I woke up on this day to see that I now had 3.17k reads which I was ecstatic about, but I was also a little dejected by the fact that I only had 199 votes. Usually I tell people it's good to have votes that are equivalent to 10% of their reads, and so using that theory I should have been on 300 votes. But I was 100 below that.

Nevertheless, I still felt very proud. It was coming to the end of this challenge, with only one day left, and I began to wonder what was next. I already knew I wanted to write a new book on this new account but I had no ideas. This challenge had affirmed to me however that getting reads is possible.

I was quite shocked when I looked at my chapters and realised that the chapter I had posted 2 days before had 74 reads on it. That's a lot of people, I thought to myself as I began to finally plan the end of the book.

Statistics at the end of day twenty nine:

3,390 reads

127 followers

Lesson learnt: Votes take a lot longer to come.
