A Penny For Your Thoughts:
How about two?

I’ve only been writing on Medium for about one week now, so I’m learning the basics of the system as I go. I was so proud of myself for taking risks in adding images to my writing and figuring out the highlighting feature; how fun!
I was also very pleased with all the claps I was giving various writers. And then, I stumbled across an article by Linda Cogwell about clapping 50 times that rocked my world; you can check it out here: Medium Readers & Writers — Why Not Clap 50 Times?
I was inspired by this article and my clapping and commenting game has been elevated ever since.
Did you know that as a reader, you can clap up to 50 times? What strange magical affirmation is this? I also noticed that one of my articles that received 50 claps by a single reader also earned me $0.02 in cold, hard cash (ahem, pennies).
As I reflect, write, and “Find my Niche” as so many recommend, I also try to graciously clap for other writers, especially new writers like myself.
After all, we as readers are not limited to a certain number of claps per day. We are not charged for clapping so why not clap graciously and with gusto? Why not give a penny (or two) to others for their thoughts?
