As an English teacher, I train my students to consider the Purpose, Audience and Context for every piece of writing that they do. Having said that, I’m always humbled at how some posts I write mainly for myself gain much traction here but other posts that I think would resonate with Stackers maintain radio silence. It taught me that 1. I can’t never predict the response of such a varied audience as SN accurately, 2. All I can do is write my best and leave the rest to the Universe

Introduction to Marcus Aurelius and the Stoic philosophy. I am INFINITE.

Acceptance of my preferred writing momentum. I wish I were one of those writers who can work doggedly on a substantial post and have it garner at least > 10k sats, but I have come to terms with the fact that 1. my hyperactive mind prevents me from labouring over a piece of writing for days/weeks, 2. I don’t need to gain a lot of zaps in order to consider myself a writer!

Be less of a cheapskate. Initially, I would always mull over whether I should post in territories with high posting fees, yearning to “break even” at least, but these days, I just post like a BOSS because 1. I value my content creation process enough, 2. I kinda feel obliged to support founders like @frostdragon who have committed themselves to sustaining their territory for a year or more, 3. even if a post gets only a few sats, I might receive a comment that makes me learn something new. I should value learning over sats.
