Finally Distributed

Fourteen months ago, I was *not* a writer. If I did it, you definitely can too…

After a year of writing and several rule-changes from the Medium team, one of my articles was finally selected for “Further Distribution.”

I’ve never considered myself a writer — I’m what we call a “math & science guy” through and through.

I have no clue how the Jessica Wildfires and Tim Dennings of the world do what they do.

The Journey

I originally joined the Medium Partner Program in September 2020. The first week of October, I decided to write full-time.

At the time, California was on fire from top-to-bottom and the United States was redefining itself in the wake of BLM Summer, just before the most contentious Presidential Election in living memory.

As much as I loved my old job and my coworkers, I couldn’t stomach the denial that’s necessary to continue “business as usual.”
