What am I doing?!
Okay. So I’ve been thinking about this for a while – by a while, I mean about a day. Alright, I’ve been THINKING about it for longer, but I’ve only been seriously thinking about this for a day.
I should REALLY get onto explaining the idea, shouldn’t I?
It all started whirring in my head last night, when this blogger friend of mine were talking about writing.
Then, today, the idea blew up into massive proportions when I found this blogger‘s work.
On here, I’ve written one poem – you can read it here – yeah, self-promotion right there!
Can you see where I’m going from here?
I’ll straight out say it: I want to create a blog for my writing.
I have some questions, though: would you be interested in reading? Is this a good idea?
I have a Wattpad account, but I never use it. The community there scares me a little because of the sheer size of it, and it’s also because I don’t think I could keep up with two communities. That’s the truth.
I’d post short stories on there more than poetry, and hopefully, once I get ideas, I could post chaptered novels.
I’ve created this sort of fantasy world in my head, and I could write about that. I could write about so many things; the only question is, should I?
So: should I do this? I’d love your input!
Thanks, everyone!
From Elm 🙂
Just Call Me Elm or Something 
Follow your bliss! If writing makes you happy and you have the need to create, go for it and don’t let anyone hold you back! Best wishes 😊
Thank you so so much! 🙂
This is such a good idea and you should so do it! I’ll definitely be reading it as short stories are my favourite:)
Ahhh thank you! 🙂 Just trying to think of a title… Elm’s Writing Treehouse?
I love that! Or Elm’s writing corner!xxx
I know – I’ll write all the title suggestions down!
YES. Do it.
That I will! 🙂
Hey elm! ☺️
This is amazing! I’ve never met another blogger who loves writing short stories/poems like me!!
I also, have a Wattpad account where I have the short stories from my blog on there and a couple fanfictions of a show I love; Pretty Little Liars.
I think you should try Wattpad, because it’s an amazing community and I’ve met a few nice people on there. It’s just the case of being the one to approach them.
If your still not sure then yeah, you should put some up on here as I love reading them as much as writing them but Wattpad WAS created for story writing. Just a thought.
I hope you make a good decision for you! ☺️
Thank you! 🙂
I do love Wattpad, and the people, it’s just that I don’t know if I’ll have enough time to cope with keeping up with two communities. Usually, for me, things build up and I get too stressed and I scrap one, or the other, and I can’t let that happen. But thank you so much for your input 🙂 What’s your Wattpad name?
It’s tsb365, and don’t worry. Wattpad is actually a really relaxed community. And I’m totally the same about the starting something and then never finishing it. But isn’t everyone?
Isn’t it obvious? If you could write, you should do it. Put whatever creativity is in your head into words, pictures, notes etc. Creativity is not something to be kept locked away. Let it out, get it out. It’s a good feeling to share it with people who know how to appreciate it, who can give you useful feedback. It’ll provide and open up new perspectives to improve your writing or try different styles. I’ve read your lyrics and I really liked them. Go ahead 🙂
Thank you so so much! 🙂 I definitely will. Also, I’m so glad you like my lyrics. That means so much.
You’re welcome. I guess I also mentioned that in one of my emails 🙂 Looking forward to reading more of your creative writing 🙂
Thank you!
If you want to, then please do! I’d love to read your stuff! 🙂 If you’re not too sure about committing to a new blog for writing, maybe you could try a few posts on here with your writing to get used to it? Just do what you feel like doing.
Hmm… It’s not the committing; I’m just worried they’ll be crap hehe
They’ll be great! And even if they’re not the best when you start, you’ll get better! 🙂
YES! DO IT GUURL! That’s a great idea! Might help to get some of your feelings out too! Can’t wait!! 🙂 xx
I’m so so excited now! Thank you! 🙂 And yes, you’re right; it most likely will help me! Writing always does.
Go for it , gurl ! I’ll be more likely interested because I love reading stories ha😄
