My last two pieces were "chosen for further distribution" honestly no difference whatsoever Terri! I haven't been as active this month with publishing so my comparatively meagre earnings are down too, you are right it is all about staying active. I don't feel my read/comment rate is reciprocated much at this stage so it does motivate me less to take the time to comment I admit, especially as I don't have the app. Anyway, well done on your progress!
