No joy in writing anymore

I have started to feel I've lost the spark of writing these daily posts. There doesn't seem to be any purpose beyond just keeping the streak alive with them. It's not that I couldn't still write daily. I've done it without a miss for a long while already even though I haven't cared about the streak that much. It just happens, the power of habits.

I just don't find the joy in it anymore. I originally started writing these just to get better at writing, and get rid of the blank page syndrome. I think I'm good enough writer already. And even if I still would want to become better at it, this might not be the best way to improve any further.

In a way I could even say I'm addicted to these writing sessions. The streak has become an obsession. Even if I already a while ago said I stop caring about the streak and if I don't write some day it wouldn't be a big deal to me. Yet I have still consistently kept writing. Even in times when it has been inconvenient. Even when I don't have anything to write.

It just doesn't happen without conscious decision to actually quit. I'm not yet ready for that. I need to give it some more time to make the final decision.
