I so agree to your post! I was going to say the same thing. One should be satisfied by what they write. Definitely award gives a dignity in the forum, but what your stories makes the reader feel is more important!😊As long as a writer has their readers with them, why should they bother about some random awards?
Readers and members don't check sticky Awards thread most of the times, any way. So why gloat about receiving or worry about not receiving awards?If a writer writes good stuff, that piece of work alone will fetch readers. Awards come and go but the readers are the ones who stick to you.
