I told her it wasn't fair to her and the kids that I was spending so much time on my daily writing. My wife saw the title of the article I was working on. (Yes, I actually stopped writing mid-word.) I've learned a lot from the experience and I have plans to continue writing regularly in the future. In fact, I still have a draft article that I started writing 9 months ago titled, "Hiatus." It starts like this: I have been publishing a daily article here since September 1, 2020. I could always come back to it later, I told myself. I decided it was time to take a break from my daily writing routine. I had nothing to show for what I had been doing. I decided at that point that I had had enough. The benefits lagged far behind the costs. ( I should say, though, that from the very beginning, the act of writing and publishing did sharpen my thinking and deepened my understanding of a great many topics.) I was spending roughly 20 hours per week beyond my normal work time writing these articles. I was averaging 15 daily visitors to my blog. I had been writing every day for five months.
By February of this year, I had published over 150 articles. It's very lonely at the beginning, and it requires a lot of upfront work before you see any payoff. Since most people spend the majority of their time on only a single social network, there is very little audience overlap. Every time I click Publish on a new blog post in my self-hosted Ghost account, a corresponding post is created on the following platforms: I pay for the $20/month Zapier Starter plan. One thing that has helped tremendously is automating the process as much as possible. With a daily email, you can forego all of those extras. I realize now why Jonathan Stark recommends a daily email as a writing routine, rather than a daily blog post. Part of this is all of the extra pieces that go into the format I've chosen: I generally write in the evenings after the kids (the younger ones, anyway) are settled in bed. Each article takes between 1-3 hours (depends on how many rabbit holes I end up going down while researching). To this point, I've been writing outside of my regular full-time hours. I started composing an answer in the comments, but it got so long I decided to make it its own post. How have you learned to accommodate this with everything else (career/family/etc.)? it's got to be a logistical load on your day and life.
