This article is coming a little later than I intended. What I wanted to do here was a wrap of my first consistent month on Medium and what I have learned in the process.

During July, for the first time in my year and a half on Medium, I published 9 articles. These 9 articles were done consistently and helped me to get many of my personal thoughts out. I had fun experimenting with not only what would find readers, but with what I enjoyed writing.

My story with the highest number of views is a reflection of the Black Widow movie. It’s located here. It’s my opinion on how Marvel shorted us with a subpar film. They had plenty of material to work with did a lazy job with it.

A story that has the most reads is my reflection of entering the movie theater again after the pandemic. As someone who has anxiety, it was nerve-wracking to be around people again. I think that part of me forgot how to even sit in a theater. If you want to read this article and share your own experiences I would love to hear them.

One that I have had the most fun sharing was The Chalk Outline. This was my first time sharing one of my fiction pieces. I was nervous to introduce one of my more private pieces, but in the end, I loved hearing the feedback that came from it. It gave me a bump of confidence.
