Your friend's suggestion may be helpful ... you don't need to tag willy-nilly. But commenting on a story you've read is another thing ... great encouragement opportunity that will lift the spirits of those youv;e read and liked.

Hello Lu … this is Fred.

You clapped on some of my Medium writing recently … thank you … but I noticed that you didn’t leave a comment, nor did you click on my ‘follow’ button.

After checking your Medium stuff and liking what I saw, I’ve decided to follow YOU.

YOU WRITE GOOD! Keep it up.

I hope that, when you've read more of my stuff (see PS below) you'll choose to follow me.

Thank you for any read-back comments on MY stories that you decide are worthy.

Best wishes,

Fred

PS:

If it helps, you’ll find that a “NEW INDEX to Fred’s Story Boxes” (pinned near-top of my Home Page), contains all my story collections
