Apparently, I couldn’t stay away for very long. Only a few short days have gone by since I last published something on Medium. It’s not as if I really have much to say. The last few days have been relaxing and my brain is starting to feel like it can function normally instead of constantly running on overdrive.

And article I read the other day by Will Hull sparked my interest and here we are. To be fair, quite a few of his articles get my writing senses thinking, but this one in particular captured my attention. He wrote a piece called Self-Publishing: Self Sabotage or ‘Relational’ Inspiration?

I agree with a lot of what he says in the article, including how the phone app functions, or doesn’t, sometimes things just happen, and the recent shift away from publications on Medium by Medium.

When I started writing here back in March, I was not associated with any publications, nor did I have a plethora of followers. I self-published a handful of pieces and waited with anticipation for people to read. My views and reads were less than spectacular, and I got frustrated quickly. In the meantime, I went on a reading spree myself. I was all sorts of articles and following the people that I enjoyed reading.
