Celebrating Small Victories: A Journey Towards Recognition
Written on
Chapter 1: The Journey of Writing
In this narrative, I proudly share that I have authored five hundred and twenty-one pieces and remain steadfast in my quest for excellence!
Writing has been a laborious and time-intensive endeavor. It's been nothing short of a grind! However, my articles haven’t garnered the attention I anticipated. Despite being a published writer, it seems that this alone doesn't pave the way for success on Medium.
So, what’s the distinction? Why do some writers bask in the limelight while others—myself included—remain in obscurity, despite their achievements? What’s the elusive ingredient? I’ve adhered to all the advice, employed various strategies, yet the readership I believed I deserved has eluded me. So, what could be the reason?
Since I lack the solution to this puzzle, I’ve decided to focus on my minor victories on Medium instead. Perhaps by doing so, someone will recognize my efforts and finally elevate one of my stories—propelling me into the realm of Medium recognition as an author.
Victory #1: Milestone Achieved
With this post, I will have published five hundred and twenty-two pieces on Medium! This feat has taken me over a year and a half, which is no small achievement.
Victory #2: My First Earnings
I’m thrilled to announce that I finally wrote something that earned me some cash—$5 to be precise! It’s taken the same duration as my first victory. For those who are curious, my total earnings so far amount to $11.57. While it might not seem significant, it is nonetheless a small victory for me.
Victory #3: Progress in Earnings
My latest achievement also reflects in my finances. I am on track to surpass my previous record of $15 from last month. However, I’ll refrain from sharing a screenshot this time, as I don't want to jinx my progress!
In case you’re interested in supporting me, feel free to follow the advice I’ve shared.
This brief account serves as a celebration and a reminder for me to look forward to even greater accomplishments on this platform. I still recall my very first story that received a boost on Medium, but that moment remains elusive!
What is taking so long, Medium? I must continue writing until recognition finally arrives, right? Do you share this belief, or is there a secret formula I’m still unaware of?
I hope for someone to elevate my work, someone to follow me, someone to engage with my stories, and ultimately, someone to notice my efforts.
Reflecting on Small Victories
Wait, I got sidetracked! This post was meant to celebrate my small victories, yet I began to feel disheartened.
To lift my spirits, I’ll share a clip of my last commercial, showcasing some of my most notable courtroom successes. As a criminal defense attorney, I’ve had my share of significant triumphs over the years.
By sharing this, I am affirming that my writing will eventually yield similar remarkable outcomes. Stay tuned...
