One More GIANT Shout Out to the Writers I Love and Adore!
Did you catch these former stories about 100’s of awesome Medium Writers?
Well Medium family, another year is about to hit the dust, and 2023 is just up ahead.
That to me, says it’s time to recognize some awesome Medium writers who have made my journey here worthwhile.
As I thought about all the fun and interesting writers I’ve encountered over the past 19 months, I decided to do one final shout out to as many as I possibly could.
I’ve promoted so many of my favorite writers on Medium already, so I had lots of stories to refer to when I went back to capture some oldies but goodies.
Below is an extensive thank you and goodbye list, as my way of saying so long to 2022.
Expect to see some of the more well-known writers in the stories listed here, like Abena Talks, Susan Wheelock, Sherry McGuinn, David Perlmutter, and a host of others, too many to cite.
But I am now, and always have been, an equal opportunity story promoter. So in truth, there’s no telling who you’re subject to come across.
Just don’t be surprised to read about some of the “usual suspects” and more.
Here’s hoping that everyone I remembered to mention has a wonderful New Year, as we all say farewell to the old one.
For those followers I may have missed — APOLOGIES
To those who may be contemplating leaving the community for a while; if you go, please don’t go too far. That way, you can always find your way back.
We all understand the challenges and pressures that writing online can create. And we respect all choices about our individual paths.
And as for those of us who remain and continue the fight; let us hope that the best of Medium is yet to come.
Though we’re all smart and talented writers and familiar with the obstacles along the way, we can still be in need of the kind of encouragement that is found in the following story: “Don’t Worry Just WRITE!”
Promoting the writers I enjoy with zeal
Every single one of the following 10 stories provide a mention, a wink, and a nod; as a shout out to MULTIPLE writers.
There are names and stories of over 250 writers or more, and all of them have at least one story to tell:
Final Thoughts
Just in case you need a little something else to read when you need some extra validation about being a writer, here’s a bonus story.
As you can see, it lists 50 additional writers who share stories about imposter syndrome.
That’s one you want to remember to BOOKMARK!
Well, that should bring the total to at least Three HUNDRED or more writers that I’ve given a mention to once again (even though many names are mentioned more than once).
In fact, the tenth story cited above actually contained so many writers, that I chose to drop a few of their names here, to kind of whet your appetite to see more.
At one time, the following names received an extra vote of appreciation, so be sure to visit and get to know who these awesome members are.
A special mention goes to Sally Prag for your kind words (Thanks girl. I don’t know who else to be, everyone else is taken 😄 Amanda Stacks | Janice Eastman | Thanks Cee Arr — I like your attitude | Hey Maria Rattray I don’t know if those are the only two possible reasons. Stop doubting yourself girl and blame it on the algorithm like the rest of us 😄 Deb Fiore and Siobhan Champion | KL Simmons | Marcie Wilmot | Silvia Wild | Hey Neera Handa Dr — Don’t worry, we’re ALL just small fries in this Medium bag of writers 😄 Melinda Van Fleet — Thanks for pointing out the tips that you enjoyed. You’re right also, about the story doing well, and it’s all because of followers like you 😄 Hey Shemaine Lozano Hernandez — Your name is similar to my first name (my birth name). You have a lot of courage for stepping out on faith like that, now you have to own it girl! Just write, write, and write some more. You got this! 😄 Alvin Tan — That’s an interesting idea Alvin, but I don’t know how readers would feel about ads on the site. | Thank you Brittney A Baron and Chris Freyler because you appreciate the honest way I tried to assess my journey, instead of glossing everything over. Sometimes readers just like to have their ears tickled, and not get the truth. 😄
As always, thanks for following, but even more, thanks for READING!
