Should I write at the same time every day?

Quick Answer
A daily writing habit is a commitment to producing text every single day, regardless of quality or length. This ritual builds the 'creative stamina' necessary for long-form projects and ensures that your ability to think and communicate clearly is sharpened daily through practice.
Overcoming the 'Resistance'
Steven Pressfield calls it 'The Resistance.' The only way to beat it is to show up. Tracking your 'Write/Don't Write' status in Habit Chronicle builds a meta-habit of courage. Even 200 words a day is a victory that leads to a finished book.
Pro Tip
Entering a 'Flow State' takes about 15-20 minutes of focus. A daily writing habit primes your brain to enter this state faster over time. Habit Chronicle helps you see the correlation between your 'Days in a Row' and your creative productivity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my writing is bad today?
Quantity leads to quality. Focus on hitting your word count or time goal in Habit Chronicle. You can always edit bad writing, but you can't edit a blank page.
Does social media writing count?
While it's writing, it's often more 'reactive.' A true writing habit focuses on 'generative' work, like a book, blog, or personal essay.
