I wish...

I have a lot of followers for my stories. And they all tell me it's good and they love it. But I think it's crap. I enjoy writing, I love getting all my little fantasies out of my head. But I know I also lack the talent. There are so many good authors on this site, it's intimidating sometimes. And I notice how hard it is to develop characters, to describe a scene or person's expression.

There are times I get lost in the where I want the plot to go, keeping track of where I'm headed. I want to get better, but asking someone to edit or help scares me. I've always wanted to co-author stories with someone. Throw ideas back and forth, or them editing and filling in holes I lack in filling. What scares me about asking someone is the rejection. THe rejection because I am so bad at writing they find me hopeless.

I'm just rambling. I figured I would start a blog here to get the other crap in my head out. Like my shortcomings in writing. I really think I'm crap and everyone is just being nice.

I came across something that I found awesome. Something that change my point of view in writing. I mean I'm not good at writing either but this line "Is to write for yourself. Don't worry about what others think. " So , I hope it help you a little bit.

Thank you, for the encouragement. It is scary at times. I had a writer on here who's fanfics I love, she subscribed to Honey. But then she unsubscribed. I was relieved but at the same time, it knocked me down lol. I do not mind at all you sent me a friend request. I always look forward to making new friends. Just lately I've lost touch with some because life is getting in the way of my internet time lol.

I feel you, darling. That's why at some point I can't read other stories because it made me feel intimidated about my writing.

I really want to say that I totally feel you because at this moment, I have an idea of how the next chapter of my story will go, but I can't seem to find the words or scenes that would be perfect for it. Especially I've reached the part where the main leads will confess to each other. I want the chapter to be memorable.

Yes, I've also thought that the readers here are too kind. I really can't believe that my ongoing story has 100 subscribers but I honestly think it's crap.

To tell you the truth, with my anxiety, I honestly don't do well with criticisms so I'm afraid to approach editors.

But, I just saw your stories and they are nicely written. I swear, darling, you have a nice flow of sentences and good grammar.

Don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone has their writing style. Don't think too much and just enjoy.

I hope you don't mind I sent you a friend request.
