OK, so 330 people watch my art and I'd assume 100 of them are dead or under used accounts.



One thing that baffles me big time, is that in this 230 that watch me, I have at most... 6 people commenting on just 1 of my stories (The Phoenix Wright one)

This got me thinking- why aren't people reading my writing, cause see, I LOVE writing, and I've been doing it alot longer than drawing, and everyone that has read any of my stories has loved it (sure my grammar is a tad shocking, but...), so, I wonder what holds everyone back

I know that I've already lost half my readers of this journal already, so whoever is left, I want your opinion.

Why don't you read my writings? Wrong genre? Don't like fandom (I have original writings)? Don't trust my writing? Don't know who the characters are? You don't read? Not enough time?

I'd like to know, cause I don't like pouring my heart into a story, and people refusing to read it cause of some reason. All my art comes from my mind. I want to be known as a writer too. K? ;)

I have the same problem with my poetry and writing. The thing is, I really don't have enough time to comment, sometimes not even to fav. :c As soon as I log in to my messengers, I get nearly 10 people talking to me at once, and I watch over 1000 people.. so my inbox is constantly flooded :c

For some reason, I can't remember why I watched you. o_o Maybe I planned on reading your stories but never got around to.

-does that now- :D;

I like your stories. :3 But then again you already know that. ^^

Honestly, I think the way you write the characters is absolutely amazing. OwO Especially for Miles and such.

Never really looked at any other. I don't have that much time anyway. It's not from lack of want, but I guess part of it is that my attention hasn't been drawn to any of your others because you haven't updated any of them since I've been watching you. I've only taken a brief glance through your gallery.

I'll investigate further later then. ^^

Dude >.< That sounds nasty. I'm about 330 watch and watched, and that takes me a while XD
:iconarkillian:
*Arkillian Jul 14, 2008, 1:18:25 PM
That's fair enough. Question, you don't like Phoenix Wright? Or you not played it?
:iconarkillian:
*Arkillian Jul 14, 2008, 1:22:18 PM
It's cool. You comment on my PW one, so I'm guessing you'd pick up on ones I post from now on ^^ Most of the other stuff is excerpt stuff, there's a Greenlantern fanfic, a pokemon one, and some DBZ ones. I haven't posted much recently that isn't comic writing simply cause it gets no attention. That's why I did the 5 page comic intro for the story :nod: To get people into the storyline so it's not so scary.

I just like to know why people don't pay much attention to writing? I'd love to make it easier for them, cause I love feedback on my writing ^^

*Arkillian Jul 14, 2008, 1:23:37 PM
Thank you ^^ :hug: Getting personalities right is really important for me. The Phoenix Wright characters are saturated with character, and I wanted to bring that out in my story :)I'm glad it is ^^
