I haven't made any progress with my stories. Every year is like a reset back to square one. 2021 is especially such a year where I've gone backward with progress.
Longer working hours take away from being able to write creatively. My completed stories aren't gaining the readership I've been working towards. It's like I've driven my DeLorean time machine back to 2006 and I'm still a pixel around the digit zero. This has impacted my motivation towards the completion of all my other in-progress works.
I'm not sure what else to do or where else to go if my Ko-fi strategy fails. Realistically, it will fail. The optimist in me clings to other reasons to make my strategies a success.
I know that I'll keep writing, but the emotions this whole author journey is putting me through is damaging.
