Hello fellow writers,
          
          So I just got a short story rejected from a magazine yet again, and it reminded me of the fact that I’ve never successfully published anything. I have been writing for almost a decade now and have completed a number of short stories, poems, and even a novel with a second one in the works as we speak. Still, recently I have started to question if I’m even good at writing. I love to write, and just want to be able to share my works with others, but having never gotten anything published and having no outlet to share my body of works with others has gotten me down. In short, I’m feeling stuck. I want more than anything to continue to improve as a writer and share my work with others, but each time I try and submit work, the result is inevitably the same. Are there any writers that have advice on what I should do? 
          
          Thanks in advance.

          So I have a question for you writers out there. In a thread I ended up sharing my experience trying to get noticed on this platform using the means suggested given the platforms current rules. I said as follows.
          
          “Share your story is good. Clubs are super time consuming, especially if you have school or a job. Beta reads can be good, but you’re usually put either on a list or have to pay as much in services as you would for a read for read or a club. Also, those translate to an additional one or two reads. The system is set so that the audience you are trying to reach will only be met if you are advertised on wattpad’s front page. Additionally, the two ways to do that are have the built in support of a club or through being noticed through the stars program, which tends to favor those who are extremely active on the threads, have books that hit wattpad’s target market of 12-17 year old females, or those who have worked through the ambassadors program. This isn’t me complaining. This is me pointing out that you can be successful on wattpad if you treat it like a full time job, or whenever people start to recognize that the system is flawed and that wattpad needs to expand its target market which would only help the site anyway, and allow them to offer more to authors. Alternatively, you can just write smut and get tons of reads and a following. That’s honestly the easiest way.” 
          
          In saying this, I honestly didn’t mean to be controversial. I really was trying to state what I have observed. However, I know this is one personal observation, and so I can’t help but wonder if you guys agree or not. I would love to hear your replies. I would appreciate it if we could keep this discussion civil, as I know it has the potential to get heated, but I also know that it could be a very beneficial conversation to have and I do welcome all opinions. I hope you’ll comment and let me know what you think.

@RPS720 As an author who writes sci-fi, I believe what you're talking about is very informative. It's quite frustrating to get more reads on this platform. I know that my genre is not all that popular in comparison to other genres, but even my teen fiction novel lacks traction. (Granted, I don't promote it all that much)  I have entered this work in some competitions but I lost practically all of them so far.

@RPS720 i totally agree. i, myself like to read a lot of stories with a sadistic, obssessive.. you get what i'm trynna say that kind of characters, and yeah they do get a lot of reads, also if it's a fan fictions of some popular band / series etc then there's a high chance that the book, no matter how poor the writing is, will get higher reads than some really good books.

Also, those do tend to get an incredible amount of reads, regardless of the writing quality.
