Sweet Savory Sustainable

Do I draw every day? Yes. Do I post every day? No.

I tried to do the algorithm thing. I tried to match the pace. I did a 3-month test from December 2025 to February 2026. I posted every day. It sucked.

Every word, every capture, everything I did was beginning to feel forced. I kept looking back at my old posts from before I got sick. I was looking for inspiration from within my own work.

My photography. My art. My food. Me. Everything I shared was genuine and creative. I looked at the work I created in the 3-month window and all of it, although good, was forced. I was losing the edge, wit, and thoughtfulness I put into all I’ve created before.

I knew if I was going to keep pace with creating every single day for The 100 Day Project there was no way I’d be able to document everyday also. If it came naturally, then yes, I would post that day, but if I am not feeling it, I will simply create what I can and move on.

Days 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13. When I am short on time, I am challenging myself to sketch in my journal. I use a gel pen only. It is hard when I can’t erase it. But I need to learn how to use what I have and learn how to create with anything. I’ve been sitting on a pencil sketch for a couple of sessions. I found an old diner photo and have been building upon it. Almost there.
