Success is measured in different ways.
Wow! What a rush. Does this mean people out there tolerate me or like my writing right now(Sally Field and Sean Penn ref.)? Yahoo…it’s time for a funky dance… Milestones, like this, are jumping off points to build on.
How did I get here? Who the hell am I? Do I have extreme Imposter Syndrome?
Self-analyzing isn’t going to take away the happiness lifting my spirits today.
I honestly do many things to get followers. I write from the heart. I follow back. I follow writers who interest me. I read every story I can. And, I support authors who are just starting out.
Authenticity and sincerity play a large part in gaining followers and friends. Interaction with storytellers shows them you find their writing interesting. Clapping and reading stories is great but also take time to comment. You’ll pick up followers and will most likely be reciprocated in kind.
Sparking up conversations with awesome authors is widening my knowledge base on grammar, technical issues with publishing, and expanding my writing job opportunities.
My writing optimism soared recently because I achieved two wonderful milestones.
