@purpleskies In my opinion, you write for yourself. I've been through the same thing when I wrote my first story. Not a lot of reads but then people started reading. Be patient, everything will work out.
But if you're that determined to take off you're stories because you lost its touch then .mm do whatever you want but do not stop writing once and for all.
And I repeat everything will work out chica, just have the enough patience :)
