Hey @jeezzle it makes me sad when fiction on steemit doesn't do well but like you said, such is life. There are only a few people on steemit that makes money with fiction. Hopefully when communities come in then things will change. I just post whatever I want all the time, but I seem to be winning. I have worked very hard to make a success of this and my view on steemit has not changed. Write what you love and forget about the rewards. Eventually if you stay consistent and clean, then it will pay off. Just keep on writing you stories...hard work always pays off.
