I love that blog--Don't go anywhere. I'm not. Although, I never did expect to make money here. I like my Hive power because it gives me greater votes. I can upvote more people. I like that, a lot.

When I first started here, 8 years ago, I couldn't get off the ground. It felt horrible. My husband invested a few hundred in me so I'd have more fun. That's all it ever was. Then the price shot up, once, and I thought, wow, I might make money. Then it went down. Back to having fun. Will I make money here? I don't know. As you say, I'm here for the people, for the writing, for the fun.

I hope Hive soars. People need it, and when it's low this place is like a ghost town :) Not me. I blog more when the going is tough. And I blog content that takes a long time to write. Price--not a factor for me.

Hope to see you around in the years ahead. I'm sure I'll expire before my enthusiasm for blogging expires.
