My Highest Earning Medium Story in February 2024

I mean… weird is what we aim for, I guess!

About half-way through February I realised that this was gonna be another one of those months where I couldn’t devote as much time and energy to either Medium or Dora Reads as I wanted to.

…also my mental health sucked this month.

And despite what the stereotypes may have you believe, Depression and Anxiety can make writing nigh-on impossible; and my social battery for dealing with comments etc. is low at the best of times.

— You’re possibly sick of hearing it, but I will reply to every comment… eventually. Still working my way through November! (I am so behind!)

Anyway. About halfway through the month I’d only earned a few dollars, so I figured I’d aim for $10 for February, and realistically settle for $5.

($5 doesn’t actually pay for my month’s membership, before you say it — the 30% international tax means that earning $5 gets me about $3.50.)
