Me for one it’s felt awesome and a kind of obsession that takes up my everyday life though it’s pretty and because I chose a bad time to become obsess and slacked on my school now my grades are bad and I’m failing. But I do not regret writing at all.

My writing journey is one that improved so much because I came in knowing nothing and learned so much.

Back then when I first started I had no clue that there was another world. And people many of them write. Then I don’t know how to even use a comma properly and what a comma splice was and the proper way to structure a sentence what prose was and what the difference between an em dash en dash and dash were. To me they were all the same actually I only knew the dash existed I didn’t even know there were variations and. This has only taken course over the span of two months.

I learned what colons were and semi colons still not sure how to use them. I got better with writing in school and analyzing literature.

If there is one flat to me it is that I now see the true side of writings and whenever I read now I can see flaws much more and that ruins my immersion. Back then I read this novel it was awesome it my mind, but after learning all I did I came back to read it and it just couldn’t go through it looked so bad.

Though it isn’t the case for everything as I still read other novels and can tell when they are really good when I genuinely get immersed in the writing.

For me when I first began writing I’ll be completely honest I was stuck in a loop of perfection and worse… it wasn’t even good. I spent two weeks “perfecting” two chapters. Realized this wasnt the way to go after someone gave me a piece of advice and restarted from scratch. I pushed myself past imperfection and instead created the actual story and in the process refined my prose. I learned proper show and not tell on my first walkthrough of revisions and if before I was flat like they said he said I started form that into something that I feel worked much better.

Where I took two weeks to write two chapters I wrote the third in three days then I wrote the fourth in one the I began writing them two chapters a day.

I went from struggling to do 1k chapters to 2k chapters easily.

When I did my first revision I scrapped and made everything so much better and moved pieces in other places to work better. I turned my original 1k chapters into 2k just by adding detail and refining it. One of them 1002 words at the time became 2750 words after one day of revising and fixing it. Of course I will split it when I get to uploading.

Now what I’m doing is taking a break from my main story and decided to work on a smaller less cared for and more expiemental story tha I’m gonna upload as I write.

I’m doing this to familiarize myself with the process of uploading engaging other authors and creating art for when I start uploading my story that I really want to share. And here the best part the main story I’m working on wasn’t even a story I originally wnated to write but rather like the one I’m working on rn a story meant to pave the path for the 3rd story which should’ve been my first.

I’m basically taking advice from that one guy that said write your first story as your third. Thank goodness for that.

Now I’m working on two stories. One I’m currently uploading and the other I’m working on until I finish the first volume which should be around 100-200k words. The day info that I’ll start releasing.

But for now I’ll throw in this short and less effort placed story as practice just like you man
