Tipping my hat off for producing over 10k articles for 15 months and here I'm feeling elated for writing 20 articles in two months!

Very well said. If you think of writing as a creative endeavor and have fun, then you can definitely enjoy the game. Far too people on medium I come across are obsessed with follower count and read counts, when they should make the initial stages about enjoying and experimenting things.

Definitely love the point about showing up every day, whether you like it or not, similar to how we see a 9 to 5 job. I think thats the key. Show up, write something and then refine it as needed.
