Don't give up. The readers are there!
With completing the writathon, getting the month of premium has been such a reward. Being able to see the user retention throughout the end of my first book has given me the feels and wanted to share to encourage others.
I don't have very many commenters so its rough sometime to know if the story is doing well. But, being able to see these now and seeing that my readers followed through till the end and it has been increasing! This was a small boost to the self-esteem after have a rather rough reader give their opinions about my book that were really out there. But regardless those comments made me take a step back to wonder if the story was worthy enough to continue.
If you are a reader, thank you so much for supporting my little hobby and sharing my world.
If you are an author that doesn't have any interaction with your readers. If the numbers are going up! They are still there :)
