Marcus woke to the insistent buzzing of his phone at noon, his body sprawled across his narrow dorm bed still wearing yesterday's paint-stained clothes. The afternoon sun streamed through his window with an intensity that made his eyes water, each ray seeming to carry its own weight and substance. He fumbled for his phone, squinting at the screen until Elena's name came into focus.
"You missed Hartley's critique session," her voice carried that particular blend of concern and irritation that had become familiar over their three years of friendship. "Where are you?"
My goal behind receiving fan support is not just financial — though of course that helps me continue writing without as much worry about practical limitations — but also emotional and creative. Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, and fan support, whether it comes in the form of kind words, sharing my work, or even monetary contributions, tells me that what I create resonates with people. That support allows me to grow, to take risks in my writing, and to give more back to the community that believes in me. In simple terms: fan support keeps the cycle alive. I give my stories and my heart through words, and the encouragement I receive in return becomes the fuel that helps me keep going. Ultimately, my goal is not just to ‘receive,’ but to build a relationship. I want readers to feel that they are part of the journey — that when they support me, they aren’t just helping me write another chapter, they’re shaping the existence of the story itself.
