The Medium Partner Program — I’m In!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to my successful application to the Partner Program by following me, clapping and reaching out.

At Cannes Film Festival, and what I would wear if Medium wanted to meet me ;)

Medium has been described as the ‘YouTube’ of blogging!

Frankly, that description intrigued me! Also, the reality that there was a small enough threshold to pass &enter the Partner Program tickled my fancy, too! I guess it was clear that Medium is growing, and it is a perfect time to get in now and make a go of writing on at least a part-time basis until I can go full-time.

Writing has always been the foundation of my creative work as a filmmaker.

It’s a tool for creativity and therapy too, and that’s been a mainstay in my life; when in doubt, write it out! Writing is where my whole creative process started seventeen years ago. A millionaire friend of the family always said, “A good manager thinks on paper!” that always stuck with me. Writing is a vital tool for me; it’s my creative flair and bread and butter. It provides so many outlets.

On set directing a short film which was written by myself too!

That brings me to my gratitude for getting involved with Medium at this stage of my life, as it’s an important year.

I am thrilled to write this way, to have an aim and purpose because of the Partner Program. And yes, there’s no way of knowing what will come of it, and I don’t care too much about outcomes, although we all have idealised versions of end-goals in what we want to achieve. But the process is far more critical in the grand scheme of things. What we leave behind is what creates legacy and original work. To try to achieve specific superficial stuff as the end goal is fine; nothing wrong with that, but what are we doing along the way? Will that be worth something to someone later? Will it inspire, entertain or educate them?

Thanks again, everyone! Well done, writers of Medium.

You provided a nurturing community, and we are helping each other reach a place where we can focus on the writing and the reading. I cannot wait to spend more time with all of you.

Yours, Bertie.
