Well, that is fine! That is not 45 a week! :) Just try it. It may not work, but, I would give it a couple of weeks.
I join some contests but to be honest, I don't have time for most. Some don't require you to post on your profile, just a picture on theirs. Those are the ones I join. :)
Stories are fine. They are not every day. Nothing is hard and fast. Just cut a little and I bet your numbers will pick up. Good luck!!
