Thank you Arielle for sharing your thoughts on how the drive of publishing in small spurts has diminished.
The urge to leave the digitals happened to me to a while ago. Finding community with people I can physically touch is on.
When I reviewed older posts of my younger self I was stunned at how much wisdom was already there in pixels - which somehow during writing the words had not gotten around to sink in into me, having me repeat the unadvantageous actions all over, although I had already scribbled out the story’s unfortunate end as well as a nice turnaround to prevent the same.
As if I had only conveyed the message elsewhere and not consumed the learning.
I find that people who grow upconsuming first and publishing later to have processed a lot of wisdom first. At least that’s how I explain the many brave youngsters who decide to focus on health, personal development, the ones who keep on fridaying for futureand who believe in action.
Or is that just a youngster’s energy?
For myself I notice, I am not ready for the speed the digital world is turning at. Seeing people scroll through Tiktok, I already get overload from trying to process it all 😅
Well said; I very much resonate with this. I am also increasingly finding "the work of self-promotion to be at odds with what I want as a writer and as a person."
