Sometimes I feel like no one cares about my stories.
          
          I always have to beg my friends all the time and keep reminding them to read them, because they constantly forget. I guess my stories aren't good enough for them to remember or be interested.
          
          I don't expect people to be crazy about my Slenderman story; that's simply supposed to be practice. I want to write more mediocre story ideas until I'm experienced enough to work on my better, original story ideas. However, the other two stories I've published need feedback, as they are very important to me, and I consider them as milestones, as I am still in the beginning stages of my writing career.
          
          And yet, no one has given me feedback. I post my stories in many places and tell my friends, but no one ever tells me what they think or give advice.
          
          I'm sorry I sound like a whiny bitch, but I've never been good at holding back my insecurities. My mom reads my stories and tells me they're really good, but there's a difference between your mother complimenting you and strangers giving feedback. Besides, my mom doesn't know how to give detailed feedback anyway.
          
          Sorry for the long post; I appreciate it if you took the time to read it all. I guess I just felt like venting.

I wish I could change my username; I'm not really comfortable with my real name being public :/

(I accidentally deleted your comment, Animal_lover; still new to Wattpad and it lagged. Sorry :/)

The quality of my chapters right now may not be the best quality, as I'm set on getting it all out there first, and then editing it, while also taking suggestions from people critiquing it. I know this is an amatuer thing to do, but I'll see how it works out and then decide if it's best to edit first, and then post later. And by editing, I mean word or phrase changes here and there; the main idea will 99% of the time be fully formed before posting the chapter. I also like how, on Wattpad, you can edit parts you have already published; they know that there's people who will probably publish before making further edits.
          
          ...do I sound like an idiot? I probably sound like an idiot for doing it like this ;-;
