User blog comment:EtherBot/Negative Culture and How I Write My Showcases/@comment-26475800-20180913192058

Hey man. While I don't think I've ever really spoken to you, I have noticed you in my times when I come onto this site. I've looked over a good number of the blogs that you've posted and thought that you had done a good job with the ones that I've seen. That being said, you have to take care of yourself first man. If you're overwhelmed by all the work it takes and having such little return, don't do it any more. I think a good number of the writers on this site write because they enjoy it. A few are here because they want to make a name for themselves, but most of us write because we enjoy it.

When it becomes stressful and too much, take a step back. If it isn't enjoyable, don't do it. I remember when you first came here and were giving other writers a place to be seen. I think that was an amazingly useful thing for those writers, instead of seeing the same four or five people being talked about. I'm not saying that those people are bad writers, but they always out shined all the rest, so you swooped in and gave someone else a place in the sun for a little bit. You did a lot for a lot of people on this site and should be happy for what you've done. If this is the last we see from you, you'll be missed. But I'm sure all the people that you showcased their work will never forget you.
