It was worse than I thought it would be…

I never wanted the break to happen. I didn’t do anything to make it happen either. I was writing all throughout the four day hiatus from being published, but I simply wasn’t getting published!

I submitted to more than three publications within the four days I wasn’t published for and I didn’t get accepted nor declined from any of them. I don’t know why it happened or how it happened, but I really wish it didn’t.

Above are my stats, and as you can see they plummeted the moment I stopped getting published. The circles underneath each day reflect how many stories of mine got published or if any articles got published.

In a matter of four days, my views went from around an average of 200 to an average of 20–30. I’m not upset with this and I’m not complaining, however, I want this to be an example for any other writers on Medium.

As you can see, my stats didn’t perform too well when I didn’t get published, and that is expected. However, this decline is a lot more than I expected, and a lot faster than I expected. It took only four days for such a rapid and impactful decline.

With this new knowledge, I highly recommend that you don’t take breaks from a schedule. I’m not saying publish every day or publish multiple times a day. Instead, I’m saying that you stick to a schedule. If you are going to publish twice a week, then publish twice a week every week. Your stats should be pretty much consistent week by week. If you’re going to publish every day, make sure you publish every day, and so on so forth. Best of luck!
