Brandon - thanks for your sincerity and support in my corner over here on Medium. Five times is pretty impressive Brandon, but I'm going to challenge you with this thought: what if your average earning per piece doubled if you published three instead of 5 because your tribe had a chance to read all three? I will do my best to support many of my friends like you who publish multiple times a week, but because there are so many of you - three is often the best I can do when writers publish daily. Multiply that ability to all your tribe, and if you got double the read time on three stories: that's more money than 5 articles a week + sweat + the time to write and edit + having to come up with fresh ideas all the time...

I'm not an amazing writer Brandon. But because I save enough time to read many writers and I'm organized with my time, Medium authors are kind and generous and will come read you. So incorporate that into your strategy...Brandon, I'm producing fewer articles than in my first 6 months, and my earnings have not taken a dip - and often made more. But that means I need to really give those pieces my heart and time to see what's the best I can do -- without getting caught up in perfectionism. That's defeating and a huge problem for me.

Sharing to encourage you - and I don't want you to have burnout. And you're a fantastic writer!!!!!!!
