Writers Thread!
Hey everyone!
I couldn't find any recent threads on writing, so I decided to create one!
I'm very passionate about my writing, although recently I haven't been writing that much. I'm constantly creating stories/ characters in my head. My biggest problem is getting my ideas onto a page (or word document) without perfectionism taking over. I usually like to write novels (though I've never finished any) or short stories, and I like writing journals when I can. I keep getting ideas for some poetry but I'm not confident enough to experiment with free-form quite yet.
All are welcome: from journalers to novel writers to poets!
@mspaceK - Thanks so much for sharing! It's always awesome to read your work, and it makes me really happy I started this thread so you can do so! Also, a big thanks to you and @Tiny_leaf for your advice, I know just something on the paper is better than nothing at all (and nobody will read/ judge my first drafts, anyway!). I'm hoping I can get back into it again.
@letitgo - Yay! What are your novels about, if you don't mind me asking? Again, I always love seeing what other people are working on and the little worlds they create!
Thanks, @Hozzles! The first novel is about a young woman who meets hr childhood best friend on a cruise ship. And the other is about a young woman who spends a year in a town in Belguim which has a really progressive approach to mental health.
I've also just started a short story based on the fact that my brother's school was evacuated the other day - I love how unexpected events can turn into story ideas! 🙂
Wow @Tiny_leaf . I haven't read a poem in a really long time. Thank you for sharing that. There are some underlying themes there. Did you just make that up or have it written elsewhere?
You're welcome. And I have a whole heap of poems that I've written, I think that one was from a month or two ago.
I am really happy that you made this thread @Hozzles . It was something I was thinking about making for a while but never got around to it, so thank you.
I really like to do journal writing. It helps to get stuff off my chest and express my thoughts in a safe way, rather than acting on them.
I'm a huge day dreamer, always creating stories in my mind and going on adventures - usually fan-fiction from movies, tv shows or books i've been reading/watching recently. I like to pretend I am a part of the world and what I would have done and change the endings and things like that.
I also have several story ideas in my writing books that I have planned out and started writing, but just haven't fully continued on with. I get writers block often so I really only write when I feel like it. It is something I would like to get into more.
