I could not agree more. My daily updates did stop. Writing something that is not complete shit for an entire year was hard. However, writing is also a personal experience. This again, is why I say write for the joy of writing. My goals were 1) become a better writer 2) focus on something that takes more then a few days, and see it through 3) document as much as I could about things I've learned over my career 4) write about things I love, which is something I think other nerdy people enjoy. In this example, my blog became more of a conscious stream. The articles that resinated with "my people" organically became popular. No SEO. No clickbait. No search-engine/spam shenanigans. Real writing from a real person with a real goal.
