Every year, I craft
a short story
as a thank you gift
for readers.
This short story
costs me about $1,000 US
to craft
and takes 1 month of work.
I give it away for free.
This year’s story has
over 1,000 downloads.
But I haven’t received
any thank yous from readers.
Not one.
There is complete silence.
Which causes me to think
they no longer appreciate
these free short stories.
So next year,
I won’t be crafting one.
Thanking someone
makes a difference.
If you enjoy or appreciate
something,
thank the person
or the company
supplying it.
