Today was the 15th day of my Seinfeld chain. I barely made it yesterday, which was a horrible day in more than one way. I still did it though. Today was easy. Tomorrow looks nearly impossible.
Since the power is in the continuity, not in the efficacy of any one day's writing, I try to do something on the project every day, even when exhausted and spent like today. The writing got done, that is the important thing, not how I feel.

I felt exactly the same today. You have no idea how much this post helped me.
The result: I didn't break the Seinfeld Chain and today is Day 14 on it.
Lesson learned: even on a very bad day, one can still do something useful in terms of writing.
...ah, but I have days upon which I make things worse, I could swear it.
Yes. It is possible to make things worse. But the damage is rarely that much in comparison with the benefit of continuity.
True - as long as you're willing to throw the damage out - as long as the commitment to continuity doesn't mean you have to continue in some odd direction (a mistake I have made).
