Here are some of the non-paywalled links to my recent Medium articles
This was only meant to be an occasional blog but turned into an entity that I rarely update. The reason is that I’ve started to make a decent side income from Medium- with eleven of my stories being Boosted by the platform (meaning they receive wider readership) since I started writing at the end of December.
Writing on Medium has helped me develop and grow as a writer. I write mainly opinion pieces or personal essays, some for publications and some under my own name only. I’ve grown in confidence and all going well- I will be at the threshold for tax self-assessment within 3-4 months (the tax free limit is £1000 in the UK from self-employment, even if you have a full time job in addition). Yikes!
Most of the stories to get a Boost are written when I’m raging about something- or at least got beef about something. Everything from transphobia and being unable to get my ADHD meds- to stupid tests to confirm biological age. My biggest earning article about public sexual harassment was also the one that got the most negative comments- men frightened that they were being legislated against. This frankly said more about them.
I’ll post the four articles mentioned here- and an extra one as a bonus. These are Friend links, so non-paywalled.
