Wow. A Lot of Writers Give Up.
Trying to get my mojo back here on Medium and I’ve made some keen observations about writers here
So sadly I’ve lost some of my mojo here on Medium. Is it the awful sordid summer slump that everyone keeps talking about? Am I getting bored? Am I failing to honor a commitment I made? If that’s the case how am I gonna fare once I turn 30 and like, quit smoking, drinking, coffee, naps, weed, and junk food as I have promised myself?
So I got a little anxious that I wasn’t putting my all into this as I promised. I did super awesome-ly in June. I worked my butt off and drove a lot of organic traffic to my page.
I have a tendency to self sabotage, and fortunately I’m aware of that tendency now. I reach a point that proves that I can succeed, but then I don’t take a step over that line, or I revert back to old habits, knowing that I can do otherwise if I just tried.
Naturally, this is a very toxic habit, since I ought to be treating any venture as something going up and up, not something that ultimately deflates.
So, today, I got back on Medium, with the intention of writing a short article (this one), maybe getting back into writing my novel, and then going down the list of my 1.4k followers, one by one, and doing some engagement.
