Eric is so awesome.
It's true that blogs do better than fiction, just as posts about crypto do better than anything else. But for me fiction is what I most enjoy, so while I will do blogs I will never give up on my stories, and it does eventually pay off. When people see you consistently in those tags you build a following and the rewards grow. And believe me, it is an awesome feeling to be recognized for doing something you love, much more so than a higher payout for a post you felt 'meh' about making.
But of course it's up to you. I am glad to see you trying though :)
