Hey Medium!

How’s it going for the new year for everyone?

It has been an ultra wonderful string of days for me personally so far this year — and I could not be more excited to share the news I have received today!

I am officially an Editor — for the epic publication Be Open, where I not only am a new editor but a writer too!

I know I have been MIA a bit this past month, but the holidays are a rough one for me…

But I have the great news for you today, that I am 100% back for the new year, and more ready to write [and edit!] for Medium than ever genuinely.

Also, sometimes a short-form post is all you need to get the ball rolling for future story ideas!

I used to always think that I needed to write long-form posts, and meet that notorious ‘seven-minute mark’ that everyone says you need to meet for SEO and traction, or whatever.

But what if we stopped caring about the marketing, and just were to WRITE?

That is the theory I will test, sometimes in short-form this year, but other times still my long form writing — whatever seems to flow that day, is what will be written.
