The week I wrote 500 words a day for 5 days straight - here is what happened

I tried this challenge from a blog post I found, and by day 3 my brain felt like mush. But on day 5 I wrote a whole scene that actually made me laugh out loud. Has anyone else tried these short term writing sprints and seen real progress?

Honestly my brain was just making weird noises by day 4.

Man that dial-up modem comparison is way too accurate. I had a similar thing happen on day 4 where it sounded like an old printer jam that just kept grinding. Did yours ever actually turn into something you could kind of follow or was it just random static the whole time? I swear mine almost had a rhythm to it by day 6.

Day 3 was when mine started sounding like a dial-up modem from 1998, so I feel you @rowan_roberts49. By day 5 I was just hoping the weird noises would sync up into a song or something.
