I’m 27 years old, have a stable job, and my physical health is above par. But one slice of the pie chart is still worryingly incomplete: relationships. I’m willing to bet you feel the same to some degree. You have certain parts figured out, and others that seem unfinished.

Staying consistent, no matter your writing goals. Writing is both a deep passion and a light hobby that can quickly fall to the wayside, waxing and waning in consistency for many. You’ll find bursts of inspiration with words flowing from your fingers, only for it to crash as if from a caffeine high, a blinking cursor cackling at your loss for words. Maybe your freelance business hits a stagnant point. Clients dial back then drop out, new inquiries dry up.

I’m not so sure as of lateEvery year around turkey time, I meet up with a group of hometown friends for Blackout Wednesday — the eve of Thanksgiving where we meet up, catch up, and get forked up beyond coherence. It’s a sacred time. An event I look forward to every year, since I don’t see those friends so much anymore. The hometown heroes. New friends are great, but these dudes hold a special place.

Freelancers: Your Client Is Not Your BossSeasoned freelancers are already aware of this, but writers who are new to the wild west of 1099ing, know this:It’s easy to default to this notion when starting out. You have your first one or two paying customers and will do anything you can to please them. Only, they’re not paying you to please them. They’re paying for your skills and expertise — which means pushing back here and there when your client’s ideas aren’t up to par.

Twitter’s Influence on Medium Is Clear As DayMedium and Twitter (Now “X”) both thrive off brevity and chunking. It makes sense, seeing as Evan Williams co-founded Twitter before starting Medium. I’m sure you’ve noticed how Medium writers tend to publish in short, scannable paragraphs. I conform to it myself. It’s more extreme on Twitter with its 280 character limit, but still prevalent here. Why? 68% Medium’s traffic is mobile, according to Casey Botticello’s 2019 article.

Space Out Your Medium Articles, or Your Audience Will Burn OutI made a grave mistake this week by posting too much in too little time. It wasn’t all on me, and I say that because a couple of the articles were submitted days before being reviewed and published.

Have you ever felt frozen after clicking that Change Topics button? Sitting there, draft already written, spending 10 minutes wondering how your audience would search for your words. It’s just another tedious step before hitting Publish. After much frustration, I nailed down a system. Here’s how I choose tags a bit quicker than I used to:Blend the keyword your readers are likely searching for with topics that have traction, but not too much. Niche is semi-key.

Whenever I log onto LinkedIn, I scroll through a sea of personal testimonies about how rough the job market is right now. Reduced hours, pay, layoffs, you name it. It’s heartbreaking to see colleagues — and their colleagues — struggle to find an employer who’ll give them a chance. But there’s another group of people, employed people, who face a separate struggle. A cohort that’s overworked and undervalued in a time where expenses are at an all-time high.
