Daily writing fail
What started out as a daily ‘just write anything’ turned into a ‘don’t write anything at all’. What went wrong, honestly, i just didn’t have anything to say, and the thought of just uploading days upon days of one line sentences just to hit the one-post-a-day thing seemed pointless.
Some motivation came from a good friend of mine who asked if it was ok to read my llamaword. I said of course, that’s the point of me uploading my thoughts on to the internets, for people to read what i write, to take a bit of a looksy into the llama mind, and most importantly for me to just get some stuff out of my head and into the void. Much like leaving voice notes to people i don’t often speak to, often rambling on for 10 or 20 minutes, it feels good just getting it out of your head (if you don’t do this already i highly recommend leaving your friends long voice notes, is like therapy, and you’ll also find out quite quickly who your good friends are (because they will always listen and reply)).
Is hard not to mention AI. I don’t want to but i have to, because its constantly on my mind at the moment and i’ve been starting to think that i’d have preferred it if they’d left the lid firmly on the advance of AI agents working directly on your computer. I think i’m working harder than ever, which is ironic, because i thought the whole point of AI was to do most of your work for you! Endless projects spawning into existence each night, for what reason, i truly don’t know, it’s not like i’m ever going to make something that someone hasn’t already made, and the chances are its an app on your iphone already.
I don’t know if this structure of writing is actually helping or not. Do i start using some headings in an attempt at breaking up the ramble? or do i stop rambling and actually write something of interest to others… but what is of interest to others these days, it would seem all anyone wants to do is scroll an endless supply of 10-20 second videos on their favourite social media platform.
How could i almost forget to mention something of note today! Sit down for this one, you won’t believe it, are you ready? i left my house and went into London to meet a friend i’ve known for 8 years but never met in person :) a fellow twitter degen who i stumbled across during the depth of the 2018 crypto bear market, sharing an interest in many things but mainly laughing at each others bad investment decisions over the years, after thinking we’d cracked the code on trading and would become millionaires! The meet was short and sweet, as he was only here for two days, but it was fun to finally meet up and shake the guys hand and share a laugh in person rather than through the internet. See, social media isn’t always a bad thing, you can actually meet some cool people and connect, it just might take nearly a decade to actually go say hi irl LMAO
Maybe, just maybe i attempt a short story each week, less rambling nonsense, instead, just start typing out a short story and one shot it, i did write one out at the start of the year in a notebook, maybe i start with that one, yeah, i’m gonna start with that one tomorrow. It’s called FLUSH.
