100 x 100

100 words a day, for 100 days. That's the challenge that Jeremy Keith has just completed, inspiring my own imitation.

I've attempted similar projects in the past: monthly comics, weekly videos, daily Tumblogs. Ultimately each failed. Tumblr came closest to success, for two core reasons:

  1. I cast a wide content net, ensuring inspiration remained plentiful.
  2. The queue.

Life is unpredictable and frequently more enticing. By writing/queuing multiple posts at once, I created buffer zones; I achieved my goals without restricting my life. But, then I moved and the buffer ran out...

Hopefully, by further refining that model, I can complete this challenge.
