After giving it a lot of thought, I concluded that my fear of missing a day of writing is irrational.

It is absurd for me to believe that I will fall into another two-year rut just because I let 24 hours go by without posting anything. Complete nonsense.

I understand that the only way to beat my fear is to confront it.

It ends today.

I will not write or publish anything at all for day 27 of my November writing challenge. I will skip it and go straight from day 26 to day 28.

I am not a superstitious man, after all. I know my creativity will not be constrained by such silly rituals.

One entire day without posting anything at all. I can do it, right?

Wish me luck.

Wait.
