Hey guys.
I'm just gonna get right to the point with this.
I'm losing my motivation to write. I've been getting a bit discouraged by the fact that I don't have very many readers. As selfish as that sounds, it's the truth, and I hate it.
I'm so grateful to my friends who read my story, but because it's basically only people I know reading it, I feel sort of unfulfilled.
My one friend started suggesting I follow a bunch of people hoping they follow back, but I dismissed the idea. I don't want followers, I want readers. Readers who follow me for my talent, not just a "follow for follow."
As time passed I got to the point where I would pick up my laptop to write, then thought "What's the point?" And put it down.
So I finally took her advice. I followed a bunch of people hoping they read my fanfic. It's a pain to admit, but it's true.
Now I feel like a fraud. I started thinking, "If I were a good writer, I wouldn't have to do this."
I'm at the point where I'm not sure what to do. I don't have any motivation, no inspiration. I love writing. This is what I've wanted to do since Ninjago first came out, but it pains me that I'm only writing for the eyes of two people. Both of which are my friends.
Now that I'm nearing the end of this post, I'm not sure what to say. Do I end it with a plea? "Please, I beg you to read A Fading Light."
No, too desperate.
I'll leave off with a question of how.
How can I improve to make my story worth reading? I desire feedback so I can tweak my story so more people will read it.
I enjoy writing. A lot. Now, I want others to enjoy what I write. It has been a passion of mine for the longest time, and I intend to improve myself until it becomes reality.
Thank you.
