rania ive been writing for years now and i wanna start posting but im nervous…any tips?
hi nini!! oh goodness i'm bad at tips when it comes to writing BUT... let me try and help you out as best as i can *cracks knuckles*
don't let fear hold you back! it takes a lot of courage to put your work out there. honestly i was scared like hell before i started posting a few years back because i was scared of lack of interaction and that i wasn't good enough. but whenever i hit that post button for the first time i felt this wave of relief? that even if no one noticed my work i knew i took a big step because i am allowing myself to go down a path of personal and creative growth
focus more on WHY you are writing than who you are writing for, etc. writing is a passion, a hobby, and if you focus more on that passion than anything else it can help in getting rid of those fears. if it’s something you love, then continue it
remember that it doesn't need to be perfect! there is no such thing as being perfect at writing, not every post needs to be perfect, aesthetically pleasing, or 100% gramatically correct. progress is more important than perfection. embracing growth is more important than perfection
let the little things be your victory, whether it's receiving likes, reblogs, comments, etc. celebrate even posting a singular piece of work or writing one sentence. anything!
surround yourself w people who are supportive. like me for example, I GOTCHU. i understand your fear and i will not be afraid of lending a listening ear if you need me <3
take the leap, my friend, i know you can do it. but go at your own pace. you are your own person and in control of what you post and write, don't let anyone tell you otherwise
i feel like i went off-topic for some of this oops, but i really hope some of these can help?? jasldkjald but just know i'm here for you and i support you if you choose to post <3
