Friend Links for Medium
All my Medium posts to the end of 2019
 |
They say you should start as you mean to go on.
I wanted the first post on Chapter 23 to be something of value rather than just throat-clearing so here we go.
Here are the Friend Links for all of my existing posts on Medium to the end of 2019.
This means that you can read everything I wrote on Medium for free despite it being behind their paywall.
Think of it as a giant fuck you to Medium.
Wait. Did I say that out loud? That’s not what I meant to say at all.
Think of it as a giant THANK YOU to my readers.
Yes. That sounds much better.
In the New Year I’ll send out regular friend links to all of my writing — past, present, and future.
So expect at least once a week to see an excerpt of a post with a friend link to the full article so that you can read it for free.
I’ll also post special things that you won’t find anywhere else on an ad-hoc basis but that’s a secret so promise not to tell.
Paid subscribers can also expect something extra on the 23rd of every month.
Surprises are in store for those who stick around.
Happy reading!
