Look, the writeblr thing isn’t for every writer out there. I’ve tried it. My posts on writing don’t gain traction. I can’t make fancy mood boards, discord groups move way too fast for me, excerpts of mine get little interest, and, most importantly, I don’t have anything new to say about writing. Does that suck sometimes? Sure. But, at the end of the day, it’s fine!
I’ll keep writing. I won’t concern myself with making it marketable to this platform. I’ll submit to agents. Maybe one day, I’ll be published. Maybe not. But, really, most of the population isn’t on Tumblr which means most of your future readers aren’t on Tumblr either. They don’t give a shit if you can make a meme out of your ocs or overlay snow on a mood board. They care about your story.
So, while it might be nice to have people really excited about my work, it’s the work that’s the important part. So what if this community isn’t for you! So what if people aren’t sending you dozens of asks about your ocs! Just write, man. It’ll find the right people. You’ll find the right people. But, you’ve got to write it first and worrying about how to gain followers on here is only going to get in the way of that.
