Writers Check in

Kindly remember that it's not about being noticed. It's about being the recognized by the right people. We need the right audience in order for art to flourish. You'll find them soon.

Patience is key.

That's awesome!

I feel most, if not all, writers want to be noticed for their work. Keep trying though and see what happens. I think the rule is five years. If after five years you don't get noticed, then maybe it's time to consider quitting.

Good News!!

Released 1/4 a new arc of Dead End Florals. I got a nice amount of new subs.

I got onto the new and noteworthy list for my writing. I feel like my writing has improved dramatically. I'm ambivalent about traditional publishing because I feel my writing isn't pop/mainstream enough.

This is also my first post in the forums. Hi everyone!

I'm not exactly the type to quit. I've been writing for about 13 years and not planning to quit, just gonna keep trying to get better and better

I mostly meant hadn't been picked for staff picks and daily snacks and all that
but thanks for the encouragement

Hello! Thanks for joining us, and congrats on getting featured!

I have the same fear about traditional publishing. My stories also aren't mainstream enough, but I'm hoping I'll build an audience here =)

I think that's what I like most about the Tapas community so far. How nice it is. It's easy to connect and talk to one another.

hey there everyone! just finished my 165th page of my second book... 170k words into my series and I think im slowly getting the hang of it
as to getting noticed... I got a couple of readers on other sites but tapas has been slow... probably need to advertise more actively XD

moodyfd 2017-08-27 02:33:21 UTC #30

170K, that's a huge feat! Congrats!

Reworking some stories. Working on a new fiction/non-fiction hybrid.

I was able to get to the trending page but for like a really short while lolol but I'm happy with that I've also gained some new subscribers!!! yaayyyy!!!

No features here, but I finished W&W on a strong note I think and I've started a new thriller series called Just A Small Thing. I'm very excited to start working on it because for me it's a bit of an experimental practice in doing different POV writing and in playing with narrative reliability.

I've also learned my lesson from W&W and will not be making individual thumbnails for each chapter. You can't even see them anyway, blech!! Waste of my time!

KateGrove 2017-08-31 20:05:13 UTC #35

Nothing much with the short story, but it seems (after some unforeseen happenings) my book will be available, starting next week!
I've also started on another novel, but I want to work up a buffer before posting anything!

That's awesome!!! It always helps when you're on the trending page.

KateGrove 2017-09-04 16:29:28 UTC #37

The Snow King is published tomorrow I'm more excited about this than payday! (Which is also tomorrow, BTW.)

Testaccount 2017-09-04 16:50:29 UTC #38

Ok, I'm not sure what to say, but congrats...

KateGrove 2017-09-04 17:05:23 UTC #39

Thank you, that's kind of you

Edit: IT'S OOOOOOOON! << very excited
