Rant 03. The Reasons why I write

❊Dear Diary❊ » From the Mind of AFF users

by IceDragonHikari

 

Why do I write?

I write because it relaxes me, I'm not stressed out or anything; I just feel more at piece with my writing. It just sort of takes me away for a bit from the real world, I love using my imagination and writing has helped me do that ^^ I can create new worlds, character's, creatures just about anything.

When people say 'Oh you shouldn't write about this, or that' I just laugh at them honestly.

I'm not writing for YOU I'm writing for ME.

I enjoy it when people smile when they read my stories, I like it when they laugh if there's humor in my stories, it makes me feel good especially if that person had a bad day and my story cheered them up.

Don't be afraid to write.

Write about anything you want, whatever comes to mind. Yes I know guides on here are helping you; but some of the guides that complain about cliched stories you need to have a look at your writing my friend. We've all written and have cliched stories, no matter how original you try to make it everything has been done before.

Don't write for anyone but yourself. Write because it's your passion, your hobby.

I want to make a living off of my books someday; I'm working on trying to reasearch on how to get my novella published.

I'm not in it just for the money, I just want to make a living off of my books. I also plan on going to Korea someday, in about one or two year's hopefully when my mom and I save up for it.

I'm not going just for K-Pop either, those groups travel everywhere in the world so it's not because of that. ^^

Oops went off topic for a bit ha ha.

I know my writing isn't the greatest, I know my grammar isn't the greatest, but I'm working on it. I have a non-verbal learning disability it turns out; I have a hard time understanding even the basics of grammar; so if you're a grammar freak try to be patient with me please ^^;

If you tell an author there story when it clearily doesn't, you need to get off your pedestal and have a look at your own writing. Think about the author's feelings.

If you're ranting up a storm about cliches well guess what: You're stories are cliched too.

 

And that's it I guess.

I'm sorry if this offended anyone, I'm just voicing my thoughts here; I'm tired of good author's being bashed on here, just because they're stories are 'cliched' or whatever. All the stories I've subscribed too have AMAZING author's, ones I look up too and feel I can ask for advice if I need it ^^ So kudo's to HellsRainbow, suzukikasami, JoonieMoon, YoBuddy, OnKeyStory, KimYunjae, ZaraNK1, erodedfiction, and...the rest XD Sorry I can't name all of you on here, I have at least...three hundred subscription's lol. But you guy's are all awesome!

Chapter 13: I don't understand the whole ullzang thing. Personally, I think a lot of them look pretty creepy, especially the boys. The only ullzang I particularly enjoy is Hong Younggi. They're cute only cute sometimes. I mean it's pretty stupid of me to say this, even though each culture has its own ideals, but ullzangs are definitely the epitome of Korean superficiality. Unrealistically and exaggerated, that is.

Chapter 14: I don't get how a kpoper can be homophobic. It's just not possible to not come across something gay in the kpop world.

I'm a hardcore 2min shipper and I guess I kind of do the "2min is real because of this" thing but I always mean it as a joke. Idk if it always comes off as a joke, but it is, I know my ship or any ship, especially homoual, probably isn't real but it's fun to believe.

And about being able to tell if someone is gay, I try to actually judge this after watching them on reality shows, bts, concerts, etc. I feel like you can tell from the little things they do without even realizing they're doing it. I mean take nu'est for example, you would automatically think Ren is gay, he had a freaking fairy wand in his bag because he thought it would come in handy, what is more gay than that? But tbh I think Aron acts gayer (more gay?) than Ren does. He's really touchy-feely with the other members and sometimes I swear to god he's trying to flirt with them. I guess Ren kind of does it too but to me it seems kind of deliberate and fanservice-y.

Chapter 14: Ah I use that response to if one of my friends in real life asks me that I'll say 'So what even if he is gay? Won't stop me from liking him, at least I'm not a homophobic' or something along the lines.

And to you fangirls/fanboys that would literally turn your back on your favorite group if one of the members came out and said they were gay shame on you. I've heard fangirls say crap like 'Oh I hope oppa isn't gay' please so what even if he is? =.= Delusional fangirls...nice to see more open-minded ones :) I'd love them even more if they did come out and say they were gay or lesbian ^^ Love is love.

I'm a hardcore Yunjae shipper also but even if Yunho or Jaejoong may have girlfriends or like girls I'm still gonna ship them or any pairing I like and still support the group no matter what ^^ Some fangirls give up on a pairing because 'they don't think it's real' and it's like...*facepalms*

Chapter 7: Oh my god the rant pissed me off a bit. Why do fangirls try so hard to prove their idols are straight and not gay or lesbian? Who cares what their uality is! If my bias came out and said they were gay I'd still support them >< (Haven't read that one)

I hate it so much when people bash fangirls saying 'Our oppas are not gay stop writing fics on them!!' ...Yeah uh have they not heard of freedom of speech? We can write whatever the hell we want.

If people have a problem with , DON'T ____ING READ IT AND PRETEND YOU NEVER SAW IT IF YOU DID READ IT.

Yes I'm a little harsh here but it's natural to defend something you love. I don't care for hetero but good god I don't write a tone of rants on how much I hate straight couples. GROW UP PEOPLE PLEASE.

Phew! Sorry if I offended you, not sure if you're a fan or not but if you are..I'm sorry you had to upload that rant, I wouldn't have accepted it personally if it was bashing users that write .
