I Took A Month Off Medium
For so many reasons…
For starters, I did a writing challenge in September and although I successfully completed it, it burned me out.
I didn’t want to write for a long while after that. I was having a hard time finding motivation and time and topics. I also just felt as if I lost my voice for a little while there. It turned into more of just making content than voicing my thoughts and feelings. I want to get back to that.
Next, I got an infection above my eye which made it difficult to see out of for a good week. At the same time, I tested positive for COVID. And I don’t care if this is TMI but I also happened to start my period at the same time as those two things! How wonderful.
I live in Maine and if you know anything about what just happened here then you should know that it is hitting our community hard. It is such a difficult thing to deal with and to try and move forward. We are strong people but this is something that our community is going to feel the effects of for a very long time.
And that was October. I hope you can see why I needed a break from Medium. This is usually the place I turn to in times like those but this was a different level of burnout.
I’m back again. Certainly not posting every day but I hope to post a couple times a week!
If you like my content and want to support me, you can buy me a coffee or tip me on Medium. Claps, comments, highlights, shares, and follows are much appreciated.
As always, thank you for reading! <3
