I would say emotional- I try not to stress about what others think because then it hurts more- it puts you in a sad mood because you aren't producing quality. But to keep going, I made sure I uploaded once a month, so I could keep that streak.

That was also true for me but not on Medium, I was also trying to write a fantasy book (not online, just drafting it at home) but due to me being very self-critical because I wanted it to be perfect, I found it very hard to write and felt unmotivated. I have put fantasy to the side for now and just focusing on Medium mostly.

The best thing to overcome that, I'd say it to write without looking back and until you have finished. Leave it for a while and then come back- because we can be very critical and think our writing is very bad. But sometimes when you come back to look at it, you are impressed that you wrote it.

You are honestly a great writer- believe in yourself!

That sounds like some great ideas- excited to see them but no pressure at all. Do what you love, passionate about and interested in.

Indeed! Evet, you can say anything that praises Allah, here are some:

The weather is rainy and cold- I'm glad haha. What about in your country?

Bless you, thank you!
