I took a copywriting course recently (it wasn’t cheap), only to discover that I really don’t want to write in someone else’s voice about stuff they want to sell — even if I’m paid for it. I have too many things I want to say in my own voice and Medium looks like a good place to start. I don’t want to cheat myself out of any money that might come from that, but I can’t string any words together based on anything but what has meaning to me. First comes meaning and beauty, and second comes money. It has to be that way, period.
