What changed on my mind (for now ig idk)

 

Hello again. This time it's more like a defeated blog (sorta). Just to get things outta my chest. If some of you didn't know, I'm on board with the 'AUTHORS FEELING TAKEN FOR GRANTED THX TO SILENT READERS' thingy and i've been vocal about the whole issue with some other authors here. It's unfair, tiring and making us feeling sad with all the silent treatment on our stories, yadaa yadaa u get the drill bcoz this isn't something new and not something people here don't know about.

 

I've been juggling my time in college for the past few months to write smtgh out. ANYTHING. But the number of words i wrote keep decreasing and decreasing to the point one day it stopped. I've stopped writing. Busy with exam and college is part of it but also bcoz i think 'will it be good enough to make them comment/say smtgh about my story? will it be good enough to get their attention?' After my sem break (which is now) i try writing again and dang it takes me like 1 week just to finish 3 paragraph thats not even more than 1k words! I realize it's so bad. Idk if i can even continue my contract with webnovel at this rate. This entire experience here really affected my debut novel progress. The only thing motivating me is the few names of them showing me endless support here and on twitter. I will never be able to repay u guys. <3

 

Silent readers tire me everytime. I'm so tired tht ive come to the point where i dont care anymore. Just whatever. Do whatever u wanna do. You wanna read without commenting a single word then go ahead. Just do whatever u want selfish folks.

 

 

 

PS: Just to clarify silent readers are NOT those who read late on a story they subscribed. People have life, but those that able to read but not leaving any ways of appreciation is the worst.

Dont mind them ms authornim, they cant understand a simple appreciation like a simple "thank you" means a lot for writers like you..
anyway hope you doing ok, get enough rest and time for your self to enjoy this break from your college life..
Always remember those people who comment and support you all thru the way. Fighting!

Try blocking those who don't comment on your stories and let's see what happens lol. Silent readers are here to stay whether we like it or not so if the number of subscribers, views and upvotes aren't enough for you, maybe AFF should add a kudos button like AO3 so you'd feel the love a bit better. If your hate towards silent readers is greater than your love and inspiration to write stories, maybe you should rethink if you're still going to write or not. You hold the pen (or the keyboard), it's your choice.

I always find it very selfish and rude to read a story without even a thank you. The author who has invested time, emotions and a part of himself in the story. The author has spent hours on a story, the least you can do is to thank him. Moreover it is so rich to exchange with the authors. So I completely understand your "outcry" and I support you 100%.

I'm happy to hear from you, Penguin, I hope you have been well 💙💙💙 I'm sorry writing has been a struggle for you - I kind of went through that too where my writing has just decreased but I think that's for a different reason, but still it is annoying. I have to applaud you for continuing to spread the message about silent readers 👏 👏 👏
I'm going to share your blog on my feed, once again I hope you've been well either way (sounds like it's been stressful for you but I'm wishing you well 💙💙💙💙)
