One time I had a first reader make a comment about my story that they weren't sure what the point of it was.

I fear I have just finished the rough draft of a new story that also contains no point but gosh I really like it!

Thankful I found more time to write in September than I had all summer.
October is starting out a little iffy but we will see how it adds up.

In 18 years, the best day (by far) we've had for new subscriptions was triggered by a reader who posted two sentences and a link on Reddit. Never underestimate word-of-mouth. Thank you to everyone that has done that for us over the years. It all adds up and continues to make a difference.

I need to ask authors to really consider how physically taxing and difficult it would be to drag dead weight around and dig graves. Too many books make it sound effortless
