I feel like a jerk for being absent from my newsletter for so long. The last one I sent was August 30. I could use dog sitting as an excuse because this puppy has been kicking my ass. As I mentioned last week, during the first 24 hours of this gig, I just can’t with life anymore.
24 Hours Into a Dog-Sitting Gig.
The bed I’m sleeping in at the dog-home is breaking my back, the dog itself has no regard for a writers life. There’s no silence, there’s no me time. Three more days to go.
I’ve published so many articles since my last email that I don’t even know where to start. So I think I’ll start the recap with my highest earning story EVER! I had no idea what 2.3K claps could translate into, dollar wise. When last week’s earnings were released, I learned it translates into $34.00. Not bad for a rant, huh?
Medium is Boring AF Right Now.
It was what I was feeling at the time.
Moving on to my LONGEST wait for curation….going on 4 days now. It’s funny because articles I’ve written since this one have been processed, but not this one. It’s still hanging out in the queue.
How Much Do You Love Writing?
One thing can determine your answer.
Annnnnd….my dud of the month. I thought for sure it would do better based on the humor in the title, but alas…no one knows WTF will do well on Medium so we just keep writing.
Fostering Men Until They Find Their Forever Home.
I don’t think I have what it takes to be a real partner.
There’s one important thing I wanted to mention in this newsletter. In August, I was asked to start my own column in the Candour publication, which is a kick ass pub by the way. If you haven’t checked it out, you should.
It’s run by Nicole Bedford and she’s doing a fantastic job of growing it into a great landing place for writers of all types.
The column I’m writing is centered around women’s empowerment and while it’s a slow build, I’m committing myself to publishing in it once per week.
Drop in and check out the column called, Behind Every Woman.
That’s it for now, at least until I’m finished being ambushed daily by a 4-legged fur ball.
Have a fantastic rest of your week!
