Resting v2, Day 5

“What’s one thing you did today?” I wrote a pro/con list to help me decide which Nintendo Switch to buy. Then I kept writing and… I wrote another 1000 words, but I have no plans of continuing tomorrow because this took wayyy too long xD This is a story of some of my experiences with…

Resting v2, Day 4

“What’s one thing you did today?” Today I thought some thoughts. Then I started thinking. Thinking about writing 1000 words. How does it feel to type all of them? Good? Weird? Tiring?

Spring ’23, Day 43

I keep trying to find ideas. I keep trying to make things. I’m ambitious, and I spend so much energy chasing things I can’t see. The goal was to write something, anything, every day. But I’m not really enjoying the process. Maybe I should change the rules; change the expectation.

Earlier I went on a tirade with ChatGPT which resulted in Qwerty singing silly songs and getting stuck on “oh where” for a few hundred lines, bread in unknown dimensions, skilled pancake stackers, and “Is 7 a flavor of ice cream?” Good times.

I’m in the sun. Birds are singing and ants are scurrying. The sunlight is warm and the breeze is cool. I’m thinking about intrinsic value.
