Ah Medium, you are such a fickle lover

Mysterious Medium, I am never going to figure you out, but I’m still trying. It is estimated that there are more than 50 million monthly visitors to Medium — and yet it is an ongoing effort to try to get a wider read for the pieces I write. I know I am not alone. Here is my April roundup:
1.) A Pop Quiz for Autoimmune Disease Awareness Month
This is a piece on The Haven that was particularly meaningful for me as someone with an autoimmune disease. Thirty-one people read it with an 86 percent response rate which is something I rarely achieve. Then, it didn’t get curated and settled into oblivion. I believe in it so much I tried to reach out to Medium editors for another look. Crickets. Bummer.
