I've been away from Medium for a few months but recently returned ready to get writing and get amongst it.
I too have noticed that as soon as you start to become more involved in the platform the energy is returned 😁. It's great.
Anyway, I hope you're feeling better now and are getting back on track with your Medium journey 👍.
(Also, top tip to use reading on Medium for sparking new writing ideas. Love it 😁)
