I think my story has been published for 2 years now?? Wow, really? Already? 
Okay, so, I had to take a long break because of all the negativity in the community… But after that I’ve been working really hard and I even made a lot of improvements to my story.
I know it’s not all about the reads, but it motivates me to know that at least some people are enjoying my work. Because it is a lot of work.
