Tiny Experiments

I started a pact recently to put at lead 250 words down on my novel a day for the next 100 days. If you're interested in making a ton of progress on a project without getting bogged down or distracted with linear goal-setting frameworks, run, don't walk to this book! If you're willing to take the initative, autistic writers, ADHDers, and neurodivergent creatives in general can get a lot of out this.

Why I picked this up

For the last, oh, six years or so, I'd been struggling to make any kind of non-commercial craft happen. This book promised an ADHD-friendly method for setting goals I might actually stick to.

Thoughts so far

This is a book I'll probably return to and reference for the rest of my career change.

As of this writing I've finished 24 days of my 100 day challenge. In less than a month, not only have I written over 35,000 total words in my creative projects, I've also published 15 blog posts when I usually only manage two, and launched a newsletter. And I owe almost all of that progress to Le Cunff's method of viewing big, scary goals more like tiny experiments.

Neuroqueer vibe check

It's like Atomic Habits for neurodivergents. (Not just ADHDers, for once!)

Are you an autistic writer, artist, creative, or maker? I'd love to share some free resources with you, once a week. (No pressure tho.)

No spam, no sharing to third party. Only you and me.
