If you’re a lover of Halloween, I wish you a fun and happy one. I hope you eat tons of candy and blow your diets!
October has been a pretty crazy time around Medium, huh? I’m already burned out on earnings and stats talk, and it’s only been a couple of days. I’m over it. Let’s just get on with this business of writing and enjoying it!
In the meantime, I came up with a brilliant new way to earn money through Medium stories, since claps are no longer a thing.
The Medium Clappery is No More
Speaking of money and ways to earn it, there is no shortage of opportunity if you put yourself out there. I’ve raked in a pile of extra cash over the last few months just by saying YES to whatever comes my way. And it’s been totally worth it, because who doesn’t want extra money?
Forget the Career, Just Take the Paycheck!
Lately, I’ve stopped focusing on curation and started focusing on writing meaningful stories for myself. Ideas pop into my head every single day and I write them as soon as they manifest.
Having said that, curation revisited me twice in the past week (to my surprise). Both were under my usual tags of SELF and RELATIONSHIPS. Even though I write a huge variety of topics, those are my two go-to’s.
Stand For Something or You’ll Fall for Anything
and
If You Were Given a Few Months to Live
Last but not least, here are my two freshest publishes. Both are on the lighter side of life because….humor! It’s my life. If I couldn’t laugh, I would die.
This first one you should read just because there’s an actual news clip of me in there, from back in my glory days.
Tindering Should be a Verb
And this next one, well it’s an abomination of the English language and will forever remain the dialect I think in.
It’s Not All About the F-Bomb
I found a really cute, nicely dressed man to guard my vault. I pay him once per newsletter, to stand there and look good.
He reached into my vault of older stories to pull out this one. It’s about how my face seems to need deliverance. Resting bitch face can be an ugly thing when you’re confronted with it unexpectedly. Apparently BEAUTY curators like oldish looking faces.
Why Am I Always So Surprised?
As usual, I’d like to thank you all for still being here and not rejecting my newsletters when they hit your inboxes. You’re all free to unsubscribe, but you haven’t, so I’m grateful.
We’re all in this writing journey together!
Happy Halloween……
