How am I doing?

Hi, newbie here. Had my first story published a few days ago. Not sure what is classed as a good or average response. Today the story is showing:

When is a Niece not a Niece?

All the comments are nice and constructive so I guess I must be doing something right. My aim is to improve my writing over time.

To get 9 hearts and 9 comments after only a day or so is pretty awesome.
Welcome to Lit...

The site isn't working very well right now, so it's a bad time to try to use the site's stats to judge your story. For instance, just now the site didn't let me read your comments.

The main things is, how did you feel about it? Are you happy with it? Have you learned from it?

Yes, that is a positive response, especially considering that voting scores have been down lately. There is a good chance that your score may start creeping up. But regardless of the score, the view totals are good for a story in that category after only two days, and your favorite and comment numbers are good. For a first story, in particular.

If you're interested, check out other stories that have been published recently in that category. Go to the Romance category hub page and you can see all the other stories published in that category in recent days.

As NotWise says, numbers tell only a part of the story, and not the main part. The main question is how much satisfaction you've gotten from publishing it.
