Writing every day, even when it feels impossible

Sam's story of rediscovering creativity after a 5-year break.

Sam L.December 20, 2024

I used to write constantly—short stories, journals, random thoughts. Then I got busy, and five years passed without writing anything.

I joined Strive with a simple goal: 'I want to be someone who writes.' Not a novel. Not a bestseller. Just words on a page.

My first updates were literally three sentences. 'Wrote today. It was hard. But I did it.' The community treated it like a victory.

Eighteen months later, I've filled three journals and finished a short story collection. None of it would exist without the pressure-free environment Strive created.
