Elaine ... you write a most interesting article here, and you offer some sound advice ... much of it being based on your own experience or that of a close friend or relative.

Hello ... this is Fred.

Also, writing to thank you for reading some of my stories, and for deciding to follow me.

After checking-out your Home Page I have decided to follow YOU,

I note that you haven't written a lot yet on the Medium platform, but I wish you well on your writing journey.

A piece of advice:

Try breaking up your paragraphs into short, four ot five lines max ... it gives a much easier and smoother read for your readers. believe me ... it works!

Elaine, I am happy to have you as one of my Medium friends.

Do check-out NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes. (its also pinned near-top of my Home Page). I hope that it provides you with a handy guide and an easy way of selecting a story to read.

👍😊❤

Fred
