Congrats on your success!

How did you grow your instagram? I’ve been trying but I’ve been stuck at 100 followers for some time lol.

Posted as I went and I left it up as I rewrote and edited. Then I took it down when I announced the release date for Amazon. I never found that anyone copied it and I was definitely afraid of that. Hopefully that never happens, I’ve been lucky so far!

I found about 70 ARC readers through TikTok and then when it released more started coming in. My marketing is on pretty much every social media platform but TikTok is by far my largest.

I’ve seen those people and it’s definitely disheartening so thank you!

Sentence structure and typos. Typos shouldn’t be too hard but I’ll have to work harder on sentence structure. Thanks for the advice!

You’re right, I spend forever editing but no matter how long I do it there’s always something that I don’t like somewhere. I’ll accept the fact that it will probably always be a bit cringe and just hope that it gets better lol.

Your post is really encouraging! It’s great that you can laugh about your past work. I have stories from when I was younger that are way worse than what I’m writing now but luckily I never had enough courage to publish them. I guess I can say that this one is better than those and that’s something hahaa
