If you have known me for long enough as a writer, you know that my goal was always to hit 50K reads for just writing and posting, no promotion, no nothing. 50K reads is a modest amount when success is measured in millions, but for me, that's enough. After 6 years of posting on 5 different sites, I finally reached this goal. I'm not gong to guild the lily. It was on Inkitt and it was with a story in an erotic category, a reverse harem featuring an Australian college swim team. It gives me hope that I can write stories people will read, but my unicorn story is still waiting to happen. For now, I'm jus going to celebrate finally meeting this important milestone and dream of popular success.

@DomiSotto Oh, thanks ... that's good to hear. I have a friend who moved her stories on that site during the Pandemic era cause her husband got laid off and she needed the extra money. That's why I had the auomatic thinking that it was a paid site. I might stop by there next month when I'm free and make an account. Answers to the name of Pilar there. LOL! (That ws the name my dad was going to give me cause where he lives in the Philippines is a book called Pepe and Pilar. My dad's name is Jose/ Pepe is the equivalent in Spanish.) In all my socials, except FB [cause that's mainly for family and family friends overseas ) I always use alias since I used to have a stalker. And like some people here that I won't name, they say Pia is to blame! *facepalming* In short, I'll just say everyone comes with a 100 attitude % ... it's up to them if they want to abuse it and ruin someone's self-esteem. I'm your friendly person but like my Navy vet Dad, I can be stubborn too. LOL My username here is Glory aka Gloria cause that was my maternal grandmother's name. There's also a song called "Gloria" by Laura Branigan. You can find it on Youtube. It talks about someone's alias. Haha!

@Glory_feeling2 50K reads, not a word count, heh. Inkitt is a free site. People can set up the tiers if they wish, but it's totally optional. I'm, obviously, free

@DomiSotto Congratulations Domi! Reaching 50k s always quite a milestone ... I don't know how authors of the Nanowrimo can do it within a month. That's some religious technique I still have to learn. LOL! For me that takes about a year to get my novels done. And that's great to hear that you have readers on your other account. I don't have Inkitt as I don't like to go on paid writing sites. I already have enough money problems in my personal life. *smiles* If I was a millionaire I'd go for it though! LOL
