Audi 5000: It Feels Good to be a Writer
This week I reached a remarkable milestone in my journey as a writer. I finally garnered 5000 reads. When I checked my vocal stats and saw that my stories had obtained 5000 reads for some reason I felt like I was legendary. It definitely went to my head. In that moment I felt I was as incredible a writer as Stephen King and Edgar Allan Poe. It was definitely an egocentric moment.
