Abstract

re Illumination, I would send my articles to big publications and wait for days, sometimes a week or longer. Some of my articles were not even opened by editors. Many times, I got impatient, canceled the submission, and self-published. I write for readers to read and I want my message out there as soon as possible. This motivates me to write.</p><figure id="dadf"><img src="https://cdn-images-1.readmedium.com/v2/resize:fit:800/1*HE4G7_4O4-X1l7efjSBwvw.png"><figcaption></figcaption></figure><p id="f85a">I did not have any expectations about Illumination.

Thank you, Illumination: My First Story with Over 1.1k Claps

Illumination is a recent publication on Medium, to be precise it is only 2 weeks old.

Chris Hedges 🦄 invited me to join the publication, and I am glad I did. Chris is an amazing writer because, through her articles, I feel her soul and heart talking to me and that I call a gift.

I am an aspiring writer who has been writing for the Medium Platform for only 3 months, but as of this month; I decided to write and publish every day. Before Illumination, I would send my articles to big publications and wait for days, sometimes a week or longer. Some of my articles were not even opened by editors. Many times, I got impatient, canceled the submission, and self-published. I write for readers to read and I want my message out there as soon as possible. This motivates me to write.

I did not have any expectations about Illumination. So, I went with the flow. Last week I published my story about How I Survived Malaria and Swine Flu which was curated by the Medium Writers Program under the topic: HEALTH. And here are the stats:

I had curated articles before, but I never had this kind of success. Thanks to Illumination and the hard work of Dr Mehmet Yildiz promoting writers daily on Medium through articles and social media, I have accomplished so much more than I expected.
