I'll Take That Medium, Please

I have had an account on Medium for three years now, and I have just started using it. So far, I've written three posts. The goal is to write at least one post a day for the next two months and post AT LEAST three times a week every week thereafter. I have set the goal according to what I have been reading about how to make money on Medium. Views = $$$ and the more you write, the more views you get. There is no promise of riches, but from what I've seen already, a good supplemental income can be found on Medium.

 What I like: 

  • I have power over what I write and how often I write. 
  • There are thousands of excellent writers on Medium and I enjoy trying to read them all. 
  • There is something for everyone! Any interest you have is expressed on Medium.
  • A membership costs $5 a month. Even if I didn't write, the $5 is worth the chance to read.

Reading and Writing at Scattered Daisy

 The project is Scattered Daisy - a website built around books, writing, and a touch of other creative arts. Reviews, summaries, discussions, contests and education are the focus.  I am determined to see this through - and so everyday I work at it. I write content. I create images. I sign up for affiliate programs. I read, write, and consider.  I'm scheduled to launch on June 1st.

Brainstorming is the name of the game and perseverance is the key to finding the destination. 




Sometimes Less Really Is More


My blog is due to launch in just under six weeks and I am once again scrambling on what it is that I really want my blog to be about. I know I want a blog about creativity, but I am afraid I may have bitten off more than I can chew. I have to narrow the niche. My biggest problem with that is that I have already started telling everyone about my big blog launch and how it encompasses all those fantastic creative areas. To put it plainly, my biggest problem is the fear of looking foolish before I even get started.

Ouch. I have three options:

  1. Swallow my pride now and do what I know I can do. 
  2. Fail miserably at trying to do more than I capable of doing. 
  3. Throw up my hands, give up, and cover my head with a blanket. 


Option one sounds best - even if it is a bit chilly in here.
