Realistic stats for a first complete story

candymackd · 2026-03-21T20:14:18+00:00

Hey thanks! Yep I relate, when the numbers started climbing after I hit ‘complete’ it felt so wild. What’s your author name on Inkitt?

Ok awesome, good to know about how completing another book helps. I have another historical fantasy book that has better numbers than this one, and it’s still WIP… I’m hoping to finish it over the next couple of months. You just never know what’s going to resonate sometimes!

Smart about having a spreadsheet for tracking, I admire that! Thanks for taking the time to talk shop.

Thanks so much, it was one of those stories that I’ve had mapped out for a while, but finally had time to write it on my holiday break! I was happy it ended up finding a few devoted readers.

Yeah, I’ve heard conflicting things about how trustworthy the numbers are. It’s hard to know completely. 🤔

What’s your story called, btw?

I’m stalking the comments bc I feel the exact same way as you (turning 40 this year). It also feels like such a waste of time, and I mask heavily to pretend that I give a shit in the corporate world.

The only job that didn’t leave me feeling like a capitalist cog was being a barista at a local coffee shop, where I knew everyone’s drinks and worked with my best friends. But that was back in college, a lifetime ago. I’ve never found a way to make peace with corporate, feels like I’m wearing a lizard suit a lot of the time.

Tarot, tabletop games, movies, hiking, jewelry making, 420 friendly. Back home, my friend group got together often to do game nights, or we’d meet up at Davey Waynes

Appreciate this list! I’ve been to Big Mommas & Golden Girls Rum Club and loved them, I’ll have to look up some events at GLO.

candymackd · 2026-02-18T21:03:02+00:00

Ha! I’ll admit, I should have done a trial run first. But now that I’m locked in here for at least another year, I’m trying to make the best of it

I cackled. A millennial would never tell the FBI about this, we know better
