I'm going to give up writing!

At least, that is how I feel tonight. No one has responded in hours so now I am imaging the worst. Maybe I am not a good writer and pick the most boring subjects. Perhaps, I will never write a good sentence again. Is it possible that I will never be a Margaret Mitchell or Jean Auel? Do you ever get burned out with writing and think about quitting? Maybe I should get on the train and keep on riding, not writing.

I am not a good writer either but I have few responses in my posts. Maybe you have to go around some posts and interact with them. Surely you will get responses. I never think of quitting to write, especially not in myLot.

I got responses earlier. Went to church and came back and no response at all. I just think crazy sometimes. I think we all do. Besides that, I have gotten likes and responses to different posts that others wrote besides the ones I wrote and my bank has not moved since sometime yesterday.

@Hatley What can I say, Patsie? Great minds often think alike.

I don't think I want to eat any worms. It is possible that I might need some sleep. That is when I get crazy and sometimes creative thoughts when I am very tired.

Not on Mylot, I post a few discussions now and then but mostly I look for something to respond to in hopes someone is interested in striking up a conversation, have you looked around to see what others have written?

I assume you're talking about a discussion with no responses? That can happen at times and often is nothing to do with the starter or the topic. I don't see myself as a writer I'm someone who likes discussions so don't spend too much time worrying about what I write....I want to get responses so I can discuss a topic. If you often get 0 responses maybe look at what you're writing or try to get more followers who like similar subjects. Often topics don't pick up responses for a while but over time they get them. Always try to get back to any responders as people like to respond to people that they know will get back to them.

I always try. I don't post unless I can stay and respond at least for a while. If I miss some tonight, I will get to it in the morning, first thing. I have not had any posts with 'no responses.'

@akalinus I do exactly the same. When I post one of my rare discussions I try to stay around for a while so as to get back to at least the first few responses as quickly as possible and to get the instant back and forth that I like.

Never give up. You must not become a quitter. You have to hang in there with the rest of us.

The weekends are always slow, it happens that a discussion ends up in nowhere land where nobody is there to interact. It happens to all of us.

it seems to happen now and again, but don't take it personal. It could be many factors that influence it.

Sometimes it just takes a while for the responses to start coming. But don't give up. And you have some good advice in the responses.

I never thought of giving up writing. I understand traffic and earnings are seasonal.

I've found that bring overly tired makes me despondent or pessimistic, at times. I get discouraged about writing, as a result. Even if you need to take a break, I'm sure you'll be able to come back to your work refreshed, since you seem to be very passionate about it.
