As an update, I think I’ve kicked my fallout habit (which was interfering with writing...), time will tell. Dale’s Game, chapters 9-12, and most of 14 are basically finished. Yes, I’m holding back on posting chapters, likely until I complete 19, because this section is very prone to deus ex, which I want to avoid, and so the details need to be consistent. (And “19” is just an estimate as chapters can split off, what happened yesterday leaving 14 about a thousand words short of being done...) Once this section of chapters is done, I expect to resume posting. Cheers, - DP

PWPs can be useful, so I won’t dismiss them. I started writing a PWP a few years ago (still unpublished), and the questions that arose out of, well, it became a jumping off point to the original stories that I am publishing. Once I evolve my universe/stories to the point in time that the PWP occurs, it won’t be so much PWP anymore.

It’s tough to tell. My best metric has been to record the dragon prints (hit counter). When I see that it goes up a hundred hits in a day after I post a chapter, consistently, then it’s reasonable to conclude that there are people who are enjoying it. Some people say it doesn’t matter, but it does, because I wouldn’t put as much effort in to polish/post the chapters otherwise. And when you get somebody who’s reviewing, consistently, cherish them

Cash *is* a review, IMO.

I’ve got original, unfinished, stories with a load of warning tags, so, yeah, I kinda feel like my stories are underappreciated given the hit counter and handful of reviews. However, I also recognize that there’s an element of luck here, either your brilliance is found out, or not. Some marketing does help the odds, but in the end, it’s still luck.
