I wrote this post because I wanted to write the 2nd written text on the 22nd of January, 2026.
The truth is that ahead of me are five days off. I won’t work. I agreed with my employer that I should have a rest not only mentally, but also physically. After all, due to my injury, I should not sit for 8-12 hours daily. Perhaps I should try to take short walks. I mentioned in my previous post entitled “Sooner than expected?” that I want to take a short walk tomorrow, without crutches. Let’s see how it goes. Still, knowing that for the next five days I will be sleeping for 8-10 hours, I decided to write another post, even though I did not have anything special to communicate. It would be great to use the upcoming days to write at least two texts daily. By doing it, I would extend the period of publishing one post daily.
The truth is that I started publishing one post daily on the 10th of September, 2022.
While writing this text, I decided to check how many days I’ve been doing it (the Excel file will help me to calculate it). I’ve been publishing one text per day for 1230 days. Considering I have already scheduled 104 posts on my blog (it means that these posts will be published even if I die tonight), and that I have 65 texts waiting to be scheduled on my blog, I can say that there is a high probability that I will be publishing one post daily for over 1400 days. It means that it is likely I will be doing it for at least four years. While writing all these things, I checked how many words I’ve already written, how many more I should write to reach the number of words in the Bible.
As of today, I’ve written ~682k words. It is estimated that the King James Bible consists of ~783k words.
Knowing the above numbers and assuming that each of my texts has 300 words (even though practically always my texts have more than 300 words), I still need 333 subsequent texts to reach the number of words in the Bible. If I manage to write one post daily in 2026 (it is unlikely, but I will try to do it), I can say that in the first half of 2027, I will reach the number of words in the Bible. I do not know why I check all these numbers.
After all, I wrote many times that we should kick the numbers out of the world of art. Also, it is not the number of words that counts, but their quality. I believe that future generations will judge fairly if my texts were of good quality. For today, I would treat the numbers provided above as a curiosity, nothing more. Also, I want to stress that I am simply glad I am alive and that I can use my talent number 1, “Intellection” (from the Clifton Strengths Talent Assessment) to write.
