This image issue is probably the biggest factor in my 6-month long "writing block". I came across an article about an author having legal issues from using an image from Unsplash. I've got a vision impairment so images were the biggest pain in writing articles, but using Unsplash made it tolerable. Now, I just don't want to deal with images at all.
If I am to keep writing, I'll just have to stop submitting to publications and just self-publish. It's not like I'm making any serious money from writing. It's just a hobby--so why would I risk legal issues for images? Like I've said in some other responses, we're adults now and should not need images in our reading material.
