Thank God for Big Boobs
and thank you to the readers on Medium
At the risk of jinxing it, I’m going to post this.
Starting in May of 2021 I began putting stories and poems on Medium almost every day. I enjoyed it, and did all the things I thought I was supposed to do. I made 10 bucks the first month, 15 the second. It looked like it was going well. On the third month I made 22 bucks! Like many people I thought my earnings would continue to escalate. I figured I had it made in the shade with a vodka lemonade.
August came with a whopping 12 bucks. I started posting a serialized novel and that went over like a turd in a tea cup. It demoralized me.
Some devastating personal issues hit me and in November I just said fuck it and stopped posting and pretty much forgot about Medium.
Then one day in the middle of this month I started getting notifications via email. Some people were noticing me on Medium, clapping, making comments. I didn’t pay it any attention.
But they kept coming. Finally I realized that all the notifications were about the same story. A story I had posted on August 18th called Pool Parties and Big Boobs. It was a story about my cab driving days, a story which is in my book, “6 to 6” published a couple years ago by Terror House Press, and which has netted me…
