FAQ: What are the most visited pages on this website and how many visits do they get?
Several years ago, I wrote an article on how to write different types of magic uses, or rather how I personally write various types of magic users within the context of my Quaraun books. Today that page is one of my top ten most visited articles. It gets 50 to 500 views/reads/hits/visits per day depending on the time of the years and has had over 200k visits total since it was published.
Amphibious Aliens: Debunking The Atwater Family's Alien Abduction Hoax with more then 30MILLION reads since 2007 and The GoldenEagle: Debunking Stephen King's World's Most Haunted Car Hoax with over tenMILLION reads since 2007 still rank as the two most visited articles on my website, but, neither of those are writing related.
Writing Medieval Servants is my most visited writing related article with over 7MILLION reads.
This website was started in 1996 and has 1 to 3 new articles (all written by me, I am the only writer on this site) published almost daily. In 2017 we crossed ten thousand articles published. As of 2023, EACH article gets MINIMUM 10 to 70 reads PER DAY, with the high traffic articles getting 500+ reads per day.
And since December 2019, my website now gets three hundred thousand to 7 million reads per month - well over ONE HUNDRED MILLION PAGE READS PER YEAR, making it not only the single most trafficked site in the State of Maine, but also one of the most visited websites in ALL OF NEW ENGLAND!

I can't stand to read anymore because I can't get interested in anything that isn't my own writing. Anyone else have this problem? Do you have any idea how to fix this? from writing
>I can't stand to read anymore because I can't get interested in anything that isn't my own writing. Anyone else have this problem? Do you have any idea how to fix this?
Yep. Same thing.
I used to write Sci-Fi because I loved reading Sci-Fi. But after a while I hated reading Sci-Fi. Could only read Sci-Fi I wrote and no one else's. I'd be all "They shouldn't write it this way" or "If I had written that, I'd have done...". That was in the 1980s. Then because I was writing Sci-Fi but got too annoyed every time I read Sci-Fi, I started reading Fantasy.
Well, guess what happened? I started nit-picking Fantasy apart. I loved the IDEA f Fantasy stories but I couldn't find any I really liked. I'd like characters from this one and plot lines from that one, but never everything from all of them. Soon I was saying "I wish there was a story about..." or "I wish someone would write a character who was..."... I wanted to see Gypsies in Fantasy, who were treated like real people instead of being stuck in as some mumbo-jumbo magical being trope. I wanted to see the Elves of the rest of the world (outside of Medieval times; outside of Europe). What were Elves like in ancient Persia? What were Elves like in the Yukon goldrush? Why are there no transvestite main characters? Transgender yes. Transsexual, yes. But ransvestite? Not a one. Why are Fairies always frail females? Why does nobody write blood-thirsty, human eating monster style Fae like existed in Scottish folklore? There were no novels out there to answer these questions. It frustrated me. I wanted to read these stories but no one had written them.
I had no trouble finding Sci-Fi I loved reading, but whenever I wrote Sci-Fi, I'd get too hung up on comparing mine to theirs and couldn't read it.
Then the solution hit me...
I LOVE reading Sci-Fi, but every time I write Sci-Fi I get too picky in comparing it to my own and stop reading it.
I love the IDEA of Fantasy and WANTED to read it, but couldn't find anything I actually enjoyed.
The solution?
Read Sci-Fi and write Fantasy!
I know every one says to read the genre you write, but for me that advice just doesn't work.
Well, in the end, today, I write Fantasy novels. All those characters I wanted to see but couldn't find? I write them! My main character is a transvestite. He travels with Gypsies. (yes he is the correct pronoun for a transvestite - if you didn't know that then you don't know the difference between a transvestite and a transgender person.) The Gypsies are REAL Gypsies - NOT belly dancing travelling nomad thieving half naked sluts, but rather stick moral, half bred children of Muslim mothers and Jewish on the run from murderous anti-semites. In Persia. And Canada. In a world plagued with blood-thirsty Faeries. All those settings I yearned for but were not out there? I write them!
So, now, I write Fantasy and never read any Fantasy other than my own - yes, I do read my own books. My fave book, is Screaming Unicorn, I've read it a dozen times plus now. I am my own biggest fan. LOL! :P
But here's the thing... now I can read all the Sci-Fi I want, no problem! Now that I'm no longer writing Sci-Fi, I'm back to reading every Sci-Fi book I can get my hands on.
So, for me, the solution was to write one genre and read a different genre... thus I'm still being ever more obsessed with reading and re-reading my own novels, because I've absolutely fallen in love with my 3 main characters. :)

Are you an evil man?
Are you sure you're not?
How many people have YOUR hate filled words killed?
Next time you go to do a mean thing to a fellow human, stop and really think about the consequences of your actions.
Did you ever notice how every one has a story to tell about me, yet not one of them ever speaks the truth?
What lies has YOUR gossiping tongue spread about me?
Did you know...
October 16, 2006, bomb blew up my house because of YOUR lies.
August 8, 2013, the house which replaced the one the bomb blew up, was driven over by a backhoe.
November 14, 2013, my 8 month old infant son was murdered because of your lies.
November 14, 2013, I was beaten up, paralized for 5 months, spent 18 weeks relearning to walk, I'm now crippled for the rest of my life, because of YOUR lies.
Are you proud of what you have done?
Enjoy your eternity in Hell. You earned it. You've certainly worked hard for it.
