Another Obstacle on the Writer’s Journey
How do I switch writing modes?
My call-to-action came in the beginning of March. A favorite blogger and writing guru, Shaunta Grimes, said “Hey guys, you should write on Medium!”
And I answered the call.
I was hesitant at first. I had questions.
Was the effort I was investing worth it? Would Medium help me reach my goals as a writer, or would it be yet another bright idea that fell flat and was eventually abandoned? Would anybody really want to read what I had to say?
It turned out, the answer was yes.
The effort is worth it. Medium is helping me reach my goals. People do want to read what I write.
That’s a nice feeling, y’all.
I rode that wave through three months of increasing productivity.
I wrote more, I wrote better, and my reach grew as I was curated a few times and learned to network. I felt like I was getting the hang of this Medium thing. Yay!
The obstacles begin.
Obstacle number one was a deep depressive episode that drained me, cut off my creativity, and left me unable to write at all…
