When things go wrong on Medium.
Without motivation it is difficult to overcome bad numbers
On a gloomy day like today, what to do but write a few words just to clear the air and see some sunshine. Even if it doesn’t appear, at least the feeling remains that I managed to accomplish something, maybe someone will even come and read it.
There are days that are harder than others, this is one of those days. I haven’t written anything for a few days now. I haven’t felt like writing so I limited myself to reading, and there’s no shortage of good reading here. I also took the opportunity to read some of the older stories by my favorite writers. It has been a very pleasant experience.
I’m at a stage where I have little desire for anything. Sometimes it happens, there simply is no motivation. I think it has a little to do with the low number of views and readings that my stories have gotten. I know that things don’t always go well here, but the numbers have dropped so much that I don’t know what to do, so I’m reading here and there. I know it will get better but I was unmotivated and I prefer not to think about it too much and ignore it.
Tomorrow, next week or even next month, who knows if I will have recovered from this inertia that feels good but is so harmful. For now this is all I can write, until better days come. Good day to you all.
