A few years ago I had what I considered to be a great idea. I was going to write a book titled ‘Wise Words’ filled with my own words, ones I considered to be particularly wise ones. I kept that little book in a file on my laptop, and it stayed there, doing absolutely nothing …
I’d pretty well written off the idea of doing anything more with those words, but then, oh glorious time, then I came up with the idea of breaking that small book into a serious of articles, and began posting these articles to a new (for me) writing platform, Medium.com. So at the moment, I’m about halfway through posting these, not rushing it, and doing other things, both writing related, and other things.
This new platform is a global one, and even though at the moment, I’ve only been here for a week or so, I’m enjoying learning more about what it is, and how it works. I’m not expecting to make huge amounts of money there, but that file on my laptop, doing nothing, was never going to make any money at all. And of course, the sharing of my words is more important to me than making any money.
So even though this will not be a huge money-making thing, in fact it will be lucky if I make more than a single dollar in April, my first month of placing my work here, at least I can see how many people are reading my work, and that’s a good thing!

above is a link to that most recent piece from ‘Wise Words’ – why not take a look, and explore the platform, It may appeal to you as well! Leave a comment there, and one here too if you want to, I’d love to know how you feel about my ‘wise words’ and about that writing platform too!
Words shared with others will always be better than words rotting away on a laptop, never looked at again …
