What to Expect on Medium
A quick overview for newbies.
You can expect to see a lot of this:
You can expect to start so many drafts of articles that you soon have enough to fill a novel, should you ever decide to publish a novel of half-written blog posts.
You can expect to spend more time hunting down the perfect photos for your piece than you spent actually writing the piece.
You can expect to stress over titles, subtitles, and tags.
You can expect the top publications to take longer and longer to respond to your submission.
You can expect to see the publication’s logo on the bottom of your draft piece, but have no idea what that actually means or when it will go live.
You can expect to expect to lose fist fulls of hair — yanked out by your own hands — as you see, once again, that your published story was “not distributed in topics.”
You can expect some readers to clap only one time per article.
You can expect other readers not to clap at all.
