       Show HN: Write 500 Words a Day
        
       Hello! I made a web application for my friend and I to use as part
       of a New Year's resolution and decided to open it up to the public.
       It's pretty simple but I've really enjoyed building it and using it
       so far. I've written ~10,000 words, which is a lot more than I used
       to write. Enjoy and be nice!

       | 
       | I would find it useful for that exact purpose, however, I think
       | 500 words might be too much. 150-200 is good enough. Would be
       | cool to be able to change the amount of words required.

         | between you and an AI, in your target language.

       | I can relate. Essentially, it's a journal. I find journalling to
       | be very healthy for my mind and have journaled online and offline
       | for most of my adult life. Though, I must admit, I don't do it
       | everyday. Personally, I find doing something artistic daily to be
       | the most fulfilling. Whether drawing, writing, playing music, or
       | whatever, it allows me to reap the benefits of exercising those
       | creative muscles.

       | The part about writing a few pages when you wake up is a good
       | idea, IMO. Not that it needs to be a daily structured routine,
       | but what you experience sleeping is a unique experience that is
       | worth writing down, occasionally. I've reflected on earlier
       | journals I wrote when I woke up and have been surprised to read
       | something I almost didn't recognize as my own.
