Honestly Kristina, I've just come to the conclusion and accepted the fact that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. Medium currated some of my stories, so they lead the horse to the water. But once the story is there - on the front page for a HOT minute - if the readers don't pounce on it like they should, the story loses that coveted place. As far as I can tell, that's how it goes, and for now, I'm simply dealing with it, and continuing to write what I feel compelled to write :-)
