Ok, seriously now! · 3:13pm Jan 9th, 2014
I'm going to start writing the Vacant's long story right now.
I know that I said that I was going to write it two days ago, but something happened. Nothing serious, it's just that my latest story didn't get the attention that I was hoping for it. It isn't a big deal, but I can't help feeling a little discouraged. After my great hit, Vacant, which received 1100 views on one day, the fact that Moving On just received 137 views is... depressing.
Of course, I'm not going to let that stop me, but it doesn't mean that I'm not a little afraid. What if this fails and stays in the darkness like my other two stories that have less than 50 likes? What if I got to my top of writing skills with Vacant and everything that I write after it will be just a shadow of it? What if Vacant's popularity was just a fluke? What if...
Ok, I think that I'm being paranoid. I know that there are still people waiting for it, it's just that I can't shake those thoughts out of my head. I think that I'm going to lay down and relax for a moment. Maybe listen to some music, that always makes my thoughts flow.
I'm sorry that you have to read this nonsense blog, but I feel better now just for writing it.
It's fine. You just keep doing what you do.

Thanks
I know that I'll feel better soon, and I'll feel ashamed for writing a blog like this.
I know how you feel. I put up something that got a pretty good reception for a guy who's a total unknown, got a bunch of followers. Then I put up a new story and people have barely glanced at it. I'm afraid that this sort of thing is common, as I've seen that we're not the only ones this sort of thing happens to. Don't let it get you down too much.

Yeah, I know, I shouldn't let it get me down too much.
But still, it isn't something easy to pass through, at least to me. As the saying goes, The higher one goes up, the stronger is the fall, or something like that.

It's fine, it's fine.

Aww you want me to make a blog so your views can get higher?

Would you do that!?
You don't have to do it. I couldn't ask you to do it. But... If you want to... I'm not going to stop you.
It's going to be hit or miss with some stories....don't take it personally. I don't have a lot of views for "The Chimera" compared to my others stories...

Yeah, sometimes I feel that is a matter of luck. Publishing the story at the right moment may influence the attention that it gets.
Of course, the story itself has to be good too, but really matter if the story is bad or good if nobody notices it?
1698741 Just promote it once in a while. People might not be aware of it.

It could be, but I don't know where to promote it besides the The Shameless Self-Promotion Bureau group.
