"But if you are doing those things, not because you want to, but because you feel like you have to, hopefully this sets your mind at ease." BRAVO! Thank you so much for this much needed advice and clarification Zulie. I happen to be a niche writer, who writes a lot about Medium (though I've always written about "writing" even prior to coming to Medium). After what you shared in the above comment, I'm no longer certain of my motives. I definitely needed this food for thought - and oh what a feast. Thanks :-)
