I've been here awhile, and know what you mean.
I just keep on writing, and hoping at least some of my posts get a big cha-ching. Poetry, philosophy, science, technology, and short stories are my thing, so I'd like to think more people are interested in my content.
But eh, I'll let the market decide.
Yeah, I just keep on going aswell. Sadly it's not all about the topics and quality anymore and a lot is about who you know (well, who knows you), aswell. I hope you get some big breaks!
