I finished and submitted my 40th short story of the year a few minutes ago. It's a 700-word bit of literary crime fiction I started writing on Thursday. I sent it to a non-paying, on-line literary publication.
I'm not opposed to writing for non-paying markets; I am opposed to paying someone to publish my work.
There are a variety of reasons why I might submit work to a non-paying market. In this case, the story I wrote did not seem appropriate for any paying markets. On the other hand, I knew of a few non-paying markets that might be interested. My choices: either submit it to the non-paying markets or stick it in the filing cabinet and wait until I found an appropriate paying market.

Kept waiting for somebody else to ask, but since nobody did ...
Why did Mr. Money Flows TO the Writer submit to a non-paying market?!

So, off it went.
Thanks for taking time to explain.
