I hope that my membership makes many good writers happy and gives the chance to many readers to get access to stories of other writers through my Medium Friend link. In general over the last nearly 10 years on this platform, I have only cared about one thing: writing about stuff that matters to me. Not to others. To me. Sounds counterintuitive perhaps, but it’s what keeps me growing as a writer and keeps people reading. If writers get discouraged because of loss of revenue, I would suggest they dig deeper and start writing about the stuff they have experience and expertise in, the stuff they cannot shut up about and what to share with the world. Perhaps this “recipe” isn’t universal but it’s well worth a try. 😊
