This contest is honestly discouraging. There’s a lot of well known authors who’ve already gotten thousands of reads. And they already have millions of readers. Most of us don’t even stand a chance!

At least we tried.

Everyone seems to be promoting based on friendship.

yep yep. I’ve read some honestly good stories but have barely any reads. Then I see some very popular writers who’ve amassed millions of readers just easily get the spotlight and those good stories get shoved to the back.

But yeah at least we tried. :tipping_hand_woman:t4:

:sweat_smile: thanks very much. So was yours. I love the punch and the hotel clerk just quietly lurking.

All of the stories I’ve read thus far have been awesome. I haven’t been disappointed yet.

I’m again so worried, my reads just aren’t going up for some reason. It makes me really sad because I worked so hard on it.

Remember, reads don’t matter really in the contest sense. Yes, you need to get 100, but it’s all about reader retention. Just because a story has more reads doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll do better than one that has less reads reader retention wise.
Pay attention to people asking for recommendations. People all over Instagram and the Forums have been and I honestly believe that’s the reason I’ve garnered the reads so far (that and @Zey is my publicist :joy:).
Do read for reads with each other, promote on Insta if you have it, promote on the forums, etc.

My insta is @pika18.episode

It’s called K&T: Cursed Rings
The link is on my Linktree
Thank you xx :sparkling_heart::sparkling_heart:

It’s not about the winning :heart:

Yeah I know we all are discouraged when we see we don’t stand a chance.
But don’t look at this contests as a way to win a place on the shelf. Take it as opportunity to have another - short - story finished, and a reason to promote yourself as a writer - and a new story which will add you reads to your total number.

This is also a chance for us small authors to connect, help each other, knit new friendships :heart:
