If you feel like writing, keep doing what you love! Don't let the opinions beliefs and expectations of others sway your heart. There will always be different viewpoints and people that criticize. People are struggling enough to understand themselves and push that on others.
The insight I share with you is: Being authentic to yourself is priceless. Do it because you love to, not for the rewards or audience. Most of steemit is based on bots and automated promotions to get upvotes and be paid. Enjoy the cycles of creativity and flow into other aspects of life.
I travel around, but I write only a few times a week. I do prefer to be in nature and spending time with people; rather than on a laptop.
