Unfortunately, I had already manifested, through my furiously dancing fingertips, a 2,700 word essay pointing out the ignorance I felt strongly present in the magazine article, only to find there was no way to share it — cue Medium.com. Finally, the medium apps allow readers to bookmark a story, and even archive it for later use, both of which are useful in reading your publication as a book.

The one problem I was confronted with was that the long urls of each story do not always work in the apps. (I know not why) Instead, you have to use a short url, consisting of only the unique identifier of each article, if you want to create a “table of contents” to directly link to stories. Here is how I do this: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s January projection would surpass the nearly 61,000 deaths in April when the pandemic first exploded in the United States and flooded New York City hospitals. The University of Washington’s latest prediction model projects the death toll, which had held at a monthly pace of more than 22,000 for most of October, will start climbing next month towards a new record of more than 72,000 in January. Icame to Medium out of frustration. I had read an article in an online “prosumer” magazine that has the air of a serious scientific journal, but which fails to encompass the heart of science — the debate — by disallowing any comments or unsolicited rebuttals/responses to their articles.In the end, I give Mr. Alexander immense credit for his intense effort and determination to write his life story. Had a shadow-writer interviewed Mr. Alexander, gathered up the details of his life story, and then composed the book, a much better result would have resulted. How to Publish a Structured Book on MediumAs for the nuts and bolts of doing it, there are three main issues you have to deal with: Medium is structured to publish “stories” of a limited length, so your work has to be forced into that format; Medium does not provide the kind of navigational tools that are available in an ebook; and readers on Medium don’t expect an article to be part of a larger work. The final piece of the navigation puzzle is to use another hyperlinked attribution line (as in the above examples) to the next article in sequence within the book at the end of the article. I do this before any footnotes, above the footer for the publication. Here is what it looks like: The book also doesn't go into much his adult life, it sort of glances at his stay at University of Texas and then abruptly comes to an end. There is a timeline at the end of the book and it seems that he doesn't cover much of anything passed 1973! Sequel material?

The downside to that is that such unlisted stories are unavailable for generating income through the Members program of Medium. Reading about Mr. Alexander's life, you wish you could meet him. He did everything possible to expand his life beyond the limits of the iron lung, continuing his education and experiences as much as possible. He was fortunate to have amazing parents and siblings, as well as caregivers and friends along the way. There are a few good books Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung BY Paul R. Alexander out there.Like, I literally feel my IQ go up while reading the book Three Minutes for a Dog: My Life in an Iron Lung BY Paul R. Alexander. The government’s response to this economic crisis has benefited large corporations and wealthy Americans, while leaving behind many disadvantaged communities and struggling small businesses,” the report said.
