Running My First Medium Curation Contest

And my stories are winning!

Yup, I’m running my own personal Medium curation contest… and guess what, my stories are winning! Well, DUH!

Here are the rules: 1) If my story was Medium Curated, it qualifies as an entry. 2) There are currently only three categories: Curated Fiction; Curated Non-Fiction; and Curated Other Topics.

Here’s how it stands today:

As one can see, my Curated Non-Fiction is ahead (six stories), followed by my Curated Fiction (two stories), and running tied for second place is my Curated Other Topics (two stories).

This seems very odd to me, as Medium is not the warmest towards Non-Fiction and Fiction writing compared to Other Topics. I have fifty-two stories published. They are almost equally numbered between the three categories.

Now, I could do all kinds of mathematical gyrations to statistically support whatever I want. However, my gut says the numbers reflect my comfort zone of writing. I love writing about my personal historical adventures and misadventures.

Then again, I as well love creative Fiction and am equally capable of creating all kinds of wild stories across umpteen genres. On the other hand, my Other Topics are primarily about writing and publishing. And here again, I enjoy teaching and sharing writing experiences.

Regardless of how I feel, so far my Non-Fiction Curated stories are ahead. We’ll have to see how the contest plays out over the long haul. It will be brutal.

Hey, maybe I’ll award the winner with a fabulous meal and a bottle of wine at my favorite restaurant.
