RE: The Immune System: Your Best Friend, Your Worst Enemy
You say "this might seem dull" - not a chance! What a fantastic lead into this magazine-worthy piece. Seriously, there have to be magazines that would pay you for a well-researched and cleverly written article like this. I love the header "Inflammation and Trash Clearance" - the concept of our cells with little brooms whisking away the detritus of living. I love the belated diagnosis of the queen's medical condition. You've put so much time and effort into this and documented all your sources. How many Steemians will see this? How many readers outside of Steemit? You're ready for the big league - a wider audience than any Steemit blogger seems to find. (Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me a lot of good content at Steemit is not seen by many.)
Congratulatios on a well-earned stem-curie (first time I've seen this one). Thank you for your imaginative and informative posts!
(I'm still pondering the inflammation and auto-immune part: Intermittent Fasting seems to help with that, and AIP diet, but we expose ourselves to toxins all the time. Windex. Ammonia. Check out the ingredients label on an bottle of shampoo or lotion. Why, why, why do we smear this stuff on our skin??)
Hi @carolkean,
Thank you for that great critique of my writing. It is something I love to do. The whole process, learning, planning, writing, editing. Just satisfying. And when readers say they get something from it... that's rewarding.
Magazines? That's kind of you. But how? I really don't like rejection. If it happened magically, well, I'd take that :)
I love this community. Some unpleasant aspects, but I don't see them. I just keep my head above the fray and focus on the good stuff. It's a bubble, but it's my bubble. 😇 My days of active employment are long past, and making money from writing at this point seems to be a fantasy--though it is a nice fantasy.
Thank you again, for all your support and kind words. That sure do make a girl smile.
Have a wonderful night.

You sound like me: If it happened magically, well, I'd take that :)

I love your attitude - focusing on the good, avoiding the unpleasant, keeping your head above the fray. It may not make us big fish, but I'm not all that competitive, and I don't try hard enough to "rise to the top" or earn fair wages or any wages for my writing. Should I try harder? Eh. Everyone could do more and do better, but is it worth the effort, the time, the cost (in what ever else is neglected, or the lack of sleep, or the added stress).
Write on!
