Interesting. I write from my heart, but I do tons of research on what I am writing about. Most of my articles have lovely comments from readers. I also receive lots of "claps" on responses that I write on other people's articles. I love the community here. I post several times a week. I spend at least an hour a day reading other peoples articles. My average monthly monetary reward is less than $10. But, my writing is therapy for me, and I don't even look at my stats.
