I'd work on it really hard for a period of time and mention and mention it try to get people excited, then I'd post and….nothing. Like…I could hear the crickets chirping. Or, people would be all "yeah I love it I read it!!" and say nothing still. Or just say nothing. And it hurt, often, and I'd lose motivation.
I wonder myself what is it with people these days...(sometimes including myself) I used to write fics too, but I've left it for a long time- I'm used to getting little to no comments...a few people I manage to meet face to face say that they like my fic, and later told me online that they're too shy to comment. I don't know what to think of that. It could be that everyone's busy with real life, or that maybe my stuff sucks, but after a while, I'm also beginning to feel that this is like, kind of $$ *frowns*...*insert whatever adjective you think of here*
It really does hurt when you know there's actually people watching- (according to the counter I've put up at my site) -but just wouldn't speak up for whatever reason. I'd feel down, yes, though I don't feel that I should stop just because they chose to be silent. I should look up to you, Allison- *sorry that I called your name so suddenly. XD)...you're like one the most productive author I've seen. Not just quantity, but quality, too. *hearts*
I'm really looking forward to what this year could bring :D Happy New Year!
