Most days I feel pretty uninspired but I still soldier on with these monologues. Because, even when I have no inspiration, I still enjoy the process of writing a few words every day. I might even go as far in saying that writing has become a lot more fun in general. I guess the mere exposure effect[1](#fn1-11502 "see footnote") also applies to things you compulsively do. I already can’t wait to turn some of these quick notes and loose thoughts into proper essays.

Perhaps somebody will then start reading them[2](#fn2-11502 "see footnote").

Concurrently, I do feel like giving up some days as I not always succeed to see the point. Why am I even putting so much time and effort into learning a skill like writing when I don’t even plan to use it commercially. I might be better off sharpening the skills I’m already more advanced in, like photography. Nevertheless, I still believe it’s a good idea to become more well rounded as an individual and a project like Monologue definitely helps reach that goal.

In any occasion, [the plans and wishes I articulated yesterday](https://mitchellens.ink/further-plans-and-wishes/) are very true. I do want to make more book-shaped things and traditionally, words are meant to be put into books. It makes sense. Though that’s mostly something I need to remind myself of.
