OK David ... your comedic side really shows through!
Your John 13: 14-17 is a beautiful reverse 'take'!!
In focussing on click bait and 'following' you have managed to write about a slick-click idea that does make sense, but I have to be honest: I don't 'buy into it all' . It's very good though.
I also encourage reciprocal 'following' - and I have chosen to follow you - and by-the-way, thanks for following me first.
Perhaps my method of encouraging followers also works, or maybe your following me was just coincidental.
Anyway, good luck with your writing.
Here's a question for you:
Not being a social media user myself (in fact refusing to be one) does limit my story-promotions, and I did read somewhere that you can post your Medium stories (or their links?) on Twitter (for which I do have an account, but not used).
Do you know how this is done? Advice please.
Have a great day David,
Fred
