Recipe for failure

I did something counter intuitive this morning which may end up biting me in the ass.

I UN-followed a few individuals; they were solid writers with interesting data and subject matter, quite good actually.

I’m sure I have violated some cardinal medium rule based off of all the articles I have read on making coin, gaining followers, being the greatest ever snagging a million dollars and a billion followers in my first 24 hours!

I am new to Medium putting in my first month of sweat equity and I have pulled my first bonehead move. Why you ask, gut reaction, you see I am well aware of our words woes. I am not trying to hide from them or run away from the reality of all the shadows circling us all.

I am however interested in making a positive difference and it begins within.

So forgive me if I choose not to follow all the new on fire advice of how to burn medium to the ground.

I have taken notice of a few individuals who in addition to being quality writers also shed light in place of creating shadow. I have made my decision for better or worse so think of me what you choose and forgive me when I say “I don’t care”.

I hear the beat of a different drummer and plan on following that song!

I may write about the darkness but plan to light the way.
Forgive me or follow me, the choice as it has always been, is yours.
