I'm 9 months in medium. I thought I'd comment because in some ways I'm an sort of an extended version of your experience. Keep at it. Write like it matters to you. June was my "breakout" at $12.74. But July will be about $200 (I did not qualify for the new $200 minimum). I followed some good avice from other writers, and am starting to see some progress. Take care, stay healthy, and keep at it.
