It's tough out there, man, but it really looks like you're cranking hard, and I admire that. Lots of great goals, even if you didn't meet all of them. I feel like there's a lot of "here's a great thing I did just for you", but it also feels like there just aren't enough "you's" out there for all the great things. I dunno. I haven't crack…

I feel like there's a lot of "here's a great thing I did just for you", but it also feels like there just aren't enough "you's" out there for all the great things. I dunno. I haven't cracked any codes on here or Medium. Almost no readers; I'm just writing. But I do love the writing, and for me that's most of the battle. How to get people to notice I'm writing and get them reading. Well, let's just see what we can do in 2024.
Thanks for the acknowledgement. If your goal is to do write what you love for its own sake, that's awesome. That's where I want to go. It's when you're looking to get an audience, and perhaps make a living, where things get more complicated. You really have to know who the "you's" are. If you post your Star Trek fan fiction on Game of Thrones forums, you're probably not going to find your crowd. And that's a way oversimplification, because genres are so complex now with sub-genres on sub-genres, and if you can't fit perfectly into a box, readers can pass you over for someone who does.
But here's to 2024! I'm going to try wild new things with my work and see what happens. ^_^
