No. š¤£
I let it pass. I've been here for a while and in my experience, when negativity comes, it pours. It's not the best time to think. I stick to things I can do easily.
After, I usually circle back to what works for me. Effort vs. reward, pubs that I have a friendly relationship with, pieces that have received good responses, and so on. 'Niche' is not for me - I'd die if all the words in my head didn't leave.
It sucks to not be in control. But it is what it is.
Not sure if this helps, at all. I hope you find a solution.
