Well, hello there :) I had a look at your profile and your stories. Now, you were honest with me, I'll be honest with you. There are so many things you could do to improve your chances of having your stories read, if that's what you wish for. For example, your profile picture might as well be empty, it shows no face - people relate to a face, the face that tells the story. Your profile name also might as well be empty, it has no name, unless your first name is 'La'. Your stories are poorly formatted and your images have no attribution and are poorly chosen. Should I go on? There's so much you can learn from stories like mine, if only listen. Where's the beef? The beef is in learning how to present your work in a way that will get you published with the pubs on this platform. If you want people to clap, write something clap-worthy. Make an effort. And you don't need to write as well as anyone, just tell a great story - learn how to tell great stories - there is plenty of advice on how to do that on this very platform. There's no need to be bitter, don't give up, reflect on your writing, figure out what's working (or in your case, not working) and try again. If you love it, that is. Wishing you all the best, my nameless friend :)
