My Medium Journey Hasn’t Gone The Way I Thought it Would
What a delightful surprise it’s been
I’m not gonna lie. My Medium journey began with the notion of making some righteous cash through writing.
Yeah, I’m still laughing about that too.
It all started when I began blogging under my real name a few years ago on another platform. I received some encouraging feedback on my stories but the platform was clunky and hard to navigate. So I decided to look for another venue. In my Google search, Medium popped up first.
I felt a strong nudge to find out more so I took a peek. When I discovered I could earn some cash, I was intrigued.
It sounded promising so I decided to hop on board.
I began setting up an account under my real name then I paused. I’d been feeling the urge to write about parts of my life I wasn’t comfortable diving into on my other blog — personal touchy subject stories I felt compelled to share but didn’t want my parents and a few other people in my life to read and know about me.
I contemplated my options. What if I wrote under a pen name? That way I could share some of my personal stories and maybe help someone going through a similar experience. And if I could earn a few bucks doing so as well?
