This is such a fun website. I am going to try this. Right now am looking for an editor for my book manuscript, but I also have a number of short stories and will be a “pubsubber” for those. I believe any action creates momentum, so it’s good to get started. Fun to have others doing the same thing, too. Great website, Joan; thanks!!
