A Nomad Story

2 pointsby jessehorneover 6 years ago
I&#x27;ve recently published my latest article on Medium. It&#x27;s titled &quot;A Nomad Story&quot;. It&#x27;s a real-life story based on my experience as a &quot;digital nomad&quot;. I would appreciate any and all feedback! I just want to be a better writer!<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@jessehorne&#x2F;a-nomad-story-c50a499b4866

In future submit as a link post and comment below seeking feedback. Actually, delete this submission, resubmit as a link post and if you want anyone to read it retitle something more informative&#x2F;clickbaitier.<p>...<p>Having actually read the article I suggest you consider how much you want to be a developer and how much you want to be an activist. Your lifestyle seems so unstable that I imagine a lot of people would read the article and say to themselves “No way am I hiring this person.”<p>The message you want to send may be different but the message I’m receiving is not of a digital nomad, someone who’s making a living off the internet. It’s of a drifter, loosely attached not just to the labour market, but to people and places generally.<p>On the writing itself there’s not that much structure. Beginning, middle and end are lacking. There’s no message or story. It’s a succession of events. Also, you have multiple eggcorns in your writing, where you misheard speech and wrote it down as you heard it, rather than as the expression usually goes.<p>&gt; I told them that I was looking for other opportunities and their draw dropped.<p>It’s jaw, their jaw dropped.<p>All that said you’ve done a lot of writing on medium, way more than I’ve done anywhere but commenting. Good luck and keep going.
