To my beloved followers,
I’ve had a Medium account for over a year now; however, I didn’t become a paying member until January of 2023. It was a slow and long process at first, as I wasn’t familiar with the platform. With a bit of coaching, I learned how to clap, respond, and follow others. I also learned how to earn my own followers.
Today when I logged into my account, I saw that I now have 500 followers! To say I was excited is an understatement! I am thrilled.
While I am present on other platforms, I’ve grown to love Medium as my main platform. I have learned about Publications. I have learned that I fall into a variety of niches for my own personal writing.
I’ve shared some of my ups and downs. I’ve also managed to publish two of my books that have sat on a back burner for months. I’ll link my books at the bottom of this article. I also have several more books in the works. I’m finally excited to share what I write.
I used to hesitate to share my writing. I was worried about what others thought. I’ve learned that we all come from a different angle. What works well for one of us doesn’t necessarily work well for another person.
I’ve learned to share my writing without hesitation. I’ve learned that even though we all come from different walks of life, we’re all in this together. We’re all writing something that we’re passionate about.
In the beginning, I wrote without much thought. I shared stories I’d written elsewhere. I’ve learned to fine-tune my writing and improve it.
I want to take a moment and thank everyone that has believed in me, even when I didn’t necessarily believe in myself.
Some of you know me personally and know my story. Others only know what you’ve seen on my Profile Page.
Medium has opened up a new world for me to explore! I am enjoying what I’m learning. I enjoy being a part of a group. I’m enjoying the publications I am a part of, but most of all, I’m enjoying the camaraderie that Medium has between writers who seem to genuinely care about one another vs. hate comments that I’ve received on other sites.
Thank you all for being a part of it, and I look forward to my next 500 followers!
