Scarletheart84 I like the fact that you're assessing and analysing to see what did or didn't work for a better outcome next time. This is an author trait. Two things writers need to be is persistent and resilient.
I only have one completed book hidden in WN's closet lol. It's set in WW2 Hiroshima and Nagano, Japan called To My Sunflower. This one I wrote for WPC #46 and didn't rank. It's more of an historical fiction than boys love because the lovers are finding their way back to each other. Some people have told me it's emotional journey, so it can be an acquired taste.
I have another in progress called Clumsy Mr. President:Work Hard Donβt Die I wrote for a recent WPC LGBT+ prompt. I declined the gold tier offer as I aim to self publish it as a paperback. Thanks for taking interest.
None of my stories have a ranking. Most readers just read the story for whatever reason. I'm grateful to the niche few humans who have given them a chance and stuck with it.
Keep at it.
