For the past few days I have been posting an urban-fantasy tale called Unwelcome Guests, and have gotten votes but no replies, which is somewhat disheartening. Due to the way steemit is, I have to enter these tales in by hand, which takes more than a few hours. If no one is reading them then I do not need to be putting forth this amount of effort any more. And if for some reason no one likes these then I can stop working on them immediately and get back to working on my novels.
