What’s in it for you?
Why do you write? Why do you continue to grind it out here on Medium?
What’s in it for you?
I’ve been writing consistently on Medium since last May. I’m not in it for money, but rather I’m in it to be known, to share my truth because it liberates me, to connect with like-minded others because it feels less alone, to practice writing because I plan to write a book, to grow an audience and a brand because one day I’ll have a book to share with the world, and to continue to hone my skills and my trade and move closer towards my goal.
I’ve been traveling the last two weeks, reuniting with family abroad since the pandemic hit. As I maximized my days off-screen in togetherness with loved ones, immersing myself in the real world, I neglected my off-screen life (and Medium, and writing — as evidenced by my delayed response to submissions and light publishing below).
When I returned two days ago — I reflected on my reengagement with the platform/writing/editing.
What’s really in it for me?
