One random day, I decided to check which publications I was part of and whether I needed to leave any.

I am the kind of person who has an OCD-like tendency to randomly scroll through my phone and delete unnecessary messages, photos, and contacts.

So naturally, when I noticed I was part of way too many publications (even though I regularly post in only two or three), I knew it was time to declutter.

What’s the point of being part of so many publications if I am not contributing?

None, right?

With this in mind, I made a resolution: This year, I will publish at least one story in each publication I am part of. If I can’t write anything worthwhile for a publication, I will leave it.

Additionally, I decided to part ways with publications that are old, inactive, or where I know I won’t publish anything.

Here are the ones I left so far (with a heavy heart, of course):
