: Re: How to keep going after a failed project? I was posting my story on another site. After a while it sunk to the bottom. Not a big deal. But soon it seemed like everyone began to ignore it.

You have a few options:

Your story didn't fail. It just didn't find its audience on that site. Post it somewhere else.
Your story didn't fail. It just didn't find its audience right now.
Post it again in six months.
Your story didn't fail. It just needs an editor (or at least a beta
reader). Find someone to read it and help you improve it.
Your story didn't fail. It just needs some work. Put it away for
three months and work on something else (which may or may not be
writing). Come back to it three months from now and re-read it with
fresh eyes, and you'll see a whole bunch of things you can fix.
Your story didn't fail. You are relying on outside influences to
encourage you to write, which means the story is not burning a hole
in your head to be told. Put it away until you itch so badly to work
on it that you have to pick it up again.
