A “Medium” Move (In The Right Direction)

This will be my last post on Rock Momma Reviews by Jill V.

Huh?

What?

Am I quitting the writing biz? No way!

What I am doing is moving my musings to Medium! Why? Because it’s easier. Also, right now in my life, it is best that I publish on an established platform, rather than continuing to run this blog all by myself.

Cheaper, too. #realtalk

WordPress can be overwhelming for a novice webmaster, and honestly, my half-ass attempts at coding and dealing with plug-ins and all that is HARD. It also takes up a lot of time that could better be spent on writing.

Yeah, I’d rather just WRITE. Fo’ realz. And Medium allows me to do just that!

I invite you to continue to follow me, but now on Medium at https://medium.com/@doublesmom77. I’ll also keep this site alive and archived (if I am able to- I’m currently trying to learn the process via YouTube tutorials) at https://doublesmom77.github.io. You’ll be able to read my past posts over there, but no new posts will be added. I can also be followed and contacted via twitter at https://twitter.com/DoubleSMom77.

Thanks for reading! I’ve enjoyed the last almost 4 years immensely, and have learned a lot blogging here. I very much look forward to continuing my writing journey on Medium. I hope you’ll join me there!

30Thoughts, 500Words, Day 2: I’m a Quora Partner! Not 100% Sure What That Means, But Doesn't It Sound Impressive AF?

Welcome! Its currently Day 2 of my 30Thoughts 500Words Challenge, and today I’m discussing the Question-Answer website Quora, and its revenue-sharing invite-only Quora Partners Program.

What is Quora?

Quora is “a question-and-answer website where questions are asked, answered, edited, and organized by its community of users in the form of opinions” according to Wikipedia. Interestingly, however, I lack any recollection of creating a Quora account, a phenomenon that’s been experienced by countless others, I’ve come to find out.

30Thoughts, 500Words to Better Writing Habits Day 1: The Why, The What, and The WTF Am I Thinking?

30Thoughts, 500Words: The Why

Around four years ago, on a whim, I intercepted and submitted an application to join a writer’s group I saw shared on some Facebook rando’s timeline. Shortly after applying, I was both surprised and thrilled to discover that I had been accepted to join the group! With no writing experience whatsoever, I was now a member of The Mix, an outside-contributor writer’s program run by Hearst Digital Media.

Every weekday, we Mix contributors would receive an email containing the five essay topics of the day. We had 48 hours from that moment to submit a 600-800 word essay on any or all of the day’s topics. If Hearst liked your essay, your byline would end up in one or more of Hearst’s numerous digital publications.
