You know, two days ago was my 5 year anniversary on this platform. A lot has happened in that time, when I struggled to find an audience, to where I am not with over 4k lovely followers. I've always appreciated every one of your reads, follows, votes and comments, and I'll keep doing my best to give you more things to read that keep you entertained.
On another note, I know that quite a few of you are trying to write some books too, and it isn't always easy. For the first year and a half, I struggled to find an audience, and I realize that it can be frustrating to get your books out there. But, don't give up hope. I would tell you to keep writing, write things that you would like to read so that you feel motivated to get to the ending for your own satisfaction. Join a book club, try to cultivate relationships, leave comments that let others see your thought process. Do NOT give up, ever. Keep writing, and your audience will find you, even if it takes time. I wish you all the success in the world, because I know it isn't always easy to open yourself up to the feedback that comes with sharing your creativity with others. But it is worth it. And for those of you that want to write, but haven't taken the plunge, give it a shot. Even if it is a one shot or a short story, dip your toes in the pool and see what you can come up with.
I wish you all the best of luck, and a very happy year to come!
