It isn't just here. I can't even get my own family interested in reading anything I write. I tell my husband or my daughters I've written something, and it's all, "I don't have time right now," but then they don't want to pin down when they will have time, and then somehow they just never get around to reading it. If they ever do, here come the eye rolls and the heavy sighs. They're just reading it to humor me. OK, OK, I get the hint. You don't care, and you aren't interested. I suck.

Should I just give up on the whole idea? Or more accurately, HOW LONG AGO should I have given up on the whole idea?
This is reason that I only answer posts and don't start many where I actually have questions. I wish I could offer more, but I know in my case I tend to surround myself With selfish people that are only interested in their own concerns. I've given up my writing because I can't even get loved ones to read it.

Long story short, never count on replies here. At best, just consider anything you get a bonus.
