@MedleyMisty My response to the "insecurity" question is very similar to @CathyTea 's
What makes me insecure is when I "lose" a reader partway through. What can make this especially awkward is that (obviously I won't name names!) at least one of my readers who seemingly stopped reading my story still posts here on the forums from time to time, so I know they're around. I keep wanting to message them and be like "Pssst. Remember my story?" but that would be both annoying and awkward (especially if their answer is "yeah, I don't like it anymore.")
Another thing that bothers me/makes me feel insecure is when readers don't react to things the way I intended them to. Especially my characters. CathyTea will remember the day I got super defensive about that in the Writers' Lounge haha. I know not everyone will like every character, but when people say they don't like a character who's supposed to be likeable/sympathetic it really makes me wonder "what did I do wrong?!"
