While I was asked quote often initially for my articles, only the one in history got a few claps. They just essentially vanished from site. Publications have never helped me. It's almost as if they asked me for my writing so that they could hide it. I can't see how publications that have so many followers dont' get reads for my articles. Now I just publish to my own magazines and I do okay.

As I don't advertise anywhere (I have never promoted my writing), it has to be a combination of occasional distribution and people liking my work.
