Mistake?


I've been around GA for 14 years in one form or another. I've read many great stories by amazing authors who could very well be published and earning money for their talent. Yet, they are here on GA offering their works to all of us for free.

Since I was able to spend more time on this site. This past year gave me to urge to write again after reading more amazing stories. I was inspired by the many awesome authors. However, being inspired doesn't mean one has the talent to actually accomplish your quest. I have come to realize that I do not possess the knowledge or educational background to make my stories interesting enough to make this endeavor worth the frustration I may cause anyone who attempts to help me.

I always have different scenarios about many situations running through my head. Perhaps they are better off staying there. Maybe I should have more sex in my stories. I was once told I was a brilliant cyberer. Whatever that meant. Maybe I should just stop and give-up? Trials and Tribulations was enough of a success to win an award. Maybe like Don Mclean's American Pie, it was a one hit wonder, not saying the quality of the two compares.

I'm at a lost seeing how few people have even looked at my work. I think that maybe that's my answer.

If the GA statistics on the stories are correct, you have had more people looking at your work than I had looking at mine. :)

The idea of more followers, more readers, more awards, more likes ... more ... anything is unfortunately how Social Media aka "the internet" nowadays works. It is so bad, people even "buy" likes...

Ignore all that! Makes life so much easier! I know this is much easier said than done, I struggle sometimes, but I think it is worth it.

I think the main question for you to answer is: why do you write? As long as you enjoy it, go and write!
