Success is not a lottery ticket that you find right away.
It is like interest on a savings account that accumulates gradually as you consistently do something.
So, let's do it consistently without straining ourselves.

Three days of enthusiasm

I started writing blog posts in July.

Organizing the thoughts that were only in my head into writing and presenting them to others
This process was embarrassing, but it was fun in its own way.

I was initially enthusiastic about writing.
I wrote one, sometimes two posts a day and posted them on my blog.
I had plenty of ideas and passion for writing at the time.

I also invested a lot of time and effort in writing.
Despite my lack of writing skills, I focused on writing with the mindset of an author.

Through the process of drafting, feedback, and revision,
I constantly asked myself questions like, "Is this sentence appropriate for this context?", "Should I omit this content?".

How did people react to the posts I wrote so diligently?
People didn't even read my posts or show any interest.
Since people weren't interested in my posts, my passion and interest waned.

As time passed, writing became less fun, and I found it difficult to find my writing groove.
I used to write 1-2 posts a day, but now I'm struggling to write even one post a week.

A YouTuber who consistently strives

I came across a video on YouTube.
And through this video, I had a great reflection.

Actually, the content of the video didn't move me as much as the YouTuber's consistency and number of subscribers.

When I first discovered this YouTuber, they had a small number of subscribers and viewers.
It was just like me.

But this YouTuber was different from me.
I lost my passion and interest in the face of people's indifference,
but this YouTuber consistently uploaded videos regardless of the results.

Perhaps it was because of consistently uploading videos?
The YouTuber currently has 36 videos and about 1,700 subscribers.

Through this incident, I realized that success doesn't come immediately.

Success that accumulates gradually as you consistently do something

Success is not a lottery ticket that you find right away.
It's like interest on a savings account that accumulates gradually as you consistently do something.

So, I'm going to try writing consistently again.
I'll write consistently, but I'll do it without straining myself, unlike before.

If I write consistently, my writing skills will improve,
and I'll be able to write posts that people will be interested in at some point.

Until then, I'll keep writing, like interest on a savings account, bit by bit.
