Published in Benny’s Writers’ Blokke at the end of November Dakota’s Not Everyone Deserves To Win, pulled me in by the title alone, and isn’t that what titles are supposed to do anyway? There are no participation trophies being handed out here.

Sections that I highlighted:

Not everyone on this platform deserves 100 followers and to be in the partner program.

Being better than most is literally what makes the great, great.

… “I finally hit 100 followers” as if hitting 100 followers means you’re a good writer or going to be successful on Medium.

And last but not least. This little nugget.

If you want to be in the 1%, you have to do what 99% aren’t willing to do. And despite what social media tells you…it’s also still okay to be in the 99%.

She publishes in Writers’ Blokke, Motivate the Mind, and she self publishes.

She writes about her dog. She’s given you four book referrals so if you’re looking for something else to read in addition to her Medium writing… Nashville musicians, what her first day of boating school was like — she’s got it all. Something here will strike your fancy I’m sure!

With 55 followers this is another deserving writer whose voice should be elevated above the noise and heard. Preferably before the MPP Dec 31 deadline.

Do yourself a favor and check her out here.
