Exercise

Sometimes writing is hard. But working out (in the gym) is hard too, still people keep doing it. We (speaking of this community) show up regularly to hone our skills. Not everybody is doing the exercise “right”, but is there even a right or wrong?
If you do a bench press wrong in the gym, there is a high risk of injury. Writing some random thoughts together in a line that doesn’t make sense doesn’t hurt, or does it? It seems like the daily writing exercise can be done at any state. The output might not be good, but it will be probably than the last one.
No, listen to the voice of @therealbrandonwilson in your head when he says, “Who cares?” in one of his Brandonian Doctrines. We are our own judge, and only we decide how good or bad our craft is. Yes, there will be haters and people who don’t appreciate your stuff, but so what? I’m journaling for myself, it just happened to be on a public site.
