Here is an end of the year listing of all of my 2021 published work at Medium. Some pieces were accepted by publications here, some, like this one, I directly self-published.

A Minimalist’s Christmas at The Bigger Picture This was chosen by somebody/something at Medium for further distribution. Presumably it got a boost in exposure. My most successful essay. I did the first draft a couple of years ago.

Medium is full of self-help articles, particularly about writing for Medium. The bulk of them are about writing and publishing more, so you can see why an article about writing slower, which could result in writing less, wouldn’t attract a lot of readers here. It flies in the face of this culture’s conventional wisdom.

Still Another Story About The Medium Writers Challenge Another self-published piece. This was also chosen for further distribution, even though there was a great deal published on Medium this fall about the writers challenge…
