BULLSHITTERS ON MEDIUM
What In the Name of Buddha Are You Nattering On About?
Just write a damned story, already
Oh, man, I’m searching my feed for something I want to read and all I’m getting is a colossal headache.
This one’s writing about the shit-ton of money he makes on another platform and that one’s writing about the money he makes here, while yet another boob is boasting about his “top writer” status even though that useless, fleeting label seems to be missing from his profile.
Oops.
We don’t care. Did you get that, folks? Most of us don’t give a FF what you’re making. If your aim is to make the rest of us writers feel bad, those of us who work at it, okay, you’ve won. We all feel like walking turds, okay? Can we move on, now?
Here. Let’s pretend we’re all on Medium to write stories. You remember those, yeah? Like:
“Once upon a time, there was a squirrel, and he had a human friend named Roy. And Roy would work overtime at the Piggly Wiggly for “peanuts,” you might say because Roy knew that the squirrel loved them!”
Did you see that? I made it up on the spot. While you’re getting ready to copy and paste your stats, I made up a little story about a dude and his squirrel.
