I'm on Medium for crowd wisdom, not for crowd funds. I'm not saying that I don't care about the monetary side of it, I do, but it is not what I'm here for. While reading other's people stories, I search for answers to the questions of my own life, and sometimes I find it., and then it feels great. Writing my own stories takes this experience to an entirely new level. It is not only about "what" but also about "how". And this is my second reason for being here: I want to improve my "how" by writing, by receiving my reader's feedback, by gaining experience. Hope it will eventually help my storied "do well":-)
Thanks for the encouragement!
