I finally published my months old medium drafts!

Hi everyone, I hope you are doing fine. Amid the lockdown I was reading articles over articles on medium and when it struck to me that I myself have a few drafts on Medium that I never published. Polished them a bit and published them ASAP, although they are a little less relevant now but anyway I did what I should have done earlier.

Here are a few points I learned:

1. Don't think no one is going to read your article. Now there is a high chance that your article might not go viral. But hey, even if 100 people read it, I think it is great because everyone starts from zero. And this is your zero.

2. Move it out of the draft, please. I know it is tempting to write the perfect article that is flawless but please when you feel like you are spending too much time on a single article just hit the publish button. You can always edit it later. Few likes are better than none.

3. Images. Use plenty of images in your articles because reading can get boring quite fast.

4. Leverage your tools. Medium gives plenty of tools like embedding images, codes, snippets, headings, quotes. Use them so that you can break the monotony of your article.

5. Use links. Link to your socials.

Do you also find yourself in such a situation or is it just me? :P

That being said if you want to check it out and give that not so great article a bump you are most welcome:
