As I shared in my recent post, New Year, Old Goals I’m looking to breathe new life into my writing career in 2025. To remain still and stagnant isn't really living after all.

I’m unsure whether to call it my second-act (or is it my third?), some kind of mid-life crisis, or Eric 2.0. Perhaps I just haven’t said everything I’d like to say quite yet. My muse has been particularly chatty lately, which is a wonderful thing.

I’ve been posting sporadically on the Medium platform for over a decade (even before finding Steemit) with little luck but just yesterday become a member and joined their affiliate “Partner” program for the first time. The Partner Program pays writers for the engagement their posts receive. If you enjoy my writing I encourage you to give me a follow over there. I’ll be posting some exclusive content on Medium and just generally experimenting with how the platform works.

Quite honestly, I haven’t felt this kind of enthusiasm for taking things, “to the next level” for quite a number of years and I almost forgot how exhilarating it feels. Life is funny. Just when you think you're going to set your life on cruise-control things can change pretty quickly.

Hive will remain my “home” but as I embark on this second/third-act I could think of no good reason not to branch out and try to reach a broader audience. There are many other exciting opportunities in the works of which I can’t wait to share more about soon! Just to be clear—I have no intention of scaling back or changing my involvement here on Hive in any way in the near future. There's no time like the present to get those cardboard wings a flappin'.

Be well, make the most of this day. Thank you for reading!
