Yep, I Gave Up On Writing
And here I go again!
I haven’t been active on Medium much the past month, to be honest, and regarding my writing in general, I haven’t been as consistent as I had been the previous year.
I went on holiday which threw everything out of whack and somehow I just never recovered from the post-holiday blues.
To be completely honest though, I just didn’t feel like writing on Medium.
After some reflection, I realized there were a few reasons why.
Firstly I felt like my progress had plateaued and even gone a few steps backward.
I felt like when I was writing on here consistently at the start of my Medium journey I was seeing progress and growth, but with all algorithm changes and whatnot, I wasn’t seeing the rapid growth I had seen initially, and as much as I tried not to allow it to be, it was pretty disheartening.
It just felt as though I was making all this effort for no reason, and writing on here started to feel more and more pointless.
One thing that had been pestering me for a while (and I was wondering whether it was something I should even mention) was having some ideas of mine not credited by writers on here.
