Hello readers,
I'm hoping to get some feedback on The Teen Runner (or The Runner). Views have been very weak and the review score dropped almost everyday since the first part came out. I'm looking to understand where I went wrong with this one to avoid it in the future.
At first I figured the name was too dull so I changed it to The Teen Runner, emphasizing Katelyn as the teen character. I also changed the teaser blurb but neither seemed to help. I'm just a little lost because I thought it was a strong story with good characters, editor thought so too. I'm willing to take the loss, but I'm hoping to learn something from it.
Next week, I've got two stories on the way. Midweek, on the ghostwritten after dark account, there's A Girl's Guide to Cookie Dough. It's your standard cookie/scout story with a twist (and spankings/BDSM). It'll be a 2-chapter story but if people like it, there's lots of room to continue.
For the weekend, there's Search and Rescued. This started as an idea to continue Trail Head but I decided to have it be separate. I did keep the location the same though. What I will be doing is take both stories and put them in a 'series' format. They will be part of the 'Trail Tales' series. I have a few more hiking ideas floating around, and I think I've finally cracked a good conclusion to Trail Head, so I'll be working on those in the coming weeks.
Work on the new serial is still going strong, I'm hoping to have part 1 posted on either October 12th or 19th. It is a slow story (slower than The Creek) but I hope the build up will be worth it.
Thanks to everyone reading this and anything I've written. It's been fun sharing stories the past 3 months and I hope you've enjoyed it too.
