I know what you mean, I too have been feeling discouraged lately but I haven’t gave up.
I think after reading some of the responses here and talking to some others my motivation is beginning to return.
I’m gonna forget about trying to write to the curation guide lines and just write whatever way I feel like and about whatever I want, at least for the next wee while.
Forget about everything and just enjoy writing again.
I hope you find your drive again soon.
Thanks for reading and responding, much appreciated 😊👍
