It was a combination of accomplishment and anxiety because I immediately felt behind schedule lol.

Waves of anxiety, panic attacks and crying It actually helped that I wasn't getting a lot of views at first (less pressure), but I calmed down after a few weeks, and after about, eh, six months I started to get depressed and thought of quitting.

Then I found the forums and eventually things started paying off and I now have more fun with it.

Bro, before I noticed there was a forum, I posted the link to my story all over the place! XD I'm glad I discovered the existence of the forum early, just a few hours after posting the first chapter.

Feliz e ao mesmo tempo com medo de me frustrar, o que é inevitável se formos falar a curto prazo, mas sigo forte e empenhado em continuar produzindo minha série que inventei por total paixão e por sentimento de vocação mais forte do que eu. O resto é apenas consequência.

E aí, mano? Outra pessoa que fala português, igual a mim!

Honestly, I was scared. The story I posted has been in my brain and on my desk for twelve years. It was a pet project. So to put my darling out there on an impulse was nerve-wracking. It still is weird having it out there.

On the other hand, I feel immense relief as now my brain can release the story. It was exhaling after holding my breath for a long time.

Please do check it out when you have a second: tapas.io/true_north

The link you put should be written like this:
"https://" + "m.tapas.io/series/true_north/info"

And then, it will appear like this:

Isso é ótimo!! HAHAH

Honestly, I was scared to death LOL!!

There were several things that I needed to improve, and I've always been too demanding of myself. The first thing I needed to improve on was my English writing. English isn't my mother language, and it was a Homeric struggle to learn how to write in English properly (tinha dia que só sentava na frente do computador e pensava: vai com terra e tudo).
The second thing to improve was my drawing skills. I was damn rusty back then and the novel was also a way for me to keep drawing despite the odds because it was something I dearly liked.
So many things! But here I am <3 It's been a year that I've been publishing and I'm loving it!

Nervous, but excited at the same time.
But I was also really scared of people being mean and then I realized this is not Webtoon. So I was still scared but glad.

Anywho, check out my comic and the novel if you want ig.

BellaTheCow 2024-10-03 04:33:26 UTC #36

Confused….nervous…excited…then compound all that and multiply it by three, yup that was me.

Tubacabra 2024-10-03 05:18:35 UTC #37

I just posted today, and honestly, it's a lot more stressful than I expected. After the first eight hours, I had zero views. But now I've started using the forum, so I've been watching that number slowly tick up. I wonder what it'll look like tomorrow?

axelruler 2024-10-03 14:27:56 UTC #38

wow, are people usually mean on the webtoon? This is terrible for them.

axelruler 2024-10-03 14:31:41 UTC #39

I know, I spent a day promoting my work outside the forum and only after entering the forum did things improve.

CEWashburn 2024-10-03 16:14:28 UTC #40

I was nervous. As. Eff. Here I had a book I'd spent so much time on, pouring in so much love, blood, sweat, and tears, wanting to make it as fun and interesting as possible, and I was so worried no one was going to read it, much less like or subscribe to it, especially because it's so explicit. Now it has 146 subs, is still getting views like crazy even though it's completed, and I don't promote it very often, and I grew the confidence to post my supernatural BL series that might not have a lot of subs but are still really popular in their own right.

And now I have an entry in the Tapas_AF_Tourney, something I NEVER thought I'd actually do. Not to say I don't still get nervous because I do...but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be.
