Wrote 500 words every day for a month and finally finished something

Last month I set a timer for 20 minutes each morning before work and just wrote whatever came to mind. No editing, no judging. Three years ago I could barely finish a short story. This morning I printed out the whole thing. It's 42 pages and probably terrible but it's done. Has anyone else found a weird routine that actually works for finishing stuff?

Oh come on, really? I mean sure it looks fancy but think about what they probably had to give up to get there. Probably no free time, no hobbies, just grinding away at some project that maybe one other person cares about. And for what, a few likes and some comments from strangers? Feels like we're celebrating people for climbing a ladder nobody asked them to build in the first place. Honestly I'd rather have a chill weekend than whatever that achievement cost them.
