Medium – The Key to Growing as a Writer

Starting My Writing Adventure

When I began using Medium, it felt like stepping onto a big stage for the first time.

Nervous – no confidence.

English isn’t my first language, so it was tough at first.

Reading other writers and comparing to mine was like earth and heaven.

I wanted to share my thoughts and connect with others through writing, but my early attempts weren’t very good.

My writing lacked depth and didn’t get much attention.

For a long time – Confidence level is low.

Feeling Alone Among Many

At the beginning, my posts on Medium didn’t get much notice.

I felt like I was trying to speak out in a crowded room where no one could hear me.

There were no comments or applause for my work, which made me wonder if anyone would ever notice what I had to say.

Am I going to fail as a writer? I wondered…

Keeping Up the Effort

Despite these challenges, I didn’t give up.

I knew that getting better at writing would take time and effort.

As I kept writing and sharing my articles, I could see myself improving bit by bit.

People start to engage with claps, highlights and leave comments.

Such a welcoming community of writers.

I get excited.

Joining Medium’s Welcoming Community

One of the best things about Medium was becoming part of its community.

I met other writers who were kind and shared their knowledge with me.

Their advice and encouragement helped me improve my writing skills and gain more confidence.

Seeing Real Progress

As I kept writing, more people began to notice and appreciate my work.

I started to get followers and applause, which felt great.

It meant that my writing was getting better and people were enjoying what I had to say.

Learning Valuable Lessons on Medium

Now, I feel much more confident in my writing. Being on Medium has taught me several important things:

1. Keep Trying: Even when it’s hard, it’s important to keep writing and improving.
2. Support Matters: The encouragement I got from other Medium users really helped me grow.
3. Always Learn: Writing is a journey where there’s always something new to learn.

Looking Back at My Journey

Medium has been more than just a place to post my writing.

It’s been a key part of my growth as a writer.

I’ve found my own space in the community and learned a lot from others.

Medium is where I’ve been able to share my thoughts, improve my skills, and connect with readers.

I’m grateful for the experience and excited to keep growing as a writer here.
