The Secrets of Writing for ‘Illumination’: Daring and Sharing!

The tribe of ‘Illumination’ helps all writers to be active and successful. My Medium experience becomes better and better…

When Dr Mehmet Yildiz asked me to become part of his new publication ‘Illumination’, I never thought I’d learn so much in so little time. I just felt a little flattered that my articles stood out on ‘Age of Awareness’ where he spotted my work.

My adventures as a Medium writer started less than a year ago. And although I publish often and have gained more than 1,000 followers, I don’t consider myself one of the mighty few. One of the arrived writers. I’m a novice.

The keywords for ‘Illumination’ are Diversity, Synergy, Fusion, Serendipity and we’re a community. A diverse bunch of writers and editors who inspire each other and share their success. We highlight each others’ work, we put the spotlight on our own stories, and we use social media to the max.

It’s been only a few weeks now. And the secrets work. Daring and sharing! I have so much pleasure reading the most wonderful articles from my mates in the community. And I dare to share my work and not be shy about it.

I react, clap, highlight and have great exchanges. They inspire me. And I really hope that in the future I can be collaborating with some of them. Synergizing. Creating together. Combining strengths to produce the most invigorating content.

Some of the stories and writers who inspired me already:

1 Shin Jie Yong is a wise, old soul in a young writer’s body. I love his insights and expertise in microbiology and neuroscience. Also, check his work on ‘Microbial Instincts’.

2 Michele Thill is describing herself as ‘from homemaker to business owner’. And I relate to her journey into stillness. From doing into being…

3 Sylvia Love Johnson is an inspiring writer to me. “When I let go, I get guidance.” Well, sometimes it feels like that for me too. Although at the moment the ‘letting go’ is a challenging work in progress…

4 Salam Khan is a Haiku writer, just like me. The difference is, he publishes them. And inspires me big time…

5 Eliot Kersgaard writes true words about shame and growth and being human. “The journey of growth, love, and peace carries a unique shame. Shame of all the love I could have given, but didn’t.” I love the painting made by his partner Summer as well!

And these are only five of them. I didn’t mention yet the stories of Chris Hedges 🦄, Tom Byers, Gurpreet Dhariwal, Chrissie Morris Brady Ph.D., Margie Peterson, Paul Myers MBA, Nicole Linke, Mike Alexander, Tim Maudlin, Aileen Shiue Belitz, Isak Dinesen, Joe Luca, Catherine Delia, Joi Lake, Domagoj Vidovic, Julia E Hubbel, Impact Aisha, Dipti Pande, Eliel Cruz, Mary Holden, Nicole Dyer, Lori Brown, Kathryn A. LeRoy, Ph.D., Trista Ainsworth, Daniella Mini, Marlane Ainsworth, iWrite!, Annelise Lords, Henery X (long) and the so many others who have not been discovered by my radar yet.

Here are the writers on Illumination who already wrote their introductions.

Welcome to our tribe! Happy daring and sharing!
