Love your writing, as always! I am new to Medium (as of late Feb) and I had one article - published 2/20/21 - earn $13.17 so far and has been featured! This was a HUGE win for me so I get what you're saying, on a smaller scale right now. Others a few dollars here and there but this one is my "baby," ironically it's about my complicated relationship with my fur-baby so sharing our progression in bonding has been even more valuable with comments thanking me for describing how they feel, and never felt OK talking about something that could come across as anything less than a Hallmark relationship with their dog. I think the last time I commented on one of your posts it was about bravery in writing as well. Thank you for your posts.
