What do you like the most?

Will you please help me choose my next topic, I really need your help!

I am at crossroads of sorts, help me please!

If you are reading this, you should know that I am very grateful for your readership. I could write better than Shakespeare, and it wouldn’t matter unless some one read actually read it. I wouldn’t exist as a writer without you!

OK, now all the ass-kissing is done, I need your help (I do mean it about the gratefulness, though)!

I have been trying to figure what you, my dear reader, want to read about. I have been typing a shitload of stuff and keep wondering what interests you. So rather than me trying to read your mind and typing up big stuff (& inflating my ego in the process), I will give you a list and ask you to choose what might catch your interest.

Rules are simple:

1 — If you do not have a clear choice, just Clap, and I will decide what I write about next.

2- Comment if there is a specific topic (or more than one) that interests you. (Claps are still valuable though)

3- That’s it. Only 2 rules!

Here is my list:

1- Can we f**k**g close the Zoo please: I hate to see animals inside a cage — Done

2- Expectations from the next Matrix movie: I’m a huge fan but would like a few things fixed in the next version — Done

3- Why Christmas is a really smart idea — for businesses: How a religious festival has become a blockbuster sales season.

4- How to not waste time on Medium.

5- 1 Month — 480 followers, 16 articles later: I hope no one wants this, but..

6- Winter in Iceland & 9 days in a car: Based on a road trip experience in the peak of Icelandic winter — In Progress, read part 1 & 2

7- Writers’ block — what the hell is that

8- How I didn’t go Viral, but still happy — Done

9- Important books I’ve read this year — In Progress — PART 1: SAPIENS/FUTURE WE CHOOSE & PART 2 — THINKING, FAST And SLOW

10- That’s weird; how did that happen: Just a series of random crazy things

Disclaimer: The titles may undergo some revision. I have a long list of draft titles, but these are the ones I would like to pick next, and I need your help!

Yours sincerely!
