For me this platform is an adventure and sometimes it seems like being lost in the woods. I am learning as I go. I had several pieces written that got no attention, then suddenly after six months I had a huge spike in reads. (But it seems this trend was something within the platform that others experienced.) Since then, my levels have gone back to very low reads. Of course I take responsibility, but also I attribute it to the Medium wizard behind the curtain. We don't really see what he is doing.

Your writing is always good. Are you critiquing your own work from a professional perspective?

I would say it takes time and building relationships, but I know a lot of people are discouraged by the downward shifts on the platform.
