Crafting titles is hard work — but we can make it easier.
Last week, someone emailed me, upset and wondering why I hadn’t been writing as many posts as I did before in the past.
It sounds gross, but it’s true.

I am not sure when it will stop, maybe months, maybe years, maybe never. So you know how in most cities they have these things called alleys? Alleys are where you pull into the garage. Alleys are for cats, junkies and old recliners. Alleys are where you put out your garbage for the garbage man to pick-up and if you…

I agree with all of your insight about mailing lists. I mean, I’ve seen people have success with them but when I think about what that means for me their success is based on what success means for them.

If you’re a writer, what do you say? While going through a box of junk and stuff I found these two short answers to this question people ask from time to time.
Kay,
I love this. Not that you had to do it but that you have written about it. Since I am Canadian I was happily going to high school during that time — with mostly white kids but we did have one black. I never thought much about it. in university things changed — more of a mixture in downtown Toronto. But I never saw…

Funny how we’re judged so much on things. Race, size, marital status, gender, religion, career, good teeth, kids, no kids, level of education.. oh the list could go on. I have felt intimidated in the past in any setting where I haven’t measured up. That was until I realised that none of those things defined me.

I want to start writing in Medium more often. Going against my fear of judgement.

Truncated stories do not have the luxury of expressing the entire situation, while the characters fumble with the lessened enthusiasm of emotions. From here, starts a struggle between the legitimate aspirations to speak with freedom.

Hi, Rachel Wayne, every writer has to make their own decision, but personally, I don’t feel a writer should ever work for “exposure.” This is they way I look at it — if the platform can’t pay writers because they are new or under trafficked, the exposure you get will be non-existent. And if the site is well-known enough to make the exposure worth…

I have always been a practitioner, proponent, and big proponent of the Oxford Comma. A list of more than two objects without a comma preceding the last feels cumbersome and disorienting, even juvenile. While grammatically correct, sure, the exclusion of the Oxford Comma throws the delicate symmetry…
Gosh, Iva Ursano nailed mine on the head, too. If writing is not about making the world better at least in large part, then I would rather have nothing to do with it. That be me.

I know that feeling when you finish an article and can’t be bothered with the headline. Sometimes it’s good to let it rest for a day and think about the headline then. I know it always feels urgent to publish, but we have the luxury that no one is waiting for our articles so we can take our time.
Eye opening article Frank. Thanks for sharing with us. I try to teach people a variety of different things through my writing. My mission is to help people find answers to their questions, and encourage them to keep going.
