I thought your story's concept was fascinating also. Intermingling narratives, but no real winners. As readers we tend to want to see a winner, so to succeed here isn't easy. But you did, I think. The proof is in wanting to read through, so the tight and edgy narrative is probably what helped.

I do think you've helped expose my writing to more people. No definitive stats on it, but I feel that is the case. And I am grateful. Keep writing and I'll do my best to return the support, as i agree with you on wanting to see original fiction succeed here at Steemit.

I am just starting a new story for NaNoWriMo. A big task - 50,000 word novel in one month. Worked on the outline already. I will be uploading it in stages, as I progress. Might have to put the Bad Trip story on hold until I finish. We'll see.
