I came back to the presidential meme I posted yesterday and realized it looked like I advocated something bad. That was not my intent. This revision, hopefully, shows better what I meant. Basically, I'm dismayed by our choices. Sorry about the former one, folks.

Hey, @deckblue, why is text tripping all over itself across the platform, when I type and in posts? It's really hard to use this way. Spacing is all bad.

I just stumbled upon a self-pubbed book with one of my fave Pixabay images as the cover design. If you're gonna go free, change or add to the image so it's not a straight cut and paste. The last thing you want is potential readers saying hey, I saw OR USED that image... 😖

1. Write story.
2. Struggle to find market.
3. Compromise subbing to a smaller market, deciding it better than nothing.
4. Wait.
5. Find a better market.
6. Can't sub because they don't take sim subs. 🤦🏼
7. Bang head on desk.
8. Write new story.
