What do you wish you had an unlimited supply of?
Let’s skip the all too obvious ones—money and time, although I could use both—and dig a little deeper.
How about unlimited readers? Well, I guess they are out there if I could find them. Perhaps I should refine the wish. How about unlimited loyal readers? It would be nice to be a best-selling author.
Now I’m getting somewhere. Sure, that would lead to the money angle I ignored, but it would also provide me with the more important ego-boost of knowing my work is appreciated. The ego-boost that would encourage me to keep writing.
While it’s true that I write my stories partly for myself, I hope that other people enjoy them. But I won’t know that unless they tell me, and not many readers leave reviews. Perhaps if I had a more loyal followers I’d get more feedback? I can wish.
But as the old saying goes, “If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.’ I can wish and I can dream but I’m willing to work for what I want. I keep trying, but I certainly haven’t found the magic formula that draws in an unlimited supply of loyal readers!What do our other authors wish for? You can find out by following the links below.
As always, please stay safe until the next time.

A few more readers that get what I’m doing would be nice. Or at the least some feedback, it would give me a clue about the validity of the path I’m on.
You can’t ask your friends or relatives – you won’t get an honest answer. That leaves strangers, and it’s hard to coerce them into doing what you want!
Yes, more readers would be nice. I learned the – if wishes were horses – differently – if wishes were horses, you’d ride them to death. Kind of morbid though.

Wow. I’ve never heard that version! I wonder where it came from?
Unlimited loyal readers. That never crossed my mind, but it’s a good one.
