I totally agree with this. I usually do finance-related posts since it is my niche, just like what you did in your travel posts back then.

Though I have gained loyal readers, sometimes I think my posts have turned into boring blogs. Just thinking about it makes me tired of writing, but just like what you suggested, I tried a different approach while incorporating a touch of humor in my posts.

Guess what I find out? not only did it get much attention from my readers, it also made me more driven to write for more because why not? I really find it enjoyable.

So yeah, we must not just innovate for the sake of others, but we must also innovate for ourselves. Sticking to the old ways can somehow lessen the excitement while expressing the same line of thoughts -- all the time.
