Thanks for the badly needed belly full of laughs or is that a barrel full…
I could literally take your post, erase your name and sign mine in place. But then I’d be breaking the damn rules. Makes one wonder though no? Just how many of your stories have been cannibalized??
Don’t know why I raised that unrelated issue. Paranoia perhaps. Maybe.
Point is along similar sentiments you’ve made I don’t think anyone would think to plagiarize my 160 something published stories. Just love the ring of that.
Hell three bucks!? You’re rolling in it my friend I’ve made zero, zilch, nada. Yep. I think of all i could do with those 3 bucks!
As i write from guatemala Medium won’t pay anything that being the case.
I cant say this has meant an utter sense of failure; at least I have a way out out of ‘our’ conundrum.
I theorize to my fantastical pleasure that were Medium to pay guatemalan authors Id by now be driving my tesla to the local Starbucks laptop in tow. Hell in my mind Ive already been interviewed by no less than Opra thankyou. Oh and my new pals are Sean and King. So check
them apples my friend…
In meantime just keep plugging. Hell what else are we gonna do?

After all it has to come down to the love for what we do, right?
Have good one amigo.

Tom
