Thank you @jerrytsusser :) it's been a pleasure following your work on Steemit! While your friends and I would be the first in line for a copy of your book, I definitely understand why you made that decision.
It seems this is the way marketing is going, and I think it's time for writers to think unconventionally if they want to find a more meaningful following.
In truth, the comments and shares of my posts have dwindled to almost nothing in the last week or so.
Very discouraged at this point. :(Thank you for the compliment @sarahtops9000. It is heartwarming to think that there are really people following me.
It has been a bit dry lately :( I'm hoping to keep active and supporting other's content as much as I can.
