Sherry,
I think I'm in love with you!
Well I love your acerbic wit, and totally agree with what you say on here mostly.
I write my stuff for practice, for fun, but it would be nice to get some recognition more than the odd meeting of the mob at Medium's staff, who are probably fifty years or more younger than us.
I select what I like to read like most of us but find a hell of a lot more crap these days coming my way.
I've tried so many genres on here but they are all stuff I can copy, re-edit and post somewhere else.
The ones that did get curated and boosted in the past, I felt were complete shit, but at least it was my own Richard. (Cockney Rhyming slang. Richard the Third=Turd (just FYI))
