I'm tired.

I'm tired.

I'm tired of posting new chapters on AFF.

Why?

Because everytime I post a new chapter I don't get comments at all. 

The amout of comments I get per chapter is like 1 or 2. but most of the time, NONE.

I feel like I wasted my time just to update a good chapter and then get nothing from my readers. It just makes my mood to update frequent go down. 

Then when I don't update in like a month or more I will get comments like 'please update' or 'when are you going to update?' 

Its annoying really. Like is that all you can say about my stories??

Asking me to update is really not motivating at all. It just makes me fell like all my effort to find time that I hardly have to write a good chapter has gone to waste. 

Like why do I even bother to update if my readers don't even bother to comment?

.......

Sigh,I honestly don;t feel like updating any of my stories anymore. 

Don't be suprise if I delete all of my stories next time. Cause I feel like its not worth it.

Hello there! we've never talkrd before but i bumped through your blog and can i just say that i can relate to you so so sooo much?


when i first started writing here, i really wanted the fame i.e. getting a lot of upvotes and a lot of comments.
however, as i write some more, i realise how when it comes to writing, sometimes its not necessarily for the readers. you see, there are times when you would do things for the purpose of satisfying others and some times you do things for you.

well at first, my reason to write was to satisfy everyone: to get people's reviews, to get their comments, to be praised for my writing/stories

but then, after years of writing and sticking to my friends at school, i realise how sometimes, i should really start writing for myself and be grateful for what i have.

i know they say that comments can help to improve your writing and tell you whats lacking and all but usually, we already know whats lacking but we need the confirmation of others to notify us what we need to add more.

i gave up on wanting to receive a lot of comments because really, i get way way wayyyy happier to write when i realise that i am writing for myself. me. my own satisfaction.

there is a saying that says "a writer starts a story, the readers finishes it"

but then again, that saying is simply stupid to me. why? because i write for myself and not to please others :>

i know youre bummed from the lack of comments but sometimes those 2 or 3 comments you receive, those are the kinds that you should be proud of cause someone actually took their time to notice youve updated and actually took their time to read a chapter and actually comment on it ^^

if you need someone to talk to then my pm is always available! have a nice day ahead dear♡

I only read a two of your stories and I like them. I am sorry because I read them quickly off line and then forgot to write comments because they were completed! I hope you will not delete them because they are really appreciated ♡ and also I hope you will not see this la of interaction as a way to abandon your writings.

I can relate to this problem--actually, I think that the majority of writers can relate to this. I understand how frustrating it is when you post a chapter, giddy and excited to read the comments, and get none in return. I'm not going to ask you to continue writing but I'd like to offer some suggestions:

1. If you want to get some feedback you might want to consider getting your story reviewed on a review shop.
2. Or if you prefer something more interactive, give this a try: http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1278295
3. You can also try requesting at comments shop. Since I'm actually a part of one, I'll put the link to our shop here: http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1267390
4. Post on the discussion/blog section that you want to get your story reviewed. I'm sure that there will be some people that are willing to do that.

Please consider them :)

At least domt delete it. Have mercy on the readers..but i guess this should serve as a wake up call to everbody to get out of their cage and to show gratitude. The only thing that is making me continue writing despite the lack of recognition is that i stopped minding others and is just writing because i love doing so. It may be easier said than done but dont give up ur passion.
