I did start a publication soon after I first joined Medium: Minds Without Borders. I applied to join the Boost program in its early days, but never heard back. Once the Boost program came along, I pretty much abandoned my own pub in favor of pubs with Boosting powers, because it seemed like that was going to be the best way to be seen on this platform. But I write a lot of things that don't seem to fit into any particular pub. I've recently begun posting a few more things in my own pub, because I very often write something and realize that's the best home for it.
