I just saw something saying that you shouldn't expect a lot of readers until you have mastered writing and editing. I don't believe this because I posted my first story right after I turned 12. It didn't turn out the way I wanted so I deleted it, and I started the series that I'm writing now, I'm 13 now and I still haven't mastered writing, and I probably will never master writing. why? because no one is perfect and no one can be a "master" at or of something. I think it is horrible how this single person is telling people not to expect much unless they are a master, because I'm sure not a master and I have over 26,000 reads on my first book, and I'm honestly surprised because its a really bad book. but that's just what I think. don't give up on what you believe in, do what you want, publish what you want, be who you want to be. don't go off what other people say, they aren't you and you aren't them, believe in yourself, that's the best thing you can do.
(I know that there are some grammar mistakes, like a said, no one is perfect)
