Biased readers
I know that I should have not complained about my readers. It is their right to read what they want. But sometimes it is sad to see they read and comment on other stories and not mine when all this while they said they like my story.
It is also sad to see readers who really push me to accept their ideas and when I did use their ideas in my story, they do not even care to leave a comment (to shich I think they did not read my story).
Sometimes, this kind of readers makes me want to give up updating my stories, but luckily there are still readers who awaits and always comment on my stories and because i really love writing, I continue this journey.
It's not that I sell my story, it is free to be read. Leaving a comment does not cost you to pay. It also did not used your karma points. I always leave a comment on the stories I read even with a simple thank you because I know that it can lighten up the author's day. It shows them that someone is reading their story.
So you know now why sometimes it takes me a long time to update because of the respond on my stories. For example, when I started to write about a story of mine called Surrogate, many commented it is interesting but from the latest update, seems like only a few left. So I was thinking should I continue the story or not? Will it worth my effort of hours drafting and writing if no one reading it? Probably I can use that time to write a proper manuscript that I can send to publishing house.
Sorry if you think this rant is inappropriate, but I just want to tell the readers that an author love your comment. A thank you can means a lot to them. Never think that authors will get fed up of your comments. They love it. At least i love it.
Sorry about the rant
XOXOXOXOXO
