My 400 Daily Posts Reflection
06 Dec 2025 #writingWriting 400 daily posts gave me momentum as a writer.
The first 100 posts were training to find ideas. The next 100 proved I wouldn’t run out of ideas. The next 100 tested my discipline, I wrote even when tired. This last 100 gave me trust to keep going.
In the last 3 months, I released a book, Street-Smart Coding and I shared the behind-the-scenes:
- Some hard-earned lessons
- Some truths nobody told me
- my strategy to work with beta readers
- how to finish the next one faster
Promoting my book won me my first hater, a milestone in the writing journey.
But beyond criticism, writing daily gave me something more lasting: “the time capsule” effect.
And after many posts, I can see what I was learning each day years ago. I even started to write some “on this day” posts. Here’s the last one I wrote.
That’s a gift for future generations: reading what grandpa wrote 20 years ago.
