If you sign up using my link, I’ll earn a ‘small’ commission.
Dear writers earning a small commission,
Yes, referred memberships are an exciting new feature of Medium. I, too, wish I had 100 referred members and made $227.00 of ‘passive’ income monthly.
The elusive and illusory passive income that would enable us to lie on a sunbed in Hawaii all day…
They’re spoiling the joy of creation
When we started writing, we did it for ourselves. We enjoyed the process. We liked playing with words and ideas. We danced with them; we made them twist and shine.
Then we started publishing online for many reasons. Each of us has a different one.
- We thought it would be…
Meta
I still do what I want
This was part II in my conceptual exploration of the meta possibilities offered by the platform. Part I was differently weird, but also weird.
I guess I don’t need to add my referral link one last time?
BRAGGING TIME
The news came as a no-surprise this morning
I understand you don’t know me and have no reason to trust me. Let’s get that out of the way. Above is the slightly photoshopped screenshot as proof.
Why am I writing this article?

I’m here to help.
Here’s a top-secret transcript⁹⁹ from the judges’ judging center located in one of the best resorts on…

Thrifty Word Challenge 100 #37: Back-up Plan
If you’re a writer here, you might need a backup from time to time. Someone that would:
- be first to clap and comment on your article,
- tell you where some editing is required,
- review your draft one last time before submission.
You might even want tough-love feedback. The kind that…

Where Sweetness takes Courage
As banana split, my arch-enemy, is served, I can’t help but wonder how many times we’ve done this before. Is this what they call fate?
“I can do this all day!” I shout. The server doesn’t flinch; she knows me too well. We almost went on a date once.

Writing this article wasn’t easy
Listing the ten things of something is just shitty writing in the form of a listicle²².
But Paul likes them.
He wrote several already. Link, link, link. I guess he’ll soon write the 10 Things He Would like to Write 10 Things About.
ANYWAY.
Here are the ten things I…
