User:EF5/An essay a day

I've made up my mind - I'm going to do something that I don't think any other user has done: write an essay every day for 365 days. This effort came out of the blue, and I just thought of it one morning while taking a shower (weird, I know). Anyways, 365 days of me rambling in my userspace (if an essay is good enough, I'll move it to WP:-space). I'll schedule them up to ten days in advance, and will try to make them relatively lengthy (>3-4,000 bytes). You could call this a year-long writing exercise, in a way. Excluding holidays and sick days, of course.

Started April 16, 2025 and I currently have 2 written.
