I extend my heartfelt gratitude for your continuous support and unwavering enthusiasm for my stories, poems, diary entries, poems, as well as the trash of my day's doings. I have reached the milestone of 2,000 followers.

I wanted to take a moment to address an issue that weighs heavily on my heart. As the number of followers grows, so does the number of talented writers and storytellers I want to follow. We all, I’m quite certain, enjoy getting responses to our posts. I certainly do.

However, with the increasing volume of comments and the demands of daily life, or the hours spent in writing, I find myself struggling to dedicate enough time to respond to each and every one of you. Please know that this predicament deeply saddens me, as my intention has always been to foster connection and engagement with all of you.

I want to assure you that your comments, stories, and words of encouragement are cherished. They inspire me and fuel my creativity every day. Although I may not be able to respond individually as often as I’d like, please understand that your presence and contribution are invaluable to me.

Moving forward, I am committed to finding a balance that allows me to continue sharing stories while also making time to acknowledge the incredible talent around me.

I will explore ways to engage with you further, perhaps showcasing and recommending your work.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for my delayed responses. I genuinely treasure your support and admire the creativity and dedication you bring to the Medium Community.

A great many of you are not just fellow creative writers, you have become online friends, as good as the one I meet on a day-to-day basis.

Your presence and talent here make each day more vibrant and inspiring, and I am eternally grateful for that.

Other wonderful writers engaged in this challenge. Read and enjoy.

More from Harry:

Hey, this is Harry. If I’ve written anything that caught your attention, made you smile, even shed a teardrop, would you buy me a coffee? How? I’ll explain, for a measly $5 you can read anything, all the writers, poets, songsters, idiots, and other monkey business that happens inside Medium. If you choose to join and compliment me by using my link: Harry Hogg, I’ll receive a portion of your membership fee from Medium, a community that keeps its wallet closed tighter than a duck’s arse! Do I need the money? Will I die, starve, and not continue to drink alcohol? No, I’ll still live happily ever after, but with a smile on my face that someone liked what I’ve written and joined up to follow me and the other writers who make up Medium. Com
