Member-only story
This changes everything.
Hi there.
My name is KIRU (and yes, it’s spelled in all caps).
I haven’t been an active member on Medium for very long, so there is a lot I’m still learning. Honestly I think it’s been about a week as of this writing since I started publishing and reading more than once a week, lol! By the way, how I got over my trepidation when it comes to publishing content is another story for another day, but what I can say is that although I’ve barely scratched the surface of the community that exists on this platform, I feel as though I have been seen and encouraged as a new writer in so many ways.
I first joined Medium as a paid subscriber about six months ago, when I saw an article in my email and then felt led to read a few more in-platform. It had been a while since I had posted new blog content for a blog (mostly because I had been stuck at trying to figure out what to do next, or how to restructure existing content), but I figured if anything was going to get me to start writing and publishing more content, it was going to be a paid Medium membership.
Turns out I was right.
Since becoming a more active member in the last week or so, I’ve been reading a lot of stories from authors who write about all…
