HELLO BOOK COVER
HELLO EPIC
IT HAS BEEN some time since I have been able to hide away and write something. Today I managed to pull out a time breaking sword and carve out some time.
I was a devote creator on this wonderful website not too long ago. Maybe I highlighted too much. Maybe they felt that it was suspicious that I read some authors but not others.
If you write lists as a story, I’m not going to read your work. I enjoy stories.
There are some questions of who I am and my past with this particular industry.
I did some writing for other people and had contracts that said I couldn’t claim the work because that is the nature of that type. Without getting too much into it, you can draw on that.
I wanted to see a name on my stories that represented me. Napwarrior was born.
A writer friend knew I was out of the loop for a decade, and I was itching to climb back into battle. He recommended MEDIUM.

I did not know what I was doing. This was all new to me.
I wrote some stories and a few resonated. 📘Zahier Adams
Asked a question and kept me going. He pressed on, making me dedicate myself to a story that we both knew was going to be a fun little throwaway story.
Well, from the picture above, you can tell it didn’t get thrown away. It is the first novel in an epic.
One day I logged in and was greeted with this:
Our Trust and Safety team has identified your account as part of a network that is interacting with itself to falsely inflate earnings. This includes but is not limited to behaviors such as targeted, repetitive, and inauthentic engagement (claps, responses, highlights, etc.).
All of your stories have been unlocked, and you will no longer be able to earn on new stories.
Your Medium membership remains active, and you can still read Member-only content. If you wish to cancel your membership, you can do so at medium.com/me/settings, and per our Terms of Service, there are no refunds.
No further appeals will be accepted.
So we are clear, I have never received a dime from medium. All I wanted to do was read and write. If I did anything that broke these rules, it was unintentional.
Maybe I highlighted too much. Clearly, if I were in it for the money I would have left long ago, but here I am. So, what now, medium? How do I fix this?
If I was being fraudulent and were only here for money, I would have moved on months ago. I am determined to fix this.
You revoked me so long ago now. I am still here. Let’s work something out. I am no longer reading and highlighting at high volume. I am not part of any weird groups or anything you thought. Help me fix this. Please.
