Let’s begin the story from the beginning. On 29th May, 2022 I joined Medium. Posted two articles back to back, they weren’t even good enough to get interpreted. Then took time and posted a crime-thriller story cum one-act play(I know this sounds as weird as it is in reading) this was a failure too.

Felt a little down. Thought to do something different published my own poems, written in my school days. There started gaining some views, reads, applauds and follows. I kept posting on poems until thought of making transition again to short-form articles. Cause, this time I won’t be starting from scratch but, starting from experience. I kept an account of my previous errs in short-form articles and replaced it with improvements and style which overall provided quality to my writing, picked out catchy images, outlined the story first and geared up. It’s entitled Horror poem works. Here’s my story… on Medium posted on 25th June. Below is the stat while 1k claps was achieved on 6th of June.

Don’t write for your own, write for the readers. Write what they want to read, what will keep them interesting to read all along?, what value they will gain reading your posts. Write for them to see the fruitful results. My post was about the methodology I follow to write Horror poems because readers love horror poems, if you do then check-out my poems as well. I provided them the valuable ideas, tactics to write what they love to read thus I was rewarded with 1k claps in return. So, genuinely Thank to them a lot, if you still have questions what’s interesting in the post to get answers, Click here to read.

I’m signing off stating Eat, Write, Sleep, Repeat.
