How to Build a 14-day Writing Streak

Hey amorteurs,

This short guide is for those that want to build a consistent writing streak.

In this email, I'll show you how I went from never making it past a few days of writing consistently, to crossing the threshold and building a now strong 14-day writing streak.

Let's get started.

The problem with most new writers

The problem with most writers is that they're inconsistent, unprepared, and unable to face it.

About 8 months ago, I was a new writer.

It wasn't my first time publishing work online.

I had work scattered about on Reddit and other web fiction websites.

I, too, had dreams of making it big with my imagination, and took to the one medium I had most experience with: fiction.

(Or the closest thing I had to having "experience." In reality, fiction writing and watching television are two VERY different things).

Yet, despite prior experience writing online and writing in classrooms, I had one fundamental flaw:

I was inconsistent.

No one taught you how to be consistent in school. Your parents might not have drilled the importance of it. You might have never thought it was important at all.

After all, it's not just writing: exercising, practicing music or languages, and dialing in your health habits...

ALL of these are habits, and all of these might seem difficult to build, especially as you grow older, try new things, and fail a bunch.

The problem with most writers is that they're inconsistent, unprepared, and unable to face it.

The mindset that wins

Sticking to a progress-first mindset > a perfection-first mindset is the panacea.

Before, I believed that you had to produce quality work to succeed: aka perfect work.

I would publish irregularly what was already imperfect work, not realizing it is the number of iterations that made the magic of skill improvement.

Then, I thought you need to be perfectly consistent, missing 0 days, to reap the rewards of compound interest and make the most improvement.

Now, I understand that it's impossible to expect a perfect streak.

Instead, here's the mindset:

NEVER MISS TWICE.

Studies show you can miss one day, and it doesn't affect the establishment of habits.

Adopting this mentality means embracing progress over perfection, and realizing it is, indeed, perfection.

It's a more sustainable and realistic way to go. You'll have bad days. And on those bad days, I used to force myself to push through.

Now, I embrace rest and recovery.

Before I would:

• Motivate myself to keep an impossible number of habits

• Feel guilty for not meeting expectations or letting life get in the way

• Maintained 0 habits, including writing

Now I:

• Take the easy lane, effortlessly building tens of habits

• Feel relieved to take a break when I need to

• Maintaining a 14-day writing streak, along with 100+ day language learning streaks, etc.

The one takeaway? Remember to

Never Miss Twice.
