canyonwalkerLiveJournal— yes, I still cross-post there, manually— has been sending me little nudges for the past few months encouraging me to write more. For example, I saw one like this today:
Here's the thing, though. My writing streak isn't just 2 days, it's 230 days. I've written here every day since April 3. (April 2 was my last "off" day so far this year.) I track this because of my blogging baseline goal of posting every day. And I count a "day" as 12:00am to 11:59pm in my home timezone. LJ seems either to count all US users as living in US Eastern time zone or, worse yet, counts everything in GMT.
You have been writing for 2 days now. Write a post today (19.11) and extend the uninterrupted series!
