See Kim sha... Most times, when I write people don't drop comments. But I just rely on people's view. Then, I had a blog, so I see the way people stream down to the blog and search results. That gave me hope.

What I used to do is to know why people are not dropping comments..
And these are probable solutions.

1. Like Lleigh does( I will buy an e-gun to scare her one of these days), she would repeatedly mention you on each post update. People are following numerous stories, so they don't always have time to check for update. But upon being mentioned, they read it and drop comment or just pass by. Yet, it's effective to an extent.

2. I understand you might be using small phone etc... But you need to take a great effort to capitalise the beginning of each sentences. It's called optics on it's own. That would make readers see it as a potentially good stories.


You are not overreacting. This is a norm for every writer on Nairaland and I'm happy you've gotten to this stage. It's that point of frustration that many would fall into and make them start growing. Nevertheless, some people just die down there and that would be bad for you, the readers, and your work. So as to avoid totally sinking in the deep sea like the Titanic, just dust yourself and keep writing, lift your head up.. Meanwhile my boss, Audreytimms had written almost a full page like 32 posts before someone dropped a comment, now the story has more than 100 pages.


Let me go through your thread and see what I can do to help with structure. God help us.

NaijaChild:
Nice one..

Had to read to the end...
Thank God she didn't kill herself..

Loved the way u brought the issues together; suicide, parental problems, malpractice and rape...

Thanks.

Let's show our love. Today is one of Nairaland best's birthday.

We wish you a happy birthday.

marianneada:
Divepen1,i'm in short of words, i really appreciate, thanks so much. I feel honoured....

Thank your followers who voted for you.

As we keep writing, we want to be better in this section. But we are not island of ideas. So as regarding next month, if you have any suggestions please drop it here.

Lleigh:
Thank you to everyone who nominated me. I appreciate it.

Divepen1 thank you also.

Do you actually sleep!!

Lol.. I do, a lot at that.

rachealfst:
Divepen1 I'm honored, thanks. God bless you!

You're welcome.. Amen

CrystalsDARK:
Divepen1, Obinnau, please check the ban on my other account 'OluwabuqqyYOLO'. I posted an update and the anti-spam bot banned me. I didnt mention anyone or do anything which might have been wrong. I'd have posted the update with this account but I fear it would be banned too. Please check it as soon as you can and right what's wrong. Thank you in advance.

unbanned. Just send a mail next time. It would faster that way.

Kimkardashain:
Divepen1 so u get mind dey write story u couldnt even invite me. chai isso ryt.

Ahjh


Don't commit suicide ooooo

don't vex

KimberlyWest:
Short but interesting.

Thumbs up Divepen1.

But, did I just see the name of my church there? Dr. D.K Olukoya must see this!

Clearly, her case is not spiritual.

And for those committing suicide because of Jamb, I wonder what they will tell God.
A UNN Aspirant recently committed suicide because he didn't get up to the cut-off mark after four attempts, I know it's frustrating but taking your own life, is a big NO.

Wow.. This is becoming a big issue. God save Nigeria.
