12 & 35 Ways To Churn At The Content Mill
Medium Is Alas The Message
Full disclosure.
I write mostly fiction (and occasionally politically/culturally driven diatribes).
It is what I have done (along with visual art) since at least age 20—around a half century ago.
After calculating my age it is easier to understand why I have reached the full blossoming of a get-off-my-lawn curmudgeon.
Additionally, these days my MisanthroMeter™© is quite steadily in the red.
(So what the hell are you doing here, ya fool?!)
Well, my partner introduced me to Medium about four years ago as she was publishing her short stories here. Since all my work over the years has been self-published anyway (on paper and digitally) I thought I could continue it here, online, and get a few more readers.
And I have, a few — thank you!
(It amuses me—considering how little that word means nowadays—that many writers use “published author” as some sort of credential. Because you put your words on Amazon with a book cover graphic, ignoring what that devil organization is doing to publishing, you get to soak in a bubble bath of self-satisfied authorship.
I propose they’re fart bubbles rising, and little more.)
