I joined ship 30 for 30 in early January to help me develop a shipping x writing habit. Prior to that, I had a daily writing habit but I struggled to complete full essays and share them. The ship 30 for 30 challenge is to write an atomic essay (1 idea, 250 words, less than an hour to write) every day for 30 days. I'm now halfway through the exercise and here are a few lessons from the process so far.
