A Medium Milestone
Crossing 500 followers on my writing journey
I’ve been writing on Medium for some time now, but seriously writing here since December of 2020. That’s when Medium said you’d need 100 followers to stay in the Medium Partner Program. I knew that to do this, I’d need to step up my game — both by writing more consistently and by engaging more with other writers.
