This is why, whilst I love it here, I have "diversified" (if you'll forgive my use of an obscenity) to places like Substack (I have cunning plans for that platform even though I'm merely syndicating to there at present). Obviously, my main writing priority has always been my novels, so Medium was a sideshow from the very start. :)
