I'm not the type of person who promotes myself or my work. That's because anything I might say about myself might be mistaken or misinterpreted, and I don't like the comeback.
That said, I have been published for 60 years - on three continents. I also stopped counting the prizes for my writing by the time I was 25.
My politics have been progressive since 1966, and I've been an environmentalist since 1970. I think that benevolence is a survival mechanism, and I find it difficult to relate to people who do unethical things.
I have five different magazines:
I have no interest in self-help, spirituality, conservative politics, libertarian economic systems, or articles on how to write.
For the record, I've held the 'Top Writer' tag for many different niches here. It is meaningless, so just ignore it. They come and go. I write according to my thoughts of the day, and those can vary considerably.
I get vastly irritated by the number of people who write stories like "I made $1.25 this month - so can you" or "I'm a brilliant writer because Medium said I was a top writer" or "I can teach you how to write for $500." If you want to read a good writer on Medium, read Cory Doctorow.
I've now basically stopped writing on Medium.
