And then there are perfectly brilliant writers like Shannon Ashley who contracts a horrible disease requiring multiple surgeries. She's still writing because she loves it, but she is also a single mother. She simply can't publish an article a day these days. I, myself, got a cancer diagnosis a couple of weeks ago. Since then it's been nothing but doctor appointments, tests and labs, and trying to keep in touch with all of the people in my life who give a shit about me. Should you publish daily? It all has to do with your perspective. This is not a competition. We on Medium have a common purpose. But I'll be doing a lot more reading than writing in the coming weeks. I should have a ton of material on the reality of disease and aging by the time this is over. If it gets over.
