This is embarrassing....

But I have only got 9 actual chapters (rest are things like some glossaries in prep for future) and only been uploading since 15 Nov.

1st novel 991 collections and about 350 thousand viewers.

2nd novel 455 collections and about 130 thousand viewers.

3rd novel 57 collections and about 15 thousand viewers

I sorta wanted to measure myself and see how good I was as a writer =]

I just started writing, and there is so much to learn it feels neverending.

Honestly considering the effort, I put in I'm surprised at where I stand. so far =[.

I just hate not being able to put my ideas into paper =[

    Forsaken1 We are same. I started to write on a whim because of a prompt contest and I'm still here 1 month later... But I don't even know if I'm a good writer or anything. I'm not so good in English too... I guess I'll see what will happen x)
    For now, I'm just curious to know how far I can go and if I'll be able to put my ideas on 'paper' as I want...
    I guess I'll be able to do more after my exams period because I'll have more time.

      To be fair though, I'm guessing a good chunk of your existing fanbase followed you to your new book =p

      Clou_d

      Looks like your doing well you have the highest ratio of views/collectors here.

        lynerparel

        You might, be getting some from that and from being contracted.

        I have seen one of your novels before, I was going to read it but it was a bit short for me, to jump into.

          Forsaken1 Oh which one? the new one, or the old one, I'm going to guess the old one.

            lynerparel

            No, it was new, one the I was interested in the old one until I saw the paywall, I made a choice I won't personally read novels that do not have the add system sorry.

            and I do not think you get paid if I use the free SS anyways =[

            I will read it once you finish the volume I'm sure though

              Forsaken1 It's alright I still thank you for getting a bit interested to even think of trying to read my novel. Literally even the thought truly counts. :)

                682 and 305k, and another 109 and 98k Views,
                But you shouldnt Base your writing quality on these Numbers.
                If you just want to get successful on WN, I would suggest to write Daily. Even Double Daily. Whatever.
                Quantity over Quality. What I mean is that even with a half well made novel, if you did Daily chaps, you might be more successful. My hypothesis :)

                  FleetingClouds

                  No, my goal is to be a good writer, from what I have seen WN does not pay well, and I do not agree with their system, but thank you for the input. =]

                  which is why I wanted to know peoples collecter numbers, as a sort of marker I guess?

                    19 days later

                    Mine is 1900 collection with 370K views.
                    Is it good or bad?
                    Started from 21 October.
                    Already have 50 chaps.
                    But now I feel like my novel is worthless and I have kinda lost the motivation. Damn I'm having a hard time getting over this thing. I just can't sit my ass down and write when my heart is not with it.
                    Wish me luck

                      Author_Shizu what the f*ck u talkin bout, 370k views is amazing. Think about it, how many clicks these are. If you refer one number as a single minute, it would be 256 days.
                      Imagine 370.000 people standing right in front of you. Not even people, imagine eggs. Still awe inspiring.
                      I don’t know where you’re lack of selfconfidence comes from, but I believe these are good numbers

                        16 000 and currently growing.

                          Hyowha I don't know.
                          I have only 13 ratings, including me.
                          Not ranked high enough.
                          And having upto 10 people commenting each chapter.
                          I mean if I have 1900 collections and even if at least 500 people are regularly reading it then why such a small number of response?
                          Its like people have added my novel and then have forgotten about it.
                          Then maybe I'm thinking too much.

                            JunkieOverThe_Moon I recently started a second story, and based from how relatively slow the collection adds are trickling in, I now know my first story is actually doing quite well. Don't even know why I'm telling you this, tbh...

                            Lonelytree Pretty please, how do we block the counter? I can't ignore it using willpower alone lol

                              Author_Shizu I’m gonna be honest, a lot only add for exp, use only temporary accounts or wait for the chapters to amass. There aren’t many who add the story to their collection to always ben up to date.
                              I personally have 5 in my collections and I have not touched them since I added them. Not because I don’t like them. I love them, which i am why I added them. But I either wait for them to get more chaps or only wanted to show my support.
                              Adding stories to libraries make them easily accessible as you can see what chap they’d are in without clicking.
                              So best is if you take these collection numbers as Likes, rather than traffic.

                              I deeply admired the author who can keep writing and updating his novel regularly, even his/her collections are not increasing at faster rate compare to others. As long you enjoy writing your story, keep going. As long you have one reason to keep going, just keep going! Others factors are just nuisance, they will drag you slow from attaining your goal. Remember "Rome is not built in one day"

                              If you keep going you might be surprised what's waiting at the end of the rainbow. If you stop in the middle, you will never know...

                              Take care all.
