It takes me over an hour just to catch up with messages every morning, and I don't know what to do because the engagement is important. I respect people's efforts to read, and if I engage more, there will be more messages. And I like it, but you know... I was down by 8.20 and now it's 10.20 and I haven't done anything except check and respond to medium messages. This is not even writing time. Although normally, it only takes an hour. I'm torn. I feel my conflicts could make a good article, though.

Oh and last month was good because I got two Christmas boosts on republished stories (third time lucky) but this month looks dire. I won't be earning $400 this month unless something changes dramatically.
