Keep writing here and you'll be tagged in all sorts of things. It happens once you've established yourself and laid out your stall. Hopefully you and Madeline will find each other- you're in the same generation of writers so it's good to keep reading each other and offering encouragement and hopefully you'll get more pieces boosted over the next few months.

Medium might block me - they've elected not to so far, I'm argumentative but I'm not unfair. People come disagree with me all the time - and you'll find if you keep writing in the style you are, people will come disagree with you too. Nothing wrong with a good healthy bit of disagreement and if you keep readers engaged and you're active in your comments section you'll quickly build some regular readers and fairly regular dissenters.

Some of my best and most loyal readers take great delight in tearing me to pieces - and I take great delight in letting them. Good luck if they find you.

I may be a man, I may be a woman. You'll have to read the 'person behind the penguin' story to find out more about why your assumption is neither here nor there.

Welcome to Medium. It's a nice place to write and read. :o)
