Excellent advice. I remember when I first joined the platform and I was green with envy over some writers and hoped against hope that maybe I could have 500, maybe 1000 followers, just like them. You know what I did? I read their stuff. I interacted witht them. I read other people's stuff that I liked. I wrote a lot of stuff.

Hating on other writers is short-sighted. iI smacks of fear. It's only those that feel they can't measure up that resort to hate. There's room here for all of us and I'm living proof.
