You’re Nothing Without Goals
Take it from me — the queen of indecision.

I’m in another Medium slump.
It’s not that I don’t have ideas — I have plenty. There are tons of half written posts in my queue, and I still have 100 ideas that I brainstormed for Frank McKinley’s 30 Posts in 30 Days Challenge (I failed and quit about halfway through, by the way).
So why can’t I write?
- I can’t quiet my mind enough to focus.
- I can’t write with constant interruptions from my family.
- I don’t feel like anyone wants to read my stuff (even if that’s not really the case).
- I am getting disgusted with my personal stories (even though they make my best posts!).
It’s like, I was pumped in the beginning, so much that I earned 1K followers in 4 months. Not to mention, top writer in 3 categories! And after I hit those milestones? It feels like I’m back to square one.
And there’s also that voice inside, whispering: you’re not really a writer silly, quit kidding yourself.
Where do I want to go next?
What is it exactly that I’m working toward? What kind of stories do I want to write? Why am I even doing this?
