If Medium Went Away Tomorrow, Would You Still Write?
This Question Popped Into My Mind This Morning, And It Won’t Let Me Go
In an oblique sort of way this photo reminds me of Medium. I don’t need to go home, because I Am home.
Early this morning I was writing in my journal when from out of nowhere, this question popped into my consciousness. It was one of those WTF moments, like where did this come from?
I just looked back through my journal to remind myself how this question might have been sparked.
I was writing about how much my friends on this platform mean to me. Then wondered about Ev Williams stepping down, and how this platform might change as a result. I knew it could go either direction, better or worse.
After walking three miles and stopping for a latte along the way, I walked back in my door. This question about, would I still write, had not gone away. In fact if anything, it had become more persistent. I knew I needed to ask it here.
I discovered Medium in early 2016. I was excited that I had found a great place to both read, and possibly write. I also knew I had the opportunity to learn from others writing on a broad range of topics. My interest has continued to this day.
