That’s alright, no one understands now. Certainly there’s no correlation between curation and appreciation, or appreciation and reading and payment, or anything I can see — other than if you post very frequently, once a day or more, and you’re consistently publishing, every day, every week, you should be getting something ;)
One day there’ll be a new site, geared toward fiction, poetry and creative nonfiction writers, with ties to publishers, agents, editors, illustrators and distributors and that will help all of us!
