Back in September 2021 when I became writing on Medium, I was sure all I had to do was post a few stories I had been working on for a while to immediately be listed among the “100 Major Works of Modern Creative Nonfiction.” Little did I realize it would take months, if not years, to build a following.

Eight months later, I’m starting to get a following. Meanwhile, there are those original stories. I can’t delete and repost them: That’s against Medium’s rules. What I can do, however, is this:

I appreciate your feedback, whether you agree with me or not, so please comment, highlight or clap (up to 50 times). And if you don’t yet have access to all Medium writers and writing, please subscribe here. Part of your subscription will go to pay writers — like me! — and keep this site ad-free.
