Don't you appreciate getting a 50 claps of enthusiastic support? I know I do. While it's true claps don't matter to the algorithm, I love offering unconditional support within the limits of Medium. Yes reads and engagement are the money makers.

I love writing for its own sake. I have two offerings of long fiction one in Illumination Book Chapters The Green Man of Destiny Chapter 1 or Arc of the Immortals Book 2 -Time Rifts Chapter 40 Breakdown or

an upcoming 3 minute read - The Anti-Suppressant Rag a satire on meds like Anti-Oppressants never released to the public.
