I Just Became A Friend Of Medium
I’m grateful for the platform, the readers, and YOU
Just over a year ago a friend of mine suggested that I start writing on Medium. He had read a few of my blog posts and Facebook scribbles and encouraged me to expand on them.
To say that I am grateful for that serendipitous nudge is an understatement.
I had no idea where to begin or what I wanted to say — so I just kept writing. Looking back, that’s the best thing I could have done.
Just keep writing.
The part I was not expecting was how much I would learn from other writers.
From YOU.
In retrospect, I feel guilty that I got on Medium just to write down my thoughts — not to expose myself to new ones.
It’s crazy what can happen when you open your eyes and ears. You accidentally learn a thing or two.
I look back on some of my first articles and they read like garbage, but that’s fine with me. I’ve done the same thing with my music for years, so I’m used to it.
It’s what all good artists and writers do — critique themselves.
Someday my current articles will be garbage as well. Maybe next week?
One can only hope…
