Am I boring you?

Lately my stats have been inconsistent on Medium. I don’t let them deter me from writing but I do wonder if it means I am boring potential readers.

My life is complicated these days. I got health issues attacking me from both angels and I am merely holding on as best as I could. I do my best not to show my concerns at work, but at home I get distracted with thoughts of worry.

But I refuse to give up. I refuse to stop writing. I am determined to keep writing and stick to my promise to write everyday for a year. But I do admit, ultimately and secretly I am disappointed I haven’t been committing to the book I started writing a year ago.

I just keep telling myself that this is practice time — when I hone my writing skills and get better at using appropriate words to tell my story. It is a memoir I wish to write after all.

So, I ask you this…Am I boring you?

Am I not sharing topics that you can apply to your own life?

Do you feel like I can relate to you?

I want to know. Honestly. I want the truth.

I remember one of my writing teachers in college telling me that criticism is essential in order for a writer to improve his/her form. I didn’t appreciate it then but I realize now that I’d be a fool to dismiss it.

All ears if you want to shed some light.
