I love your honesty, and sharing your experiences. You can obviously relate to the problems facing career writers. The unresponsiveness of editors was one of the reasons I came to Medium, because the void and the lack of communication from many quarters was so depressing.
One of the editors here says he's making a living, but he's also working silly hours and has the advantage of boost perks.
I think I'm going to try and salvage my journalism career and just try to manage my time on medium better. The past few days have been lovely to get some good jobs in. Maybe there's hope. ๐
