The same thing happened to me, Janice. All of my travel stories were chosen for further distribution so ever since the first one I’ve kept the same format. All of a sudden they weren’t “ chosen” any more. What had I don’t differently? Nothing! After a few days I learned they had taken that “chosen” tag away completely. I have no idea why. It was an encouragement like “ well done”. It sort of made my writing feel special or at least half-decent. I’ve given up looking at stats and trying to relate them to earnings. I’ll just take the $$$ and accept some months are not as good as others. It’s not my job, only a hobby.
