I think I could benefit from the break, but don't want to let my foot off the pedal. The plan at the start was to republish old material that I wrote for magazines, but those stories don't do well here. I earn cents, then they get plagiarised, which pisses me off, because I essentially lose my ability to use that material again in print (and get paid properly!).

So for Medium, I need to write brand new stuff, which is more than I'd bargained on at the start. That's on top of a full-time writing job.

Do I love writing THAT much? We'll see.

It's nice to be able to express an opinion and get paid a few cents for it. I don't get that in the day job.
