Dawn, I relate to every single thing you've expressed here. I love Medium. I really do. And I've had some moderately successful months as of late, but nothing like I was experiencing. I need to reflect over the next few months--if I can still see areas of measurable growth (even if my earnings don't again skyrocket), I'll continue to prolifically publish here. But if I am stagnant or regress in growth, I may have to pull back. I'll never leave the platform, but I may need to start investing most of my submission time off-platform 😭
