Why do so few of us actually post our stories? |

That is wild Suave! Lol. They say you're not really famous until you have haters and stalkers, so that means you made it!

Honestly, the reason I didn't post my story was because I didn't realize this forum existed at first. I basically just paid for my entry fee on the main website and never looked at the forums. I think a lot of people probably did the same thing. Then, when I found out about the forums, I still didn't post it because I was afraid I might jinx myself somehow! THEN, I felt the forums were a little bit hard for me to navigate through. Everything seems tiny sms hard to click on and read to me. It took a little while for me to get used to the message boards. I didn't have patience to find out how the boards were organized a few months ago. Also, I have a colleague of mine that proofreads my writing for me and gives me advice, so I didn't need to ask strangers for advice necessarily. I also had my old English teacher from high school look at my story. I felt like she knew me best, so I felt comfortable asking her to read it for me instead of asking people on the forums.

[/QUOTE] All valid reasons: I just like having someone read my work and comment on it as I never try and sell any of it, though I am nearing a self published book in the next year or so. The forum takes up a lot of time too, which I have lots of, but for a worker bee it might prove too much time investment because generally the way you get feedback is by leaving feedback.
