Do you really only love me for my art?

You do realize I write actual books, don't you? I spend time advertising my actual books, making art and character designs for them, and you tell me you're super excited to read it..

But when the time comes where I actually publish the story, hardly anyone reads it, and I don't understand?

Do you even look at it? Are you afraid I'm going to turn out to be a horrible writer, and that my only talent is making art for you? Because it's not.

I spend literal days on writing my books, and literally only a handful of people ever check it out.

And then I spend maybe a few minutes on a sketch, and how many people look at it? Twice as many.

And I don't get it?? I ask you to just spend a few minutes to take a look at my other work, and you never do?

And it really lowers my self esteem, it really does. I publish my story feeling wonderful about it, literally wonderful. And then a month later, hardly anyone has looked at it, and I'm feeling like sh¡t about my work.

I mean, I just do not understand.

So maybe you can tell me.

Why won't you just read my real stories?
