Medium used to be my family, now just like my real family and life back home, everything just seems so far away.
That was the plan, right? well sort of, I’ve set myself up a little, well as much as I can for someone who plans to leave again in 2019.
I need advice, my medium homepage no longer offers easy access like it used to. I find maybe 3 or 4 pieces that capture my attention and the rest is like a needle in a haystack. I know Medium hosts a ridiculous amount of great writers and people I’ve formed connections with prior to my departure, but it feels like I’m a ghost here now.
Admittedly, I don’t spend a lot of time here anymore, subsequently, I don’t write as much as a result. This isn’t good for me, I work crazy hours to save enough to keep me afloat and travel while I’m away, but I miss my family and need some inspiration again.
I’m sorry I have missed your work, I just feel like I’m almost too far behind to catch up :(
I am hoping to find a happy medium for the above.
A few questions to follow, but right now it seems unless I’m super active here my old medium set up is unlikely.
Hopefully moving into a place of my own soon so the dedicated writing space and a place to call my home will enable me to be in a better place, mentally and spiritually to get back to ALL the things I love.
At the moment all I seem to do is work and travel, I need some creativity again.
Questions:
Can you please spare some time to recommend some new writers my way? in particular the poets/short fiction and inspiring pieces? I’m open to discovering new stuff
What is the deal with this clapping feature? what sort of procedure do people follow?
How do you navigate the new medium to keep up with it all and stay in the loop, so to speak?
What publications are good to follow these days and which would you recommend to get the creativity happening again?
As a writer, what inspires you? how do you write consistently when you’re in a slump?
Any advice is welcome!
I’m in a bit of a slump.
Calling on writers and mates to help a sister out. I’m not ready to give up but I’m very anxious.
