Medium Darling, Something’s Changed Between Us
Is it you? I’ve felt a shift?
Something is different and I don’t understand what it is. Recently I have had more attention toward some of my articles.
It’s a strange thing, writing from your heart, publishing, feeling apprehension and then waiting and waiting to see what happens. Some of my articles sat in stillness for months and may have had one or two reads. I admit I can at times be too obsessive about checking stats. Even if one person reads my article, it still amazes me.
I believed that my older articles would forever be relatively unseen and unnoticed. And further that if I continued to write, learn and invest in our community here on this platform, then just maybe I could gradually become more visible. I also thought this may never happen and that my investment and work would not result in many reads.
But it has been the last few weeks that something shifted. Suddenly and for reasons I don’t understand, I have some articles that have been seen. There are notably increased numbers in views, reading and connection. I don’t know that I understand algorithms or ever could. I do hope the algorithm gods will look favorably on me. In the meantime, I will do my best.
Please Darling, don’t misunderstand. It’s a good thing. I do relish the extra attention. But what…
