MEDIUM EXPERIMENT

The Algorithm Experiment

A first-hand exploration as a Medium writer trying something brand new

What to do when you KNOW life is about to get in the way of your writing? Let’s see if the Medium“algorithm gods” will like my experiment. (Image created on Canva)

It happens to all of us writers: Life gets in the way. Sometimes, it hits us out of nowhere. Sometimes, we are lucky and know life’s adventures are about to begin.

Think Like a Lactating Mother

When you know life is going to start picking up its pace, the best thing you can do as a writer is craft some articles ahead of time.

Think of your audience as an infant and you, the creator, his/her lactating mother.

Start pumping out those stories ahead of time, so your baby (reader) won’t go hungry.

Fortunately, I knew ahead of time that life was about to pick up pace. I already knew I wouldn’t be able to read or write on this amazing site for the next week.

The gifted and fellow Medium writer, Barb Dalton 🇺🇦 wrote of a similar situation, which inspired me to do this experiment — thank you, Barb!
