what makes good writing, and what the myths about writing are out there. I spend a lot of my time doing a job that doesn't actually require my full mental energy. I can edit news without concentrating on it fully for most of the time, so I always have something playing in my ears. I've learned a lot of things by way of this over the past years. It's one of the main reason I'm not such a obese fella anymore.

I learned everything I know about the ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, and the carnivore diet from the hundreds of hours of lectures I've listened to that people posted on YouTube. I almost feel like an expert on the subject now. I also spent a great deal of time watching toy collecting videos on YouTube, and even started my own toy collecting channel because of that. I feel like I gained a great deal of knowledge in that area as well. If I was able to do that for those subjects, why couldn't I get a bunch of knowledge about writing the same way? Seems plausible.

When I mentioned what I was doing, Rish was pretty interested. He wanted to talk with me about the things that I learn. He even suggested that maybe we do shows about it, where I present my findings, and then discuss it. We could even make goals to practice what we learned in a story that we write, and then come back with a follow-up show that shares the story, talks about how the practice went, and decides how important the lesson actually turned out to be. I think I'd like that a lot. What about you? Interested in a podcast like that?

As far as actual writing went, I drug my feet again, and didn't finish until 1:30 AM again, but in the end I wrote 1,145 words. Still flawless for the month.

My picometer says:

EDIT:
New progress meter.

24104 / 30000 (80.35%)

Now I'm at 80% of my goal. That's a nice round number. Feels pretty good to make it this far.
