About Typeshare

Since the inception of this project, I've been actively posting on Typeshare. One of the standout features that drew me in is the tracking of my writing streak. While I could monitor my progress independently, the streak symbol on Typeshare adds a unique motivation. Once you begin, there's a strong desire to keep that flame alive.

After I publish on Typeshare, I often select certain articles to also share on my Medium account. However, I've noticed a significant drop in views for those pieces compared to when I post directly on Medium. Despite setting up five different topics to improve visibility, the results remained largely unchanged. Out of curiosity, I decided to remove the articles from Typeshare and repost them directly on Medium. The outcome? The pieces originally shared on Medium garnered a much larger audience. It makes me wonder if Medium is intentionally limiting traffic from external sources, though my findings are quite limited; it’s also possible my audience on Medium simply isn’t large enough.

No Room for Perfectionism

I’ve let go of the need for perfection, as there simply isn’t enough time to dwell on it. What matters most is getting my thoughts down coherently. There are moments when I sit with my laptop, sipping a Hojicha latte, completely unsure of what to express. In those instances, I just start typing whatever comes to mind. Sometimes it’s related to my current topic, and other times it veers off course entirely. But that’s okay; I simply keep writing, much like I’m doing now. It may feel like I’m rambling, but these thoughts are genuine and flow from my heart, even if they seem unfiltered.

Becoming More Authentic

I’ve noticed a shift in my writing style—I've become more straightforward than I was at the beginning. I’m now candid about my thoughts and feelings, aiming to capture every idea that crosses my mind. It’s no longer about producing neutral content. This transformation has been beneficial for me.

Last year, I took a three-month hiatus from writing, paralyzed by concerns over how others perceived my work and doubts about its quality. Now, I've learned to care less about those judgments. Perfection is unattainable; nobody can consistently produce flawless content. Even talented filmmakers like Christopher Nolan have their less successful films, so it’s only natural that not every article I write will resonate with everyone.
