You are so not alone... And our FoM money - what a joke. My membership is not paying writers 4 x the regular amount, unless the regular amount is 1/98th of an effing penny.

I'm not writing here anymore - apart from the weekly FLF prompt, as I told Arpad I'd help with that. And I deleted about 400 of my stories. Still have over 200 here, hoping to claw back a few bucks till my FoM expires in Sept.

Google "websites that pay more than $50 per article" - there are a lot of them. YourTango pays $75.
