CREATIVE PROBLEMS
Hi there! I'm feeling pretty salty today and i guess that's because i have this glow around me, well at least that's what my mate said. Feeling sour didn't feel like the way to go so i guess you can say i chose how to feel this morning the night before.
By the way have you heard of the writing web application called Quotev? It's like Wattpad but way more organised. I'm actually having problems on both. It's not like i'm having writers block or anything, no! Dealt with that a few times before. I'm having a tag problem.
Somehow no one reads my stories on both websites and i like to think i write them pretty well. I once wrote a fanfic (which i still write) when i first joined Quotev. I have 1,517 readers for that and 91 of them added it to their library. I started it after reading a Shawn Mendes fanfic that i really liked and it inspired me. It was doing pretty well until i had to stop to focus on school and i just got a new step-father and all so there was a lot on my plate. EWhen i returned i noticed a drastic fall in the rate of readers. As you can guess that story is dead now and probably erased from the site. I made sure to put in the appropriate and popular tags on it but it's still not getting readers and i'm concerned. So are my other stories. I've compiled a list of reasons i think could have affected it but something in my gut tells me there's a whole lot more to this than i realise and that concerns me because many more writers are suffering the same fate and i really do hate to see raw talent so very wasted, including mine.
Here's my reasons...
I've tried every strategy known to man(and by that i mean writers) and i'm failing as an amateur writer already. I'm just scared that no one is even going to give me a chance before they write me off. I sincerely and honestly think it's just based on luck!
As in... Oh what great luck you have that your novel on Wattpad has soo many favorites and likes and readers and views.
I'm like, shove an apple in my ears already. Sew buttons over my eyes too that'll make me feel less worse. At least i'll know that the reason i ain't getting any readers is because i ain't writing! And i ain't writing because i'm obviously seeing and hearing impeared!
I just really love writing and it sucks to think that i may have been blessed with the wrong gift because i honestly don't want to see my dream, love, aspiration, talent and future ambition to got o waste! I hate when it goes to waste! I just do!
I was chatting with a girl on the internet the other day and she was literally blabbing and bragging none stop about how many adoring fan she has on both Wattpad and Quotev. How much views/reads she has, how much favorites she's gotten, how many likes she owns, how many people added her book to their library and how mad her writing skills are. She even said she'd help me out with my novel problem if she had the chance.
I was like, please bitch! Can you can it? Or those your personality not come with enough tin foil? You're a lousy obnoxious person and i'm not gonna lie, you do have mad writing skills but your lip gloss has probably been killing of your brain cells because you just said you'd help me out with my novels. I'd rather take advice from a dish rag than from trash on the internet because unfortunately not everyone bought their cheap attitude from i'msostupid.com
Of course i only said all those things in my head then blocked her after calling her a cesspool of gene coagulation and birth control failure(which i actually told her.)
I'm depressed now. I just only wish. Please please please if you have any suggestions and strategies you could lend me i would be happy to hear it, and if you're in quite the sticky mud pit i'm currently cruising on don't be afraid to ask so we can tackle this sitch together and if i hear or find something to help i can hyu or i can post it on here to help. Trust me i need this and i'm thinking... so do you, or maybe a friend or family or whoever no matter how complicated i am here to help just as i want to be helped so hmu for anything or comment below.
And just in case u don't have a clue on what my abbreviations mean(because they can just be a region thing) hmu means hit me up and hyu means the same to except y there is you so i'm guessing u get it.
I know u may or may not be thinking, how can this girl on the other side of this computer or phone or tablet or iPad screen understand and know how to help if she can't even help herself well the answer my beautiful lovelies to that question is... i just can... or can't but we'll see how it goes when u hit this asshole up! Just kidding i'm not an a-hole i'm just in a fizz temper, like i said earlier, i'm feeling salty.
Thank you for reading and i do hope you'd leave a comment or two for me down below cuz that would make my day and whole entire life!... if i had one. Criticize and/or blab or rant i'm all ears... well eyes(since it'll most likely be on a comment or mail as everyone seems to be doing lately). Thank you again and good day!

Here's my reasons...
- In the last 8 months Quotev has dramatically gained a ton of new followers ranging over thousands and there are only so many works of art that can be noticed by a few eyes.
- I screwed up with my tags and nobody searches those words (or phrases) in anymore.
- The fanfics i write aren't popular anymore (such as One Direction and Magcon)
- Not much people love sci-fi books as much as i do.
- Most people on Quotev and Wattpad are females and we often tend to lean towards romance genres way more than the rest so if everyone is writing romance there's competition and not enough room to bloom.
- Quotev doesn't do that thing where every new book gets to have a spot at the top of default search lists so new writers (and novels) get a chance of fame and recognition.
- The description i so put my time and effort into was a waste of energy because it isn't wow factor, ass kicking, jaw droppingly enough to gain attention.
- I don't socialize enough on the platforms so friends can read and spread the words.
- What i write is a load of bullcrap and it's not good enough to have my readers spread the word so it gets popular.
