James Finn yes, keep writing. I look upon curation as a sort of lottery, unrelated to the actual quality of a story. How do they evaluate a piece of fiction when everyone’s taste is different? It is discouraging when you labor over something and there’s no response, especially if it’s a story that you yourself love. But you’re writing for the readers who thrill to your writing- so even if you only touch those people please remember that their joy would be a little less if you hadn’t written the story. And that joy isn’t measured in claps.
