Writing

The Headlines Of Most Medium Articles Are Moronic Clickbait

If you’re headline has a number in it, there is a slim chance I’m going to read it

That’s pretty much all I had to say.

I want to read good writing. I’m so turned off by the Buzzfeed mentality of the headlines on this platform. If I wanted to absorb mindless drivel, I’d read People Magazine or watch Fox News. If I wanted to learn how to write, or make money writing, this would not be it.

It’s like a big circle jerk. I really hope we do better.

A cranky romantic searching for hope and humor. I tell stories. Most of them are true. I’m not at all interested in your outrage, but I do feel your pain.
