I’m approaching 6 years of daily writing and posting. I’ll hit that milestone on 21 July 2025, and I’m considering finishing up when that day comes.
I’ve learned so much over the past 6 years; about myself, about how to stay open and curious about the world around me, and about developing my own style of writing. I’ve also met and made friends with some wonderful people from around the world.
However, over the past year, I’ve felt a dimming of the creative flame. I’ve pushed through on many days because daily writing daily has become a habit. But I’ve found myself wondering if it is really something I want to keep up for much longer.
As pressures on my time and schedule have increased, I’ve had less time to write, and I’ve made trade-offs. The quality of my posts within the past year haven’t been of the same quality as previous years, and I’ve often found myself late in the evening with little to say. I’ve also felt that there are other creative outlets that I’d perhaps find more fulfilling.
If it do stop the daily posting, I’ll probably continue to post on an ad hoc cadence, but it certainly won’t be daily. I haven’t come to a decision yet, but I thought I’d write about it and share my thinking with you all.
