You cowboy up and do it. You admit that every day isn't going to be perfect, and some days aren't even going to be good, but you go ahead and do it anyway. 365days is my first daily project, but when I founded www.365tomorrows.com, I wrote 84 flash fiction stories in 365 days. During that time I also started a podcast, worked on my Masters degree in creative writing and studied photography. I am familiar with daily projects. And some times you just push through till you get to the other side. You do something you aren't happy with, you take a risk, you do something that isn't perfect because you know that if you do it today tomorrow, or the next day, or any day ahead may give you something wonderful that you wouldn't have found if you didn't push through the hard times. Best of luck to you. -J.R. What I can tell you about doing a 365days project, when you feel down, or frustrated or tired or sick is that you just push through. You cowboy up and do it.
