Writers are Readers. [5] What should you do when you get tired of writing?
Even though it was fun at first,
before you knew it, you started thinking, "I have to write every day," or "I need to get more reads,"
and before you realized it,the act of writing itself became a bit of a burden.
Have you ever felt that way?
I have, too.
1. What happens when writing starts to feel like a burden
When you get tired of writing, it is often because
it has become an "obligation" somewhere in your heart.
• I have to keep posting every day
• It's meaningless if there's no reaction
• I feel like I'm losing to someone
But, originally, "writing" should be allowed to be more free.
So first, I want you to ask yourself:
"What was it that I was writing for in the first place?"
2. Are you getting too caught up in "being read"?
The desire to "be read" is very natural.
However, if you focus too much on numbers and reactions, your "own words" will eventually feel distant.
Especially on note, it is a place wherethe waves of reaction are hard to predict.
There are days when even a good article doesn't gain traction, and there are times when an unexpected article goes viral.
Therefore, the most important thing is
not the numbers, but how you face "yourself who keeps writing".
3. It's okay to let go of writing for a while
When you feel "tired,"
I think it's okay tostop writing for a moment.
• Try reading someone else's article
• Try reading a book you're curious about
• Try consulting an AI just for ideas
• Just zone out and experience daily life
"Time spent not writing" is also important timeto nurture your sensibilities.
Once you've accumulated enough input, the desire to "want to write" will naturally return.
4. To you who still wants to write, even after all that
If you are thinking, "I'm tired, but I still want to try writing" right now—
that alone is enough.
It's okay if you can't write well.
It's okay if you aren't read by many people.
If you wrote even one line of your own words more than yesterday, that means you are "keeping at it."
The fact that there is a "writer" on note also connects to supporting someone else's "reading."
5. Conclusion and Next Preview
I hope you read this article when you want to pause for a moment.
There is no right or wrong way to continue on note, but
"When it's tough, make sure to rest"
that is also an important way to walk your note journey.
Next time: About the experience that made me realize the "joy of writing" all over again.
In the days when I tended to get caught up in being read,
I will introduce the event that reminded me of the meaning of "writing for myself."
Look forward to it✍️
