How Do You Engage Your Readers on Medium?

Write, edit, re-write, re-edit, re-re-write, re-re-edit, okay, perfect, publishhhhh.

I‘m’ rubbing my hands together for the joy of publishing my fantastic post; I can finally take a bath, then head to sleep; tomorrow, I will get plenty of meaningful comments and conversations with my readers. YiiiHaaa

Kuukuukuukuuuuuu, It’s already tomorrow; getting up early in the morning as my little chicken wakes me up, clicking on my screen and opening Medium, looking at my notification bar; oh, a comment, click, open. “Great article!”

Shit! Why don’t people take my work seriously? waaaaaa, waaaaaaa, waaaaaa. Crying like a baby for attention. Oh god, here is a lollipop. Could you stop it now?

The reason no one gives a shit about your article is that you have killed your piece with your hands and turned it into a complete masterpiece of boredom. Your work has shifted from expressing your soul to a bunch of lifeless facts and made-up shitty stories that don’t relate to people’s lives.

I’m not a professional writer and don’t want to be one, even if you hand me a million dollars on a golden plate. Becoming a professional writer is a curse if I want to entertain people. The less skilled I’m, the less seriously I take myself and my craft, and the crazier my writing becomes.
