‘MuddyUM: We Are Making M*dium Fun Again.’

The MAD MAGAZINE of M*dium?

Last month on a whim I had the fun idea along with fellow wild trailblazin’ writers Susan Brearley and Gregory Prince to start this fun satirical pub MuddyUm. We thought a MAD MAGAZINE type of publication here on MuddyUm was a great idea.

I didn’t know it would take off like WILDFIIIIRE! WOOHOO. Thanks to Susan for her tireless efforts!

I’m so excited about how it’s grown in just a short time.

I’m lovin’ being in the company of my fellow wild n crazy word lovin’ people.

I just feel thankful today for this group. We are not taking MuddyUm too seriously, which is sooo refreshing and is a welcome change in my opinion. The world is too damn serious as it is. We don’t need to take our writing that serious? NO NO!! I’ve said before,

“We’re not tryin’ to win a Pulitzer prize here on Muddyum!” Well, at least I’m not.

I think this community is ROCKIN’ it so far.

I just want to thank all the MuddyUm writers who have come aboard. I appreciate you all keepin’ it fun, happy and joyful.

Isn't that what writing should be? A joy?

I just got a few comments through Messenger about this group. I thought I’d share them with you all. Happy writing everyone!

“I started writing this week for the MuddyUm publication! I have had M*dium tedium for about a year. Decided to actually find “my people” instead of the “I made a gazillion dollars on MuddyUm” articles I kept getting. I’ve finally found some awesome writers who are fun and don’t take themselves or the MuddyUm platform so seriously! I’m so glad for MuddyUm.” — Happy MuddyUm writer

“It’s the best medicine filled with real people!” — Elated MuddyUm member

‘I was ready to say goodbye to MuddyUm until I found you guys on the MuddyUm publication this week. For me, it’s the connections I make! Wouldn’t be having this conversation with you otherwise!” — Used to be disgruntled MuddyUm writer

“I LOVE MUDDYUM. WHAT FUN THIS IS. I love this idea!!” — Alfred E. Neuman

I get the frustration with Medium It’s starting to border on tedium If it weren’t for MuddyUp, I might give just up Or go have a suck on some helium by Marilyn Flower

Here are a few bonus limericks for ya:

THAT’S THAT

Please don’t fret over MuddyUm stats Or your writing might go totally flat Just stay in your lane Or you might go insane If you’re a writer, just write — and that’s THAT!

JUST WRITE YOUR TRUTH

Why fuss about MuddyUm Curation? To some it’s a real frustration Just write down your truth Don’t be a MuddyUm sleuth You might feel better with newfound creation!
