Everyone please keep posting your stories. Please do not give up. 
          	I see so many good stories here on Wattpad that haven't got many readers. I don't know what advice to give to get more readers for your fantastic stories. 
          	But please keep posting. 
          	
          	I know that giving up is not the answer. 
          	
          	I posted a story a few years ago and manage to get 1000 reads by doing read for reads. I'm not saying do read for reads and I'm not saying don't do them. Do what you think is best for your stories. 
          	
          	I removed the story because: 1. I couldn't think of what to write further even though I had a outline. I guess in a way I was giving up on the story. 2. I started to see my story as badly written. 3. I started to feel like the story was not appropriate for Wattpad. I removed it with the intention of reworking it, toning some of the scenes down and actually finishing the whole book before reposting it. I have not reposted it and still haven't finished it. 
          	
          	There are so many stories here that deserved to be read and published.

I know I have to spend a lot more time on Wattpad. 
          I appreciate all followers & sorry I haven't been giving everything the attention I should. 
          I've been so busy with work. I've been so busy trying to write a story to post here & finish at least 20 paintings to sell in the spring. 
          
          I want to dedicate at least 2 or 3 hours each day to Wattpad.

I looked at my follower list. 
          There are about 9 profiles that say 'follow' next to them. I don't understand that. I have not clicked to unfollow anyone yet. I'm going to click to follow those profiles now. I'm comparing my follower list and following list because I've lost 2 more followers. 
          
          But I should be currently following everyone on the follower list.

I've lost 2 more followers since I've been away. Its now 108 followers. I'm tired of people saying they will do a follow for follow, then unfollowing me as soon as I follow them. 
          
          I can't do a read for read right now. Sorry. 
          
          You know I'm going to do? I'm going to methodically go down my follower and following list to compare them. Then I'm going to go on a unfollowing spree. 
          
          Sorry if this offends anyone. But I: 1. let my followers post links to their stories on my page. 2. I vote on their stories when I see notifications regardless that I do not currently have a story that requires vote for vote. I give that vote for free without expecting a vote for vote. 
          
          Unfollow me if  you want. That's your choice & your right. Its my right to unfollow back.

Someone unfollowed me. 
          I'm sure it was 111 last time I was here. 
          Say still here if you see this notification. 
          I won't immediately unfollow you if you don't say 'still here'. But I'm going to unfollow people that have unfollowed me. I'm going to check my follower and following list. 
          Unfollow me and I'll unfollow you.

@Spiritsx The Yard is another good story you wrote. I suggest it to everyone. I feel so bad for the dog in the story when she's put into the pen with all the other dogs. Just a little puppy. Poor thing. I'm going to leave some votes on Angel  Dog.

My followers are allowed to leave links to their stories on my profile. I give this right to only my followers as a special treat. 
          I don't know what Wattpad's policy is on leaving links to your stories on someone else's profile. But I personally am okay with it. I myself will not remove your link to your story from my page if you are my follower. 
          So, advertise your story here if you think it might get your story more views.

@ambermay44 thank you so much! That’s very kind of you

I found at least 1 person that has unfollowed me. I'm checking my following list at random and comparing it to my follow list. 
          
          I said I would: vote on up to 5 chapters if someone followed me and I would follow them back. I did that. I also go beyond that because I will also come back to someone's story when I see update notifications and leave more votes. I've also sometimes left comments on the stories although I never promised comments in exchange for a follow. 
          
          This is mainly a comment on the read for reads I did in the past. When I was doing read for reads, I also actually did full fill my promise about the read for reads. I said I would read at least 5 chapters, leave comments and votes. I did for every book I did a read for read with. Vice versa, I expected no more than 5 chapters of my own story to get the same treatment. Nothing was said to me about further chapters. Had anyone said to me 'I expect you to read more chapters than 5' I would have read more chapters, left votes and comments. I am sorry if I failed on the read for reads. The list got up to about 32 or 33. It overwhelmed me. Then it kind of did became of apparent maybe some people did expect me to read the whole book although that's not what we agreed upon. I left Wattpad for about a year and when I came, I had every intention of finishing each book on that read for read list. I have finished 5 so far. 
          
          I actually go beyond what I agreed to on read for reads. I go beyond it because as soon I see notifications, I leave votes on more chapters than what was agreed upon. 
          
          All that was about read for reads. I don't mind to do them to support everyone's stories and to support mine. But I'm unable to do them right now. Maybe later
          
          I'm also allowing my followers to leave links to their stories on my profile page. Its okay with me if you advertise story here. I personally don't care if you want to leave a link. Leave a link to your story.
