I'm not into the practice of giving away my work for free

"...fair comment I suppose, but then again how are any of those readers across forumland here ever going to learn how well you write if and when one doesn't first post something of oneself for them to judge one by, and besides, you yourself pointed out to me on your thread just how insidious and encroaching this online was becoming, where only agreeing I merely suggested that you both contribute something here and to think out your persona more, apparently a mistake on my part seeing how loathed you seem to be to either hear me out or make any connection therein..." mused the goblin aware that he too had joined this writer's forum to see which writers were writing what in their posts, adding "...look, I respect you as a persona, and understand too that I could well be addressing some famous author too, yet I'm on your side, because none of your "not in the habit of giving away my work for free" silliness will endear you to those readers who turn up here for you, for what do they see here if you're not here, what will they read if you don't write now, and why should they then stay waiting upon a diva who won't sing a word for them for all her fame..." and with that the goblin was off to reply elsewhere somewhat disappointed at her coldness, saying "...yes the pace is hectic humans, just so many other readers waiting to ignore me still, but even if I were the most ignored goblin in the world who never received a penny for his pains, I would still post on regardless of my reception, guess us goblins are just more tenacious then, and more generous of nature too, than many of you writertypes apparently turn out to be..."
