We all know why people do it.
They need readers.
They badly need readers.
I don't know if it happens in your country, but sometimes you are commuting and someone enters the metro or the bus and starts shoving a little card in your hand, sometimes with a candy stapled to it, or it's a sample of their product.
You didn't ask for it, but that card the person pushed against your hand is a letter about how badly they need money. Sometimes they sell a cheap candy or a crappy pen. You don't need it. You don't want it.
It doesn't mean we can't feel their pain and despair. But do you know how awkward is to be forced to take that card?
Not everyone is prepared to give money to strangers or is empathic to their pleas. But they became annoying. Sadly annoying. Most of the time we give the card back with an embarrassed smile. Sometimes these people are kind of sneaky and even, arrogant as if we owe them some help.
It's the most awkward thing because, unless you wish to be called out for being inconsiderate, you MUST be understanding.
I don't wish my colleagues amateur authors forcing their novels on us like people begging for us to buy candy or to give them money.
I don't wish it to anyone.
And, I don't wish to read a novel just because I feel pity for a struggling new author. Do they wish me to read their books because I feel sad for them?
So, everyone begging is not making things easier for anyone, and showing this degree of despair is embarrassing. I really hope new authors can understand that begging for views is not making their book better.
