That's a great story in just a short comment! I didn't check your novel, but I will have to take a look at your story... I bet it's great and I wish you all the luck when you self-publish it!
I think there are so many writers out there, like me, writing stuff to sit on the desktop gathering digital dust, when they could be here, sharing their stories, talking with other writers, growing, and earning a few bob for doing so. All wins.
Everyone has a story... Maybe from real life, maybe fictional, but a lot of them have some value... not just for the authors, but also for potential audiences... So, why not share it and help others? You never know to whom it will be as a "so-needed word" to read! And the engagement thing is another huge level... True two-way communication is a thing that I saw only here on this blockchain... I learned so many things from others and I hope that some learned from my stuff too (learning from my mistakes also counts 😂...)...
Hahah mistakes are the best teacher. I spent way too much on Cardano and just watched at it as it dropped, shameful. I wish I was on Hive when I was buying, I squandered my investment fund, but YOLO, still hodling, so technically haven't lost anything.
Thanks so much, it's science fiction, and I had a lot of fun writing it. All my stories are sci-fi, set in a world I've been building for a couple of years, so much has been added to it thanks to the world building community here.
