Why bother?
13 years ago
This is a rant. I'm kind of irked really, and it's with the watchers in general, not specifically those of you watching me.
I first want to make it quite clear that I am thankful that you guys have watched me. I appreciate the support.
But...
Why watch me if you're not going to view anything? Why watch someone if you don't plan on supporting them? Now...some of you aren't watching me to see my submissions, but because we're friends, but to the others that I've barely interacted with...why?
'The Form of Love' was posted a month ago. To this date, it has /only/ had three views. Three. I know poetry isn't exactly popular, but I did explicitly state that it was a poem from the novel I'm working on. I posted it to get feedback. Suggestions for it, criticisms, etc. Even some questions behind it.
It's really discouraging that a piece of work that I spent weeks on (yes, weeks) got three views. It's even more discouraging that it's for a novel that I'm working on, and there seems to be zero interest.
I know I'm not exactly the best or most popular, but no support?
