readers who don’t purchase
I have mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, I love when people read and enjoy my writing. On the other hand, now that I’m publishing and struggling, it would irk me a bit.
Especially because, before I started publishing I couldn’t get anyone to read my work for free. Yeah, that’d feel like a slap to the face.
I’m not going to obsess about it, though.
