Hello and welcome to Inner Thoughts!

We are delighted you want to share your thoughts with us and our readers.

Inner Thoughts is a safe space for sharing whatever you want to share — perspectives, opinions, observations, epiphanies, 3 a.m. thoughts, positive vibrations. Whatever your heart, mind or fingers desire.

There are however some ‘rules’ and guidelines to follow, when sharing with us:

1. Topics we accept:

Anecdotes

Personal

Mindfulness

Curiosity

Wonderings

Passion

2. We publish both final drafts and published stories (not older than 1 month).

3. We accept stories behind Medium’s paywall.

4. Please respect the rules of Medium. No plagiarism, cite authors of used photos (if yours, you are the author), back up any facts with proof etc. You know the gist by now!

5. Proofread drafts/articles beforehand. Great free tools for this are Grammarly or Hemingway Editor.

6. We reserve the right to edit written content and photography, if we find it necessary.

Since you are still reading this, it must mean you really want to share with us — and we are thrilled! All you have to do is respond to this post to be added. After, it’s up to you! Write whatever you feel like writing and submit your drafts to this publication (hint: use three dots in the upper right corner). Stories usually get accepted within 3 days.

Looking forward to discovering your thoughts!
