Yes, I know. It probably isn't worth it from a monetary point of view, but I used to spend time on Twitter for free. I need a social scene somewhere. I don't have one in real life.

As for the hours, I still struggle to get enough work, so I can't assume that if I took time off here I'd be spending it earning more for magazines. I probably wouldn't.

But I will be spending less time working when my husband retires, so I'll need to make sure I don't prioritise Medium over other stuff then.

Good points though. I took a break last month and did wonder about the wisdom of signing up again. I just don't want to ditch it.
