Deleting Account?

So, I've become quite discouraged with this site.  Don't get me wrong, I love coming up with original stories to entertain but the problem is I don't know if I do entertain at all.  I know I'm not supposed to resent silent readers but whose to say I even have any at all.  I try to get readers involved but ultimately fail.  However, maybe my mood has more to do with my ultimate place in life right now than the actual lack of reinforcement from this place.  I write because I have nothing much to do and there's always something in my head to keep me busy.  I love JYJ/DBSK just as much as I did before.  Hell, maybe even more.  I've even paid over $100 just to see Xia this coming September.  Writing with them as inspiration is not really any burden. 

 

I don't know.  A little encouragement would be nice.  I do this for my own satisfaction and I love it.  But feedback is important for someone who likes to write.  It doesn't change much but it's nice little push that makes you smile.  And I'm failing to really see much interest in my stories right now.  Maybe I'm impatient.  But why really show these to people if no one really has much interest in them?  I much rather just write for myself and keep them to myself.

It's not about being a good or bad writer. You can be horrible at expressing your ideas but have a great idea to work with. And if you ask me, I think AFF writers have that as basic talent. (^_^)V. I believe the expressive term is 'rough around the edges.' And that's why feedback is important. Because it helps you to know what you need to work on or simply that to someone, somewhere, there is interest. It's not about pleasing everybody. That's impossible. Everyone is different and have many interests and preferences. But I guess,just knowing that someone has the same preference I do would be comforting. That my characters are relevant in some way. Because they are to me. I like to create. And I mostly create for myself. But if I can have someone give a little direction when I'm lost, creating for someone else isn't that bad either.

Thank you @SONICBOMB@ for complementing my writing. You're a sweetheart. I hope the above also helps encourage your writing.
