The Five Articles I Enjoyed Writing the Most
A pause for reflection
A few days ago I published my 300th article on Medium. I’ve been writing steadily on Medium for about two years, and for me, 300 articles is something of a milestone.
I normally publish between 10 to 15 articles per month, and they average about six to seven minutes each. There are people who publish many more articles than I do, and there are people who publish much less. I think of myself as a middle-of-the-roader.
I won’t bore you with how much money I make, or what the vicissitudes of the income and reads are month by month. I do okay. I’m not getting rich, but I make more than many. I guess you could say I am satisfied with what I have received in compensation.
300 articles is a lot of writing, and my articles have spanned a fairly wide range of topics. I am not a niche writer. I never want to be a niche writer. My interests are too varied to ever become one. I write about politics, education, the environment, and religion. I occasionally write a memoir. In short, I write what appears before me and grabs my interest.
I like it like that.
Just as all my articles haven’t had the same number of reads or made the same amount of money, the amount of joy I have experienced in writing them varies as well…
