Why I keep writing, even though no One is reading my Stories

The Devil is always in the deep sea!

By Iqra AslamPublished 8 months ago 2 min read

Only thinking and continuously thinking lead to overthinking.

Overthinking leads to demotivation, and slowly you become lazy and anxious.

But why?

Because you are too ambitious in thinking but lazy in ACTION!

SO,

Why does writing give me a discipline to arrange my thoughts?

I make a to-do list daily and organize my working schedule. I also plan to search for engaging and unique blogs to write about on Medium.

Recently, I started writing in April, and in May, I got significant views and reads.

But all are non-members' views!

So earning is zero

But

Still, I am excited to write a story within two days.

So, how is writing helping me? Even I know no one is reading my stories!

I love the MEDIUM platform!

You wanna know why?

Because you share your personal experience.

You don’t have to be niche-specific.

Just write what you want to write ( ethically! )

1: Writing daily gives me patience

I am affirming that one day people will read my stories, blogs, and articles. Yes, I know I am too basic in writing and not a prolific writer, but still!

I am practicing it daily!

Why?

You know about the Movie "HARRY POTTER”

The Author “ JK ROWLING”

She approached several publications to approve her novel, but not a single publication accepted her masterpiece.

Right now, she has become a billionaire just because of that single story!

Yes, you only need a single “STORY” to be boosted by MEDIUM!

2: Writing regularly teaches us to learn every day

We all know "only flowing water is DRINKABLE," and the stagnant water is used for nothing but a hatchet for mosquitoes to breed!

The same is with our brains!

When we don’t accept challenges

We don’t work on ourselves

We don’t push our limits to learn new concepts

We don’t adopt good habits and work to get rid of bad ones

We became that stagnant stream which is hazardous for its living creatures inside the water.

So, for me, writing is a breakthrough to learn new concepts, to explore new ideas. I turn a blind eye to the earnings on my stories. Because I know it is a by-product, and one day I will earn more and more.

3: Writing renders to align my thoughts

I write for myself first, because it's you who matters first!

Sounds too selfish?

No,

I have a logic behind it

Once you are in a good mood, attire, and attitude, you care for other people.

  1. You treat people politely
  2. You give them presents
  3. You do what you can do!
  4. So a pot only pours when it has!

All in all, don't stop writing, even if no one reads your story!

DO it for yourself!

Supports the writer by giving a heart and share it to the ones whose stories are not read by anyone.
