1: “Experience”
I first learned of the thinker Walter Benjamin in a class on Japanese Film and Literature in 2014. Since then, his ideas and writing have fascinated me for their ability to make me think and the elusiveness, yet simultaneous precision and clarity, of his conclusions. I have only read a small portion of his…

Thanks for your feedback. We always appreciate hearing your point of view, and holding us to our commitment to all of our writers and readers.

If you could have, do, or be anything you want, what would it be?
Often initial answers center around things we want to have. “I want a Lamborghini,” “I want to be a millionaire,” or “I’d like to buy a house,” are common responses.

Big fan of the short story as well. Both reading and writing them. One could say with the spread of fake news, the short story has come of age, has been weaponized beyond any one writer’s dreams.
That’s why I like Borges. In a way his stories anticipated these shorts.
I have mostly stopped referring people back to the post. I used to do that, to defend my original position, but it struck me that if I have to quote myself to “remake my point,” the person who left the comment didn’t really read the post, or at least didn’t read it closely before launching into their comment. If an objection they raise is clearly…

People clamor about equality very often nowadays, but I believe that despite the fact that a lot of people understand that equality when it comes to things like appearance or talent is just not possible.

Hell, I’m feeling it and I’ve barely been writing here 6 months. I just haven’t found a better place to go yet.
I clapped a full 50 here because people need to see this. I came here to read and build, but the only people seeing my work are the people I already know.
So I submitted one of my old short stories to Lit Up. If they accept and publish it, I will link it here.

Well, I’d sure like to see how that works for you. The thing I’ve noticed is not that I would see a drop in overall views, I still have quite a lot of those (about 15,000 per month), but the newest post are getting nowhere, they are all below 100 views in August, which is disheartening indeed…

I’ve not been writing much on Medium since April, due to a case of Stuff Happening so can’t comment on recent viewing trends for my stories. However, as a reader, I’ve found it increasingly difficult to find the stories I…

For starters, I read something online that my first story here should be about myself and why I started this blog. I guess I don’t have a specific reason or passion for writing. I think Writing is the one having passion for me. It urges me to write and tell the words on my mind. Writing opens its arms to me and invites me to pour it all into words. I…
Iva,
The only problem is the algorithms. Yup those things. I know that Medium looks at how you clap — and somehow they degrade your “clapping” if you clap all the same thing all the time.
I have been trying to feel my way through this. If I want to support a writer I give usually at least 10 claps (I…

Never had a teacher. I had a voice. It filled my head. You can’t step into the same river twice. The voice moved my hands. You can’t read a story twice and have the same experience.

I’m going to try just writing without a topic again here. I’m not sure if this is because I don’t want this published, even though no-one reads my Medium, or because I’m being lazy in coming up with things to write about.

I love what reading does for my life — not just for my writing. And I do think it teaches you to relate to others personally…or other cultures…or just to take on someone else’s perspective.

Magnificently colorful imagery there, and I appreciate the public forum here.
I don’t know how the first seven months writing works for others, but I got a quick burst of a follower a night in the first 3 and a slow trickle since.
I doubt submitting to a publication could do much worse, but who’s to say.
I’ve come to realize that I’m just catering my writings to the vlogs I do every day. I don’t want to do that anymore. I want to write about the day sure, but I want it to be just my brain spitting stuff out and hoping it looks good written down.

Hi Ethan, thanks for following me. I’ve returned the favor. Best wishes for your writing success.
As always, content, conviction, and consistency are king.
Better a single good match than twelve bad ones.
Lauren,
What a wonderful post! Such a sense of humour. I laugh because I can’t remember much about Blogger — (I have done guest posts through it.) And Wordpress after 10 years has become easy. But I agree that all the nonsense that is in it just isn’t worth the time.
As I was assertively self-bullying this morning, I eventually worked my way around to realizing that I have within me all the tools and tricks and words and phrases to be the creative person I so want to see myself as being. If you want to read the sorry drivel, it’s here. Thank you for all this. Beautifully done, Dennett.
