story feedback
Until last week the dozens of stories I've written over the years were a personal diversion. I came upon this site and was so impressed I decided to jump in the water, so I wrapped up and submitted 2 stories which have been read by an amazing number of people (or at least opened).

I've received exactly one e-mail from a reader, fortunately positive and asking for more stories. I now understand why readers are encouraged to respond as the silence, for me, has been discouraging.

While my stories lack little details like character development (why bother when you have a readership of one - me -since I knew everything about these people already), can they be so bad that only one kind, but obviously unbalance reader responds?

My current story in progress was started last week with the mindset of telling the story to others, but I'm struggling to keep a positive attitude.

Input from anyone would be appreciated.

You received an email! Wow! That;s probably better than most already. Actually, from my experience you'll probably get more emails than reviews, although I don't know why it's like that.

It really is amazing how few people review the stories, compared to the quantity of 'readers'. It's not as if they have to say anything complex, just a vote would be something!

I hope you keep faith with the site, as there are some good people and real talent here, even if the readership is a bit shy.
