Give it time. Hardly anyone bothers to read anything nowadays, let alone themes they are not too comfortable with.
It's not futile. But I'm trying a new direction. There's a saying 'you can't attract what you're chasing,' which of course, would be more female oriented. I mean, I don't imagine a guy can sit by the phone waiting for someone to ask him out. But there's a way of filling your subconscious mind with images of what/who you want so you attract it. If you're focusing on the jerk or jerkess who just messed with you, you'll attract another. That's the theory. So, I'll just commiserate today and tomorrow will be another day!!!
I got good feedback today from someone on Scribophile.com, a site where writer's trade critiques, on my first chapter. He got everything I wanted him to get and he wants to read more.
This is nerve-wracking. I've had a complete story done for over a month and nobody's read it. Or maybe they have, or they tried to and they thought it was lame or dense or something. I can't stand this.
