Tried to post a book in writing resources today that I thought a lot of folks would find useful. After not being successful uploading the post, I realized that the rules state that only free resources may be posted. This book is $4.99.
I think I understand why the rule is in place (to stop self promotion to affiliated resources or predatory practices) but this rule (#5) seems a bit too restrictive.
The item in question, is an Emotion Thesaurus that I have no affiliation to at all. Simply speaking, I notice a lot of conversation in showcase discussing how to show character emotion without telling. Seems like this could be helpful to a lot of writers.
Since MS has a lot of active moderators, why is this rule in place and/or why is it restricted so tightly? Seems like this forum is of limited value if only free resources may be posted & only a handful of members can start a new thread.
Please advise.
