That's exactly the point - focus more on content and less on word count. But also, this tends to be more personal than about writing fiction.
I'm going to be posting a lengthy article about journaling that I am writing currently, along with the setup notes for TrackBear in the FediWriMo community later today, or possibly tomorrow.
And 72pt? Why so tiny? Go for 120pt or 240pt - you could type the word "and" and have three pages. ๐คฃ But all kidding aside, in the original post for this event I suggested for those using something like Obsidian or Notion (or any other non-paginating editor) they should probably use 300-350 words-per-page as a guideline.
