Losing Interest on Medium
The day may come when you stop writing and publishing
It is one of those days when I am losing interest in writing and publishing my work on Medium. It just seems so boring to write and publish, when it is not making a major difference.
I have a great many ideas on a variety of topics already published on Medium. I also have a large number of drafts waiting to be completed and published.
Why am I losing interest in writing and publishing on Medium?
- I have published 592 articles on Medium. I am close to reaching 600 articles soon.
- I have not reached as many readers as I would have loved to on Medium.
- My abundance of articles does not seem to have made much of an impact and I feel that I am wasting my time here.
- I would have loved to see a more dynamic publishing platform, where a writer’s output results in more exposure.
- The photos are very limited and I feel that more photo sites should be accessible to us directly through Medium.
- Presentation styles for articles are also stereotyped and need to be updated.
How should I sustain my interest in Medium?
a. Contribute to a few more publications for exposure.
b. Use more copyright-free public domain images from other sites.
c. Hope that the platform gets an overhaul to make article preparation and presentation more interesting and exciting in the future.
