I've slowed down on my posting again. Sometimes I really just can't make it because of things. And stuff. But I am making the effort today. I've posted many, many times over the last nine years about why it's a good idea to post more (if you can) when Hive prices are low. Even if rewards are lower in dollar value. I think people mostly understand by now.
Anyhow, if you'd like to write a 50 word Zapfic too, all the details are over here.
