Hi Carrie, thanks for sharing. I’m glad I read this today. Without knowing why except having a lack of creativity, I haven’t been writing here much these days (or reading) , and I think you’ve identified at least one factor that resonates with me. Medium initially comes across like an exciting new candy store on the block, and everything is great because it’s all this sugar that gives you a spike in your glucose levels. But after a while, your system crashes. And it takes a whole new diet to get your insulin levels back to normal and feeling well again. I don’t think I went nuts at the candy store, but this is a good time for me to rethink what I want to do with my writing.
