Good Vibes Club Writers Shine! (Issue 31)
Midweek Edition sharing Good Vibes Club stories from Sunday through Tuesday
What?
Our Writers Shine? But it’s only WEDNESDAY. Usually, these recaps pop up on Sunday.
Are we in a time warp?
Did the world change and someone forgot to tell me?
If any of those thoughts crossed your mind, yes, you are right. This is only Wednesday. Since Good Vibes Club started in January, I have always shared a recap of the prior week’s stories on Sundays. This issue, Issue #31, was slated for this coming Sunday.
But….we’ve been growing. Which is a good thing.
The last three issues all had from 38–42 stories in the weekly recap.
Again, that’s a good thing.
But…
My intent with sharing this weekly recap is that I hope to send a few extra reads to your excellent stories which you’ve submitted to Good Vibes Club.
By doing the weekly recap, in which I only share the stories from other Good Vibes Club writers, never including my own, is that I hope people stop on this page and scroll through the list.
Oh, LOOK! I read their stories, but I’ve missed that one.
Oh! THAT looks like a good story.
HEY! That sounds like something I need in my life right now.
HAHA! That’s looks funny! I’ll go pop over and take a gander. I could use a laugh today.
Hmmmmm — THIS looks interesting. I need to go see what they have to say about it.
Plus, I know that Medium with its unknown and often varying algorithm will often pop-up stories sometimes months later. So maybe a month or two from now, this recap will pop up in someone’s feed, and they’ll go take a look, and a story or two will capture their attention and they’ll be off to read, driving a few extra reads to your stories even months from now.
At least that is my intent by publishing these ‘Our Writers Shine’ recaps.
But as we’ve grown, the list of stories is now in the 38–42 stories range. I know, that’s still a TINY number compared to some of the bigger publications that see that many stories submitted in ONE DAY, but still for us, it’s a huge number. And I’m thinking that when a reader stops in to look, seeing that many stories come up at once may be overwhelming. It may take too long to scroll through the list, and I don’t want people to think that there’s so much here to go read, that they end up not reading ANY of the stories.
So, for the next few weeks, I’m going to publish an OUR WRITERS SHINE twice a week. On Wednesday it will be a recap of the stories published from Sunday through Tuesday.
On Sunday’s I’ll publish the next issue, which will be a recap of the stories published from Wednesday through Saturday.
If our stories drop back down in volume, I’ll go back to the weekly.
If they keep increasing…well, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
But I’ll try this for a bit and see if the story recaps are in a more manageable number so that we still end up sending more readers in your direction to catch some of the stories that they may have missed through the week.
Sending an extra shout out to all the Good Vibes Club writers for these special stories.
