Navigating the Challenges of Writing
Each article I produce seems to surpass the last in terms of disappointing performance. I’m not sure if others experience the same, but over the past month, my pieces have been earning significantly less.
Interestingly, some articles are garnering even more traffic than before, yet it feels as though many of my readers are merely skimming the content. I struggle to accept this notion, especially since I’ve had a steady group of friends who have consistently engaged with my work.
It’s disheartening to check my earnings in the morning and see that I’ve only added a mere $2 to my monthly total. On a good day, it’s barely reached $3. It feels as if I’ve regressed to where I was several months ago, and this regression is draining my motivation. I sometimes wonder if my creativity has atrophied.
Lately, I’ve focused solely on personal narratives, drawing from memories, but this has led to a sense of creative drought. A heavy despair seems to be settling in my mind, and instead of shaking it off, I find myself growing increasingly attached to it.
This isn’t a post where I’ll conclude with a cliché about perseverance or finding joy in writing despite the challenges. No, today, I simply want to express my current reality and the emotions I’m experiencing.
My frustration is intense, and it’s difficult not to feel defeated by the apparent decline in engagement with my writing. Each morning, as I check my earnings, it feels like a gut punch.
As my friend Denis often says, money is never enough. While I understand that, the potential for some extra income has always motivated me. Yet, it seems that no matter how much effort I invest, the results are disheartening.
I yearn to recapture the enthusiasm I had before June! Staying positive becomes increasingly difficult when faced with such disappointing outcomes. Perhaps this is just a temporary phase, and things will eventually turn around. For now, I’m wrestling with feelings of defeat while trying to rediscover the passion that once drove my writing.
Thank you for taking the time to read this! Your support truly means the world to me, and I’m grateful for every one of you accompanying me on this journey. ❤️
