You can have a different experience, no matter what anyone else is doing

Am author friend doesn’t like free books and believes they are detrimental to her as a published author.  I believe she can have a different experience, regardless of what anyone else is doing.  I remarked, “Changing your focus away from resistant thought on that topic will give you more success on that topic. Consider maybe your great good fortune wasn’t meant to come from your writing, but something else entirely. In that case, you’d write for the joy and sharing of the journey, and let the dollars flow from whatever other source it wants. If you don’t look at writing as a source of $$, the game changes, entirely. Writing is not your supply, God/Source is your supply. Everything you need will pour out of you, just as the oak tree pours out of the acorn. When I finally “got” that, my world changed. Don’t let the topic of free books make you think your books will get any less attention. It won’t unless you firmly believe it will.”
