Greetings humans,
I like writing and I came onto this website to improve my writing because I would love to make a career of writing in the future but right now I don't want to. I would love it if readers would give reviews or just any type of feedback even on the comments. Why don't they?
Why don't readers give little to no feedback?
I most of the time get to sucked in to what I am doing to remember to give any comments let alone feedback. For me it's just my brain being to focused on the story line and then being forgetful.
I am both an author and a reader. And gosh it is difficult. I love reading feedback, comments, reviews, and so on, but I am really bad at leaving them when reading.
When I read I get so immersed in what I am reading that it would interrupt me if I were to comment on the chapters, and I often just forget it. Maybe other readers have the same issue?
Elizabeth_5460 Tinalynge I can see where you guys are coming from now that I think about it. Thank you for answering from a reader's perspective too and I hope you both have a wonderful day!

Midnight_Alpha Your question is an age old one. I had years where my only readers were spambots from blogger referrals.
Here, I've observed that It depends on the reading audience. Some genres attract more vocal readers.
I think the most important question to answer yourself is what is keeping the story alive for you.
This is the stage of the story to honestly recognize what you want to achieve with it. Can you continue to give it passionate attention and belief towards its existence when there're no readers about?
On most accounts, a story is written without an audience even though there's a target reader in mind. For first drafts I recommend that it's completed in isolation since its the idea draft. Subsequent edits are for fine tuning from other inputs and feedback.
Veronica8 Thank you!
