20 Weeks on Simily

Slow growth and hope for change

I’ve been writing at Simily for 20 weeks now and regularly updating my progress there with weekly posts here on Medium.

Is Simily Growing Up?

I missed last week’s update due to the recent passing of my father.

Still, the life of a writer is such that unless you “write on,” you, too, will perish.

So, I took some time to process and then dove back in to writing.

Here are the basics for this week’s update.

Simily has nearly 4000 members now and continues to grow at about 100 members a week.

The site is doing more to promote writers there (poem of the month, soliciting recommendations for excellent stories).

The founders are taking feedback and seeking to make changes — including an eventual migration to another hosting platform that is more user-friendly.

I’m glad to see the slow and steady growth. The platform could just stall out, but it keeps going forward.
