The Second Step is the Hardest

6th August, 2026

So I feel I need to clarify: these are not my daily pages — this is just writing for fun. I just mention daily pages because that was what got me enthused about writing by hand.

My plan is to just let everything flow, spelling mistakes, poor grammar and all, but I will get a text version via AI, which I will scrupulously check with all my normal thoroughness. I will try and avoid crossing things out, so if I go off in some strange direction, I will continue and then correct myself, I think one page is good for the moment. It’s not very long, but reading my handwriting is probably a bit of a strain, so there’s a compromise. I don’t plan to have an update everyday or even on a reliable schedule, but would like to post these with some frequency, without it feeling like an obligation.

I think the next one might feature some actual content, rather than talking about the blog.
