An Update On This Profile

As many of you can tell, I haven’t been posting for a while.

My last post was published on July 12th, almost a year ago. First of all, I would like to apologize for not posting regularly since then. A lot of things have been going on ever since that last article, and my schedule’s become much busier. Still, that’s not an excuse for not posting regularly, and it also doesn’t tell the whole story; the truth is I also became somewhat demotivated about this writing-articles-on-medium thing.

Even with a respectable following, I felt as if almost nobody was reading my articles and I also started to get self-conscious about my writing not being the best or the most interesting. Anyways, after a period of reflection that idea has changed; I now realize that I didn’t start writing on this platform with any purpose in mind other than to improve my writing, have a creative output, explore my interests, and mainly to just have fun writing. Now, obviously everybody who does this on a public platform wants somebody to actually read their articles. Otherwise, what’s the point in even posting them? Still, that’s not the whole picture for me; plus, somebody does read what I write most of the time, and that’s good enough for now.

Anyways all of that being said, I’m planning to post an article at least once a month. Thanks to all the people who have read my articles throughout the years, and I’ll promise we’ll see each other more regularly from now on. That’s all for now. Cheers!

Btw I really have been gone for a while so I used an Unsplash picture for this article, is that still standard? Anyways I'll probably keep using them either way.

Thank you for following, and your post, "An Update On This Profile"
Your second paragraph includes much of what other writers feel at different times.
Your expectation of, "to just have fun writing." is what keeps writers active on this platform.
When…

with any purpose in mind other than to improve my writing, have a creative output, explore my interests, and mainly to just have fun writing. Now,

Seems this statement is true for many of us. I write because it brings me satisfaction. It's my creative outlet, even if nobody else reads my words, I do. Thanks for this and for your following.
