#but also dont rely on the internet for that i beg of you
(from someone who is too tired and too old to deal with the drama and emotional stress communities cause)
- you don’t need to put a lot of energy into reacting to people’s works. that is to say, you don’t need to put special comments on everything, or critique every excerpt, you don’t need to respond the day something is posted. all that matters when it comes to interacting is that reblogs ‘help’ more than likes.
- it doesn’t matter if you make graphics or post screenshots of your wip or just copy paste the text with no fancy nonsense at all. just share your writing however you enjoy to and don’t worry about the rest.
- peer pressure is bullshit. trends are ridiculous. mimic people if you want, but not because they ‘get more attention’ or ‘feel like they’re better than you’ or anything else beyond ‘i find this inspiring and want to learn to write this way on my own.’
- never follow writing advice for any of the reasons above either. just because someone gets 50+ reactions to a post doesn’t mean their ‘how to write good’ advice will make any fucking sense for you.
- please remember above all that tumblr isn’t real and nothing here matters. that is to say, just because you get a lot of reblogs or no interaction doesn’t mean your writing will be huge/be nothing in the real world. don’t build your ego around the interaction writeblr gives you. notes =/= worth.
