Congratulations! I know the feeling. It is cool to receive validation from your writing in the form of compensation.

I like to look at it this way. There’s monetary capital and there’s people capital. In my short time on Medium, I’ve made connections all over the world. These writing friends read and like my stories. How cool!

And I get paid for something, my writing, I was going to do anyway. That’s the icing on the cake.

Great to connect with you here. Let me introduce myself.

Hi Neighbor!
