I'm working on a similar project:
Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day
11–20 of 100 posts
Re: Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day
#12500 coincidentally is around the word limit for a chatgpt response.

#13Great idea. Looks good. It's always great to develop something for your own use. Years ago I used a similar site: https://750words.com/
I think I've been getting daily^W weekly email reminders to write my 750 words for 20 years now... I really ought to stop fooling myself that "I'll make this a part of my routine, soon!".

#14Does anyone else have the problem where they write a lot, but it all seems to go into the void and never produce any tangible benefit? How do I produce writing that people want to read?

My New Year's resolution, to achieve positive text-writing valuation, is to join the HN 10Karma Club.
It doesn't pay the rent, but one can't deny the quantitative validation of imaginary Internet points.

What do you write about?

I would suggest you to take some time to edit your writing. So you can improve on that and find a theme if you don't have one.

About two years ago I did. It was mostly a fear of being a failure & the potential to be successful. After I got over that, I wrote two books in two years and sold over 100 copies each as a first time author. Much of my validation came from posting comments including my writing in places like HN, Reddit, Twitter, etc. The internet voting machine would do its work of what people want to read while I would direct my energy towards something I wanted to read.

I resent you for making me aware of that this could be a goal. Cheers, and godspeed.

Signed up in about 2010? Managed about a month. Still getting the email reminders. Still going "Oh yeah, I should do that again."
