Congrats, You're a Top Writer
My double Top Writer badges in July 2021
Success comes in different forms
Whenever I see someone quit here, I wish I can tell them — stay.
But we all have our journey. So maybe to some, Medium isn't their platform, and that is ok, as long as you continue with your journey as a writer.
To those who are starting — I hope you take inspiration.
Just like you — I started with one story.
Today, I am on my way to finishing my first writing challenge. It is a daunting task to finish 100 stories in 10 days, but hey, I'm on my 8th day.
At first, none of the big publications accepted my stories, but today, I am published in the biggest publications.
None of my stories got curated, but now they are.
“If money doesn’t come yet and believe me it will, these can incentivize good writing:”
This month of July, I got two Top Writer Badges — Music and Privacy.
If you haven’t received a Top Writer Badge — Medium sends you this email.

Conclusion
Some topics still have “spots” for the 50 Top writers, and J.J. Pryor wrote about it.
I leave you with these words I wrote from last year:
Failure comes when we value our success in gold. Writing offers us more. The words we write are gifts from God.
They have the power to influence and inspire, and that alone is our writer’s success.
