Loose Change

To Duotrope or Not to Duotrope

I am faced with a dilemma. I used to use Duotrope when they were free. I submitted hundreds of times, and got many, many stories and poems published, and a lot of them I found through Duotrope.

Then I stopped submitting (and slowed way down writing), and somewhat coincidentally, Duotrope started charging $5/month.

Now, I've been writing more. I'm starting to get a little bit of an urge to submit more. I signed up for the free one week trial on Duotrope, and it still looks very handy, but in a few days, I'm going to have to fish or cut bait. If I pay for it, it will drive me to submit more, but I may feel pushed rather than inspired. I can afford the $5, but should I?

Having trouble deciding.
