Taking A Break
Don’t worry, it’s good news!
Don't worry; the title isn't supposed to scare you. If anything, I've been wanting to tell you what I want to work on!
There are more projects I want to focus on, and I don't just want to disappear without any warning. I owe you that much.
I've already complained about Medium becoming more corporate by the day, but I am taking a step back to focus on becoming a better writer.
I've been doing open mic poetry sets, seeking mentorships, doing courses, and learning street interview skills. My life has been busy, and it's only getting busier.
I don't want to give you half of my attention or shallow content, yet I've contemplated doing that.
So I had two choices: continue making rushed content that isn't true to my vision, or take a step back to focus on the other craft of writing.
Choosing the latter is the harder part, hence why I knew it to be the most authentic choice. I hope that time away from here will help me focus.
How long, it depends. 1-3 months? Maybe less than that? Maybe more? But it won't be the last you see of me online.
What am I working on? I won't ruin the surprise, but it rhymes with “poultry selection”. And much more.
Thanks for understanding, and I hope you have a good one. I have dreams, so I'll do what I can to chase them!
