The Secret to Happiness on Medium
Change your approach with a different perspective.
After taking a semi-hiatus from Medium, I’m a different writer.
I’m a happier writer.
And you can be, too.
Let me back up…
A year ago, I took a break writing regularly on Medium. This was after breaking $1500 last March. Unfortunately, my Medium income then plummeted for multiple reasons. Fortunately, this decline was a huge catalyst for personal growth.
A year later, I’m writing on Medium more frequently. But my approach has changed. In short, I’m a happier writer on Medium.
And you can be, too.
What inspired this change?
My circumstances at home changed and the world changed.
Basically, during the pandemic, I had my husband and step-son working from home and a 5 year old daughter to keep out of their way. That did not leave much time for consistent writing.
Further, when the pandemic started, my kind of stories didn’t gain much traction (basically it seemed like only COVID related stories did). I also think readership generally went down.
