I don't want to write for life.
I don't mean I want to stop writing. I believe writing has become part of my existence; it's one of the things that defines who I am.
What I'm talking about is the need to make posts everyday on steemit. It's like a daily job I have to do or I don't get paid.
At this point, you're probably wondering what the fuss is all about. After all, I'm a writer. Writing should be easy for me.
Well, writing can be easy for me sometimes but that's not the point. The point is that I have to write regardless of whether I feel like or not; regardless of whether I have something to write about or not.
It's all because I've come to depend on steemit for my livelihood. I pay my bills based on the money I receive from steemit. And there are only two ways through which I can make money on steemit: write posts and win contests
Today, I don't feel like writing anything. Hell, I've been feeling that way for a long time coming. Each day I push myself to create something. Each day I have to settle for whatever comes my way.
It's not always that bad though. I got a curie upvote a few days ago on one of my random stories inspired by a picture I stumbled on on steemit.
Plus, I know that if I apply myself, I would win a few contests. I know all of that. Still, I want to be able to meet my needs without writing everyday
Now this is all a rant as I'm already writing a post already. I'm going to make posts tomorrow too. And the day after. And on and on and on... Maybe I'll rant about this tomorrow
Anyway that's end. It's better to rant than make shitty posts. This is a shitty post too but I think it smells nice.
Lol
I'm out
