Nice article dear @eevajonnapanula , I hope you're recovering well from your brain injury! ❀

I agree with many of your points. Personally, I like to use the 80/20 rule. For example, I try to write an article every week or so, and then spend more time sharing the post on various platforms. If you need to write for someone else than that's a whole different story. But if you're writing autonoumosly, quality > quantity. Writing a good article takes time! It's true, you have to organize it, edit it, make sure it's readable and informative, pick a nice heading, good images. It takes effort, but to me it's all about enjoying the process.

Regarding the negative comments, I haven't received any (not yet πŸ˜†), but I wouldn't take them personally, they're either trolls or people with no manners. Answer with kindness, you'll probably never meet these people in person.

Thanks for this article!! 😊

Thank you @maddy ! I am, I just got some symptoms to accompany me for the rest of my life, but I'm okay 😊

I couldn't agree with you more. And especially, when you write,

It takes effort, but to me it's all about enjoying the process.

that's exactly how I would describe how I feel about writing! And why I keep on writing, even if there are some not-so-nice or pressuring things happening πŸ˜„
