Good to see such honest post.
You did not miss anything. From to to time we need a break otherwise we will burn out as I burnt out many times during my life cause I did not had a break.
If you would like to write every day, then just write half of an article and do not post it yet. In my opinion it is better to give a few days to mature your article as you can have new ideas with which you can make it even better.
As I am writing longer articles I usually write multiple ones at the same time so I am switching between them regularly, always doing the one whuch gives me more joy.
