FIRST and FOREMOST: Happy Birthday Dark Lord and Brother Taurus!!! Mine is today, so we share.
Thank you so much for including me in your shoutout. I am truly honoured.
- What do you like best about the publication so far?
Everything.
2. What do you think would make the publication better?
I honestly cannot think of anything.
3. What’s your jam?
Animal welfare, horticulture, holistic medicine, photography, art, activism, mental health, — I have the attention span of a flea so all day reading, wouldn’t work for me. But fave types of reading would include mystery, historic drama, biography.
4. Name Three Causes You Wouldn’t Mind Seeing TBI throw its support behind: Animal welfare - ie. better anti cruelty laws. Prevention of domestic violence ( linked to animal cruelty.) Better support for mental health.
5. I’d like to consult with those that run successful publications and pick their brain, please give me names of publishers on Medium that you respect and publications that love to visit.
Other than TBI itself, myt top fave publications are Weeds and Wildflowers, Snapshots, and P.S. I Love you
Last, but perhaps most important
“I’ve been working on The Bad Influence for a while across social media and on Medium, and my goals have been simple: make all creatives feel welcome, help creatives find an audience, and creating a community resource to help all writers become fearless professional writers.”
I believe that you have succeeded in those goals. I love that I can submit anything to TBI, and I love the “family” here. You are doing a fab job.
However, I’m not a professional writer. I’m just a guy who loves my words. Logic dictates that I ask for help to accomplish all these goals from those with skill in building an audience, educating writers, marketing articles for views, creating projects, or managing projects.
It is cool that you are asking for help. what you want to do is not easy, but I feel that what you have accomplished so-far is really good.
I do not always write, I write when I can. I love TBI.
Once again — I think that you have done a fantastic job with TBI, LOVE it.
Have a fab day tommorrow.
