Absolutely loved this article!! As a relatively new-ish writer to Medium it was easy to get caught up in stats and curation which also caused me to write quantity over quality and just forced topics - totally took my passion and the heart of why I write out of it. I struggle with this because sometimes I write something that I put so much effort and soul into, and it's read by 30 people. - I hope it impacted at least some of that small number but it's definitely a hard pill to swallow. I just keep the faith and keep going and have gotten back to the place where I write an average of 2 pieces per week, with much more sanity!
