I've been writing for over 20 years but more of a means to empty my mind of the clutter that was keeping me from being a productive member of society. No sense of spelling or punctuation, nothing in the way of learning the "writer's jargon" or breaking into the field. There was never a thought of being or becoming a writer until a few years ago when the thought came to me about putting everything I've written so far into book form. Still working on those goals one word at a time.
Your embeds
Create embeds to include your shared stories around the web, outside of ManyStories.
For example, you can create an embed of stories you'd like your readers to read next, after reading an article on your blog.
Just share your stories on ManyStories, create your embed, copy the link, and paste it in your Medium article or as the "src" of an IFrame on your website.
