We all spend a lot of time here and have had a lot of questions. If you’re looking for answers about this awesome platform, try this list.
Grammar, Language, and Writing Tips
I’ve been a professional writer for over 50 years, so I learned a LOT from some kickass (literally) editors. Happy to share to help you grow your audience.
Human Creativity
Stories for, by, and about humans and the creativity that puts joy in our world. Maybe one is about you!
Stories that Make a Difference
Writings from some of the most impressive writers on Medium. A few are my stories, but most are from you people I read daily.
Veterans and Military — People who serve and sacrifice
My family members have been in military service since the American Civil War. In this list, you learn how America treats them—the good, the bad, and the appalling.
Make Money Writing
The longest and most popular list. You can pick up secrets that will increase the return you get from your writing no matter where you write.
Artificial Intelligence vs. Human Intelligence — the humans are still on top
I’m passionate about this. You can find out what’s happening in this controversial space and how humans will triumph. Important stuff for every creative worker.

Tools — not the human kind
Stories I’ve saved for myself because they solve problems that stumped me. I’ll bet you find an “Aha!” here.
Living Every Moment
Heartfelt, funny, or scary moments from life — often tagged “This happened to me.” I love writing these. You’ll like reading them.
World Travels
My most recent topic. I’ve been all over the world in weird ways and in strange places. A bellbottom- and bead-wearing old hippie’s backpacking take on going places.
Food as Entertainment
Never know what you’ll find to read in here. Some recipes, a dozen uses for banana peels, how food plays into sex. Sometimes I just think odd things.
Stuff that Keeps Me Sane
In a turbulent life, we all need grounding, especially me. These are the down-to-earth coping strategies that can really work for you.
