A fellow writer
always asks me
to help her promote
her new releases.
So I asked her
to do the same
for me.
I never heard from her
again.
Many of us know
people who constantly ask us
to do things for them
and yet
never seem to volunteer
to do that same thing
for us.
The easiest way
to stop them
from asking for free labor
is to ask them
to provide free labor.
Ask the favor asker
for a favor.
