Hello Tessa … this is Fred.
I saw this article of yours in a recent Medium Weekly Digests sent to my inbox.
I enjoyed the read and whilst I agree with your overall thesis re writing is what matters, not blogging, I would not agree that you can't write about yourself in a proper and interesting way - and in a way that will interest readers.
One of my own collection of stories are grouped together as "Me" stories and tell about world-wide adventures and interesting experiences. Some are fun-reads; others serious analyses; and others 'just interesting'. I find that a lot of people enjoy them.
Anyway, I think that your writing is great.
I have decided to follow you so that I might see more of your stories on Medium.
If you have the time, maybe you might follow me, but of course, only if you find my stories of interest to you.
I wish you well with your own writing.
Nice to catch up with you.
All the best to you and yours,
Fred
