Everything you pointed out in the "What should you do?" section is the recipe for doing well on Medium while also having a good time with it.

I've been on here a couple of years and am just now beginning to see the light. I'd overthink everything, and being new at writing made my insecurity a wall I couldn't easily get over. But your approach is brilliant and true. Relax, have a good time, and things will be fine.

Thanks for this piece!
