I agree. My stack is free, and each time I get a new subscriber who has discovered something I've posted, it's a thrill. I decided not to turn on payments the day I opened my stack. It was all about getting the work out there. Turning fear of rejection on its head...leaving it in the dust.

I chalk up rejections to sending my work to the "wrong" online/print magazines or journals because I misjudged the content editors like.
