With each 100 words email milestone I've gotten excited. 

"One week of consistency, woohoo!" "We've made it a month, this is awesome!" "Two months, on a roll!"

Today marks three months of sending out this email! But with this milestone I feel less excited, probably because we've hit the hard stage. Feedback has dried up, excitement from readers (and writers) has waned, and the subscriber growth has gone stale. 

So often in life we hit this tipping point, where we must choose to push through or alter our course. No we're not quitting this project, just trying to be transparent..
