You have a lot of integrity, but I'm not going to be Polyanna and say, "stick with it, the money will come." Because it may not. I do want to make some real money on here, and I have, but something's changed. So I'm going to branch out and see how else I may make some money from writing.

And I loathe those people you speak of in my highlighted section. Some of them do not even seem to edit. Hell, I paid out of pocket for Grammarly Premium! In fact, now that I think about it, I think I'll use that as a tax deduction.

Also, while I will follow you, I may not read your work. Why? It's not you, it's all of the writers I follow. Sure, I put in my reading time every day, but there are other demands. I can't be reading and writing all day every day, when there are things to do, and life to be lived.

I hope things get better for you!
