Chapter 1: The Challenge of Writing Consistently

Writing has always held a significant place in my life. As a non-native English speaker, maintaining a daily publishing routine is challenging due to various responsibilities and interests. It's not just about how often I publish; the quality of my work matters just as much. I need ample time to craft pieces that I feel genuinely proud of.

The initial weeks of my writing journey were an attempt to publish rapidly. I focused on speed, driven by determination and discipline. These traits, while essential, became overwhelming when I dialed down my joy and curiosity. The result? A sense of pressure and physical fatigue. I refuse to let that happen again; I want my writing to bring me joy.
