Tired of It

Writing for My Goals

Tired of It

I think I made a mistake

Now I want to take a break

But now there’s money at stake

That can’t be waste

Hope to increase my reads, but that was not the case

It didn't even help if I wrote at a steady paste

Zero reads with many comments in my face

Okay something is weird is going on at vocal base

Getting to my goal is a constant chase

I guess giving top story is the way they fix it

But more than an handful of reads is missing

I'm almost 100 stories in

Hope to reach this goal before the year ends.

    Know the feeling. It takes a lot of patience, but we get there, Emily!

    I too experience the frustration. I recently came off a hiatus from vocal myself. We can all get frustrated. The best advice is 1) Write for yourself first. 2) Interact with others.. comment and like other authors stories. Many will check out the works of those who interact with their own work. Keep plugging away.

    There’s nothing wrong with feeling frustrated or burnt out! If you need a break don’t hesitate to take one—we’ll all still be here! ♥️
