Continuing to post weekly is definitely a challenge, and takes a lot of work. I applaud you for doing so. I would suggest that if you are having trouble getting out what you really want to say in a post, just providing something short, just a handful of paragraphs even if it's not as poignant or deep, is better than nothing at all. You are human and not a machine, so don't feel like every post has to be the best you can do. I don't mean slack off and get lazy, but don't feel like you have to always give us all you have and then feel drained by what it takes out of you. Those of us following you understand.
As an aspiring writer myself (I write a lot, just not a lot sees the light of day, though my posts on Quora are fairly plentiful), I totally get how hard it can be. But you've got people following you who get it, and we won't give up on you.
You do a great job Jeff! We know you spend so much time on your articles. You enjoy the holidays! Can't wait to see you guys!
Thanks, Judy! See you soon.
