So this may be unusual to some, for others it may not. I'm working really hard on this book like reallllllly hard, and I want it to get the credit it deserves. Now although I'm a nice author and work hard for my books so I can entertain you guys---that doesn't put aside the lack of support I get on my books. For this almost completed, well written book (if I do say so myself) I won't allow it!
The numbers--- I know some say don't look at the numbers work on your craft, but I'm working my ass off for this book and I'll be damn if I didn't at least ask to be treated like one y'all favs authors y'all support with a heart beat.
As you can see the eye means who has viewed and read your work and the star is how many voted on it, and the chat comment box is how many commented. I'm sure we all know how wattpad operates, but I want y'all to leave your ghost reader tendencies behind before you read this----support me so I can see if you like the book, it's not that hard. All of this costs you $0 so why make it harder then what it needs to be?
Ghost reading discourages writers from writing period. I know a lot of you think "Well, you should write because it's your passion, not for approval." and I'm here to tell you, that line of thinking is wrong.
Imagine pouring your heart out to someone for hours, giving them your all—only for them to just read the message or reply with a 'K'. You wouldn't like that would you? Now imagine how writers feel when they spend hours on an update to get 1,000 views and only 20 votes with 5 comments. It doesn't seem fair, does it?
Pouring your heart into your work for people to enjoy for free, only for them to not reciprocate that love with a simple vote is very discouraging. It makes you want to not want to write because you feel like you're wasting your time.
I'm a real person who likes to write her heart out, and if you can't realize that by this lil notice then please get tf--- nah I'm just playing. But for real if you haven't learn anything from this just take away that I'm a passionate writer that making sure she gets the credit she deserves.
Thank you for those who DO actually continuously support me I appreciate it a whole lot. But I'ma need for y'all to show more love fr cause I be busting my ass for 0 amount of love.
Thanks For Coming To my Gen Talk ✌🏾
