I took my existing stories and tweaked them a little bit. The entire time I was thinking about writers like you and how well your stories (especially sobriety stories) would do. I don't even think you would need much tweaking. I suspect something is awry as to why they are taking so long to publish your stories. All of your sobriety stories are informational and expert.
I hate writing news so I am playing with what they will accept. I will go follow you now. That's the problem I am having-- only 30 of my 80 folloers are registered so they don't count.
