Audrey. I just read a post about the difficulty of getting recognition on any of the on line self publishing platforms, and many unscrupulous people have learned to scam these platforms, making it even more difficult. It gave me pause to think about why I write, but the answer came quickly. I love writing.

I think I read the same post (saw your comment there), and I agree. There seem to be two kinds of writers in self-publishing — those who see it as a way to make money by whatever means, and those who just want to put their writing out into the world of readers, never mind whether it makes money. You and I, and Roger (who wrote that delightful pseudo-Shakespearian piece), belong to the second group. It’s good to know there are quite a few of us.
