With regard to writing on Medium, there are a few barriers to overcome. The first is getting people to read your work. The second is getting people to respond to your work and the third is keeping people interested in you as a writer.

That isn't a pity - that's a careful balancing act that all Medium authors have to get to grips with

Thanks for your comment. :o)
