Dear John, I just discovered you, because of a comment you left. I read comments. I read others...

I like writing, too. I just really started writing. Regardless of any success, I will likely keep writing. But I am baffled, and you capture that here. Like, I like UFOs stuff, and Avi Loeb, yes, THE Avi, Harvard Physicist, is writing here, Trail of the Saucers- and I imagine he would be blowing up Medium... Not many followers, not what I think he should have. I am clearly bias. On the other side of the scale, there is Depak Chopra- he has like 72k followers, but I don't really see the likes, or his stories doing much better than Avi...

I started writing as a hobby, 2004. in 2016, I took up writing daily. In 2020, I started Medium? and I haven't figured things out. I had this really dreadful piece get almost 7k views. I am not complaining. I would like to be consistent, in my quality and what works for others?

My sanity requires I don't do math. I don't follow the follows, but there are some folks I genuinely like and I am curious about them and life and some of them have even corresponded. If I see no other benefits, this has been the icing on my cake of life.

well met, brother Egelkrout!
