I am not the kind of writer the powers that be on Medium relate to. I’m not a techy or a lawyer, or a therapist. I have written professionally for 50 years and for some of the biggest publications on earth. I realize that not everyone appreciates every creative worker — and I’m okay with that.

After applying for boost powers with two outstanding publications for nearly a year, I am reconciled to the idea that the boost program doesn’t get me and that you do not thrive as a pub on Medium without that power.

I am so grateful and appreciative of the good people who have seen the value in reading Real Insight! I am delighted by the incredibly skilled writers who have contributed valuable stories. No hard feelings if you remove your stories and place them elsewhere.

Try E³ — Entertain Enlighten Empower — Medium or Pragmatic Wisdom — Medium or The Shortform — Medium among others. You’ll be well-treated and respected.
