Wow there's a lot of interesting points there! You know, I get what you mean about reading online/attention span, but then the majority of the leading print publications/newspapers/magazines are now read online so I don't think reading digitally is all that limited. I just think there is a lot of competition on Medium because of how easy it is to start writing (which I think is great btw!). Yes, I aim to be in print one day, and after spending a year pitching without any responses I did loose a lot of hope with that. I find when I focus my energy into seeking that, I too often loose the love of writing I have in the first place. What I love about Medium is that it skips that part and allows me to write on my own terms. But we'll see what 2021 brings! Thank you for your comment :)
