Is discouraged by a small writer 🥹, will anyone find our novel?

Promots on all channels, and then... to open the vision, tens of thousands, but no one sees our novel.

😭 little writers are also discouraged, sometimes burned out, sometimes unable to continue, motivate themselves, the last few things come back to the same thinking.

Are we not doing enough? But we have to keep trying.

Hopefully one day there will be a reader. At least one of them is good. 🥹 We want to be discovered.
