What I Lost By Not Showing Up On Medium For One Week?
Amazing stories, making connections and above all — on great ideas!
The more I write, the more I realize that writing is not a one time activity, it is a process. A writer grows with each writing experience and also from each ‘not writing experience’.
Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we do miss out on performing the sacred activity — writing. We all have our reasons for it and I feel it is okay because at times, other things in life take the front seat and we have no option but to cater our energies towards those things.
Recently, I encountered a similar experience. Despite wanting to write daily, I could not and until yesterday, I was beating myself up about it. I suffered a major FOMO from not writing. Not only could I not write, I barely found any time to show up on Medium and read or engage.
A couple of times, I also made failed attempts to type down what was on my mind and I tried to not care about the quality of that story but it didn’t work. I could not hit publish. I debated with myself on whether writing everyday matters more or writing good. I still do not have a clear answer and maybe there never will be one. It is a subjective opinion.
