SAT - I’m Told No One Reads My Stuff on the Weekend (Includes quiz on your writing potential.)
So I’m sure you won’t see this until next week.
That is apparently a fact.
And I am somewhat of a fact analyzer.
I have also found that Medium places importance on the accumulation of ten fans for any given story, and sends the author a note when it occurs. Cool.
It may also happen at fifty fans and one hundred fans, but I’m new here, so that is still stuff that only happens next door at the unicorn ranch, as far as I know. Rumor. Fantasy.
Since my beginning here, and especially since I started my own publication, I have been experimenting with some different variables. I know there have been documented stories in the past, but they were documented using another writer other than me. And my style may be nuanced differently. So I re-test.
I re-test numbered lists, I re-test mentioning the word Medium in the title. I write about writing. I write about real estate.
I look at stories with eight or nine (but not yet ten) fans, and periodically give them, a honk of the old Renault’s horn to see if I can boost them to glory.
I look at all the stats concerning my stories, and I graph them according to weekends and weekdays. I look at them by weather and temperatures. I study them by phases of the moon as well. I tweak the titles from time to time.
I have to tell you, it all adds up.
To a lot of my time being spent that I could have used to write stories.
I already know that many of my stories are not written JUST TO BE STORIES. Many have ulterior motives. So it is important, here in the lab, to nail down some of these Farmer’s Almanac-type rumors.
At this point, I cannot truthfully tell you I know exactly what I am doing. There are too many people telling you that about themselves already.
