Remember I was doing a little writing? Started a novella series but there was no readership at all. None. Couldn’t even get a BAD review.
Well, part of an earlier strategy was to post it on Wattpad and link to buy the rest of the story. Still no readership. Wattpad is flooded with young adult vampire sex stories so what did I expect.
But, I got a glowing review for the one chapter excerpt I posted. That made me feel good.
Look, I told you I have some talent in writing if only people actually, you know, READ, my work. If my stuff is read, and they take time to review it, it’s usually positive. The issue I have been going through was years of no one even reading the work. How the hell people get 1.2k readers and all sorts of votes on Wattpad is unknown to me. Especially when it’s all the same crap. It’s not beyond me to believe that the readership counts are fake — but still.
So, the other week, when I was taking down all social media works (including all Amazon books I published) I forgot about Wattpad and the review came in.
I thanked that reviewer. I was deeply moved that they even cared to write. For that person, I posted the complete novella (instead of just the excerpt). One reader is better than none.
