Hard to have motivation when every attempt to grow and expand is met with resistance and credible accusations of hubris. Maybe I do want more than I deserve. Maybe I should be grateful for what I have and accept I've capped out. But how do I know if I don't try? How do I know what I'm capable of...

Done.

I would have deleted it yesterday if this trashfire forum provided a means to do so that I could find. I would very much like for my inbox to stop overflowing with vitriol and bullshit as well.

Hard to take well-meaning constructive criticism with grace in a hail of gunfire. I've also got people calling me psychotic, breaking the site's TOS with horrific and repeated attacks on my gender, throwing hate 1-star reviews on my work (something that's beyond the pale for ANY author). The...

Your literal first response was to torch the story and start over, dude.

I have heard nothing about "build a second floor." I have heard a lot of "burn your house down and move."

I'm not expecting to fly in the sky. I'm asking for directions to the stairs leading up to the second floor.

Because I'm having a hard time getting people to see it. Hence asking for marketing advice. ?

I'm not even trans, you fucking clown. Saying "you will never get more than you have" is telling me to give up. Saying "write something else" is telling me to give up. Saying "nobody wants this" is telling me to give up. If you're such a great writer, why do you struggle so much with words?

"Give up trying" is not marketing advice. "Write a different story" is not marketing advice. "Be a different person" is not marketing advice. "Be happy with what you have" is not marketing advice. "Insulting you is hilarious, let's do it more" is not marketing advice. If that's you being...

Statistically the likelihood that 0 people had given it a legitimate 1 star on any platform ever and the first person who did so happened to think the quality was that low - in a 3 hour window of time when people were looking at my story while pissed at me - when it had not happened in excess of...

If you don't want to help, don't help. The propensity of people in these spaces to see someone who is down and immediately flock to kick them is staggering. I've been fighting this frustration for months. I haven't slept properly in weeks trying to put all this together. I spent all day...

I am doing all of this. But people have been telling me for months that "the way you posted your story originally fucked you in X Y Z metadata reasons. Posting schedule, blurb, cover art, breaking up the story into multiple works, yadda yadda." So with this reboot I am trying to nail it to...

This is the only story I have, and I have no plans to write another in the near term, so the goals are one and the same. @Fox-Trot-9 Respectfully, it's my therapist's job to figure out what's healthy for me. I'm not trying to delegate those decisions to an internet forum. I have engaged...

The first episode drops on Netflix on Saturday. But we only got like 2-3 months notice it was coming, so I've been FRANTIC to try and roll out the red carpet for those potential new fans.

If I did them all at once, my thing would go to the newly updated list once, and get pushed off just as quickly. That's how math works. If I post ten chapters and then click Publish it goes to the latest update once. And even if it were there multiple times, shit lasts *seconds* there I have...

Three more months of daily chapters. I'm gonna break. I've been doing it for over a year and... nothing. I have a new cover, new blurb, new tags. Rebuilding every chapter. Posting in one huge thing. That spam filter algorithm is absolute trash. The dev team should be embarrassed.

So far my intent is to continue with the original plan - hoping to find a few little ways to augment but nothing yet.

It is now.

Mostly, I'm trying to figure out how to reach out to the wider trans community.
