I’m A Top Economics Contributor for Medium!!

Only two people know the back story to this. My girlfriend and my daughter. I’ll tell it here.

On New Year’s Eve, daughter and I stayed home. It was raining here and she didn’t want to go anywhere. We had our own little party. Sparkling juice, pigs in blankets and popcorn. After MN, I checked my email. Had one from earlier in the evening from Medium. Looked at the title. Hmm? I opened it. It was notifying me that I had been named one of their top economic contributors for the year!

Now, that is how to start a New year!

Okay, here come the disclaimers. First of all, I don’t know what criteria they use to determine this. Neither am I going to read up on it because I don’t want to ruin it for myself if I don’t like it. The tag is now on my page for an entire year and knowing will not change that. I’m going to be happy with it and move on. It does help me with my single NY Resolution which is to expand my reach with my writing this year and try to make a living wage from my writing alone. Maybe add some related activities at some point if I can brand myself more effectively. Being able to devote all my work time to writing would make me a more effective writer.

Economics is not my major focus. I understand economics better than the average American, yes. However, I see economics as integral to the workings of society. That is my major focus. Society, equality across the spectrum is my personal focus.
