It’s such a playful screenplay and the movie mix of more than just one or two genres. And even it exceeds all of them.

The big publications on Medium exploit vulnerable people, prostituting their life stories for money.

I agree with you that a portfolio site is not necessary. I’m a full-time writer and editor and I get so many new or aspiring writers asking me what they should use for a portfolio, but they DON’T NEED ONE. If you have a blog or published articles, or even just unpublished writing samples, you’re good. Prospective clients really don’t care about a…

August 2018 — A New Life Starts Now.
Stuff for August I am working on: Mindset, achieving goals, writing more, develop better focus, help more people and so on. I want writing to be my vehicle for this. One of my main goals is to write more. I recently bought a year’s subscription to Medium because I enjoy people’s writing…

While I don’t disagree with men having the opportunities to write longer fiction, Jessica, keep in mind, men, like Hemingway, Bukowski and Carver (not to mention Twain) were at the forefront of the trimmed down, essential writings that most of us follow today.

We’re not all newspaper editors here. We don’t make a living by coming up with catchy attention-grabbing click-bait titles to our stories.
Awesome post, John.
I agree with your point about social media but it’s part of a much bigger, base phenomenon. Behavioral economics tells us that once our basic needs are met, an increase in income doesn’t make us happier and actually leads to growing discontent. This means that there are literal diminishing returns on…

We are always told the great stories of when the champion overcomes devastation, slays the mythical dragon, ‘gets the girl’ but not the tasks or events that transpire before the come up.

First off, have a good reason to write your Vibe story. Don’t do it simply for the sake of having content published. The worst thing is an article that says nothing.
I second Jodi Tandet’s observation. I typically only see your work in my “new from your network” section. But today, I saw your “Unsplash heroes” post in Humor on my home screen. The same with Jeff Barton. One of his locked pieces was posted under Writing.

truthfully saying, i don’t really know what truly defines happiness,
is it good books, cool movies, or tasty foods?
is it a memory, is it human?
is it affection, is it someone’s smile?

Usually only two kinds of people acknowledge the importance of microcopy: the end user and we writers. Users acknowledge it through their actions, when they move to the next stage of an experience, without realizing the importance of the words that convinced them to do so. And we writers…well, let me not tread on that path. We’ve been there, haven’t we?
Thanks for sharing this, Kinneret!

She wraps me up in her Cocoon — loving fluids fuel my fire. I’m warm in her aura; hazel kisses placate me. This feels right.
This feels safe.
One. It’s extremely relaxing.
Two. It’s a ritual.
Three. Your muscles get scrubbed.
Four. Water is warm.
This is hard. I can’t imagine how hard it must be to feel this way.
I don’t have a story or anecdote to help. I’m sure you don’t need a pity party either.
But if you ever need to talk or vent or anything like that, if there’s a way I can help, please, I’m here.
I have learned to scribble notes into my phone or, if that isn’t possible, onto whatever paper scraps are handy. Usually I’m in a rush.

Frank, first off thanks for this writing. It is profound and very helpful. Think you are doing some stellar work truly. It got me to think and take a look at my own life and what more can you ask for truly as a writer as we write for ourselves and each other. I had a thought come up first I was like yes, nice let me try that, give what I want to get…
I wrote a similar piece as yours recently, went through the established agent/top tier rejection rigamorale. Moral of the story: Medium is evolving quickly and how longform content is consumed (compensated) as well. It takes exactly as long to get published as it does to have something worthwhile to publish.
Diolch yn fawr am y sylw Russ. Massively agree with this. I suppose I was making a point around context with brain surgery, but you’re completely right about the broader experience — I would want a co-productive rehab, and to be honest I can’t even begin to understand what a holistic rehab would look like without that element.
And how!Wonderful stuff, Ryan… I agree: bookstores are magical places that have touched all of our lives in some way. 💙

I know that Medium has some kind of magic algorithm that determines whether or not a story is featured and is seen by few or by many. But that doesn’t matter if you’re only writing for yourself and not for others. Then — in theory — it doesn’t matter how many people read and interact with your story.
What about those that struggle with recognizing the need for environmental change? For example, you shared that you spend a lot of time watching tv. What motivated your change? I know you mentioned your wife, but did you see a need to change?

My first job in the late 60’s was as a shorthand-typist, way before we even had electric typewriters, so for me, a little notebook makes more sense :)

How is your writing?
