Ask A Writer With Sean Kernan

How to keep the reader in an effortless flow to the very end of the piece so that there are no "record scratches" that make them hop on to the next post. Some of your long Quora answers accomplish this (like the rodeo one). I am wondering how you would explain what you did there. 

I really enjoy your writing on Medium.com as you cover many different interesting topics . . . I would like to do that myself but all the advice I read tells me I need to focus on one topic to be able to monetise my writing. If you are okay with answering, I was wondering what is the main way you are able to make money from your writing? Thank you, Nyx.

As a freelance writer, my income has always been inconsistent. I am new on Medium but after interacting with other writers, I have been informed to keep my monetary expectations low. 

Like I know that I want to write about it but the words just won't come.
