Why I Stopped Publishing on Simily
And where I’m focusing my writing efforts
If you’ve followed my writing journey over the past year, you know that I was an early fan of Simily.
I was drawn to the platform because it was initially focused on creative writing — and especially fiction.
I love Medium, but the platform is not exactly known to be a hotbed of fiction writing — or, rather, it’s not known for supporting fiction like other writing on the platform.
Simily embraces and celebrates creative writing. So, yay!
I started out there and found some other good creative writers. I enjoyed what I was reading, even if the interaction was a bit …. slow.
I figured it’s a small platform and growing, so give it time.
I gave it LOTS of time.
I won a “story of the month” there — and that kept me interested.
But Simily’s social channels are basically dead and, now they aren’t even updating earnings on any type of regular basis.
