"Here's something for your talk to me book... How do you get so many readers because even though I'd like to be a shameless self promoter, I just can't. I want to be a good enough writer for everyone to want to read my stuff. Also something personal... I'm a happy person who has a lot of sad things that happen in my life. What do you do to try not let all the negativity affect you because it gets kinda hard for me sometimes. THANKS AUTHORNIM, I LOVE YOUR WORK!!!!!!" -

I literally have no idea how I got so many readers, I once self-promoted on twitter last year when I first started but the tweet only got one like. I guess the way I got readers is kind of similar to the way Shingeki No Kyojin is popular, 'You Are Mine' got popular very quickly, I think, because the ending was so unexpected so everyone wanted to share it so they could shock their friends. I think it's also because 'You Are Mine' was original, in the fanfiction world it's hard to find completely original pieces.

I have a couple of severe mental illnesses so I feel 'down' quite a lot, only two things makes me feel better. BTS being dorks and you guys! There's nothing better than putting all your effort, time and passion into a story and people loving it. My advice is that you do whatever makes you happy. When I was younger I used to scribble to calm myself down, now I listen to piano melodies. With the negativity, I get it not as much as I thought I would. The saying 'the more followers, the more haters' doesn't really come to me. I got more bad feedback when I was starting than I do now. I do get negativity often off the laptop, whenever someone is trying to get me down I always think to myself "they'll see who's laughing when I am a successful author." 

Thank you, I'm looking forward to reading your book 'Desirable'!
