The Orange Journal is Now Accepting Short Form
Yes, it’s true! Send in your stories with no strict word count. Aim for 150 words, but I’m no short form police!
As many of you know, I poured hundreds of hours into recruiting new writers during the month of December in an honest effort to build the publication. I tried my very best to thoroughly review each submission that was sent in within the same day. Heck, I even tried to publish it within the same hour!
I was successful at that for a while. I was happy because I knew TOJ writers could trust me to be prompt. The waiting game is so annoying. I know, I have been there.
We all have our own writing plans and when we finish a piece, we just want to get it out into the sea of Medium as fast as humanly possible. Why? So we can start earning money from it asap, of course.
There’s a lot to take into consideration with the Medium algorithm, and it will forever be somewhat of an enigma to me (considering it as its own entity,) ever-changing right under our noses.
Many folks like to publish on specific days or at certain times, decided based on analyzing their personal statistics, failures, and successes.
