Or are they mutually exclusive terms?

This may be an odd concept, but apparently, a simple one to achieve. Here’s how!
Write a lot of different things about the same thing. And write a lot. And label all your stories with the same secret label.
There is no specified number of times, but you will be told when you get there.
So, in summation, pick a subject from the current list of favorite topic/tags and start writing. You will be told when to put your pencil down.
So far, my research has not told me whether it is better to stalk this prey once a day or twice or more, or if that number affects the length of your hunt.
Elusive, yes.
But this cunning and desired trophy will look great over the mantle or on the resume.
The more I learn about it, the more I understand how badly I need at least one.
As far as the actual platform goes, it is exquisitely beautiful in its logic. Writers on Medium fall into categories such as medium-well and medium-rare.
There are also medium-average writers.
For the sake of success on the site, writers who fall into the medium-well category do infinitely better than the average or rare writers.
So the trick is to do it.
Now. Constantly. Always.
Since I am a visual learner and need reminding of my goals, I am putting “top gun writer” on my profile. Soon I hope I can come up with something more substantial to use, like “top writer,” which I am sure will be sent by the great Medium spirits soon.
Now I have written a “how-to” story.
