You Wrote, You Published…

And it was read…

(Screen Capture by the author)

I’ve learned immediate recognition isn’t likely for a new writer on Medium.

If you’re starting from scratch on this platform, you need to decide your goals here.

Patience is required.

Instant readership is not a reasonable expectation unless you bring a boatload of followers with you when you join.

You wrote, you published, and it was read. That by itself is an excellent accomplishment for new writers.

That’s what you’re here for, right?

Don’t get wrapped up in the stats if you are here to write. It can be quite a distraction. Step away from the numbers and focus on your real mission, writing. Quality writing!

All those stories about stats and money made seem to attract a lot of attention. But what are they? They are content articles written to attract attention.

What are you here for? Numbers or creative writing?

Just write!
