If you love your writing, just think how exciting it would be to be someone that just stumbled across it. Someone with similar interests that's looking for writing the same way you look for things to read and comes across your writing that checks off all the pieces they're looking for.

Your writing is worth writing. Even if you think you're the only person that cares, write it!

You'd be surprised how many people probably fell in love with it and just are too nervous or shy to tell you.

And even if not, you love it. You have fun writing it. You love your characters. They deserve to have their story told.

You are never letting a WIP rot. You are doing it a service. Your WIP is a sourdough starter and the five words you wrote that one day were all it needed to sustain itself. It will bubble and be ready when you are.

[iloveyou-writers]

A list of all of your characters' names and maybe a BRIEF description of each of them and just let your followers know you're looking for asks to get the ball rolling on figuring out what they want to see you post about

Picrews of your characters so people can get a feel of what they all look like (or if you're an artist, your own artwork of them)

Character profiles - any information you've created about them

Links to your other writing profiles where you post writing or sites like characterhub where you post about other aspects of your writing (ie chaacters or setting)

Participate in STS/WBW - make sure to send asks! It'll signal to other writers you're interested in participating!

Reblogging or even creating ask games (they're a lot more fun/simple to create than it may seem) so that your shier followers can have a list of questions to pick from

Post links to your writing quizzes you've created to help people relate to your writing in some way

Talk about the fandoms that you write for, get people in the know about your fandoms first before introducing your actual writing

Worldbuilding tidbits - start a thread of just random information about your world that you can post on whenever you think of new cool info

WIP intros - similar to character profiles, create WIP intros that people can read to learn about your WIPs (these are incredibly fun to create)

Have you heard about the Powerpoint meme that was started by @incandescent-creativity? Make one for your wips and post it!

Random daydeam-y thoughts you had about your WIPs or characters

Shitposts

Talking about your process for writing, what you love, what you hate, what you wish you could change, what you'd never change, etc.

Talk about AU ideas for your current WIPs and how you think they'd change the WIP as a whole

Ask open-ended questions to start conversation with other writers and learn about the massive different kinds of writers on this site (it's truly amazing sometimes just learning about how different writers are)

Think of something you're really curious about and just start sending it to all of your writer mutuals... see how interestingly different their replies are and reply in a reblog. Start a conversation.

Creature designs - create cool, unique creatures and post about their unique features

Make character/WIP appreciation posts where you just post all of your favorite things about a character or WIP you've created

Just reblogged a post asking what to post about as a new writeblr blog, and now I'm feeling inspired to post about this topic... so here are some ideas of things that you, as a writer, can begin posting (or can post more of) on your writeblr... this list is by no means exhaustive. There are sooo many topics, it's impossible to cover them all, but if you struggle to think of what to post about, here are some ideas.

Write what you want.

Take care of yourself.

Take breaks when you need to.

[iloveyou-writers]

It's okay if you're scared. Or nervous... or anxious... or uncertain. It's okay. These are natural feelings when you're doing something new or something that you really want to work out.

However, don't let these feelings stop you from doing the project, okay? If you really want it, if it's sets your heart on fire... don't let fear put the fire out. 💖

For those over here that showed interest.

I did branch out a little further than just having it about my pregnancy, but it's a deeper delve into my mind and experiences. For anyone that is curious about me outside my positivity posts.

💖

Several people have expressed interest in my idea for my pregnancy blog/podcast. I have decided to branch out further and turn it into a space to discuss my past trauama, current pregnancy and trauma that's come with the pregnancy and when the time comes, motherhood.

I hope you'll join me. Eventually, I will be turning this into a podcast but for now, it's simply a publication.

Thanks to anyone that showed interest!

(forewarning: a lot of really heavy topics will be touched on with this publication. Please be careful before reading the posts on this publication)

Let your passion consume you. It's not weird, it's not cringey or gross. Let yourself be swept away by your adoration for your passion project and sweep us up in it with you.

10 votes on yes (because I too voted yes so taking my vote out), 6 on the I feel like you're onto something and 3 on nah.

I like these numbers ❤️❤️ I've added a little more to my idea since posting this but it looks like most people agree I'm onto something here. Thank you to all that voted ❤️❤️

Oh speaking of the bed thing... so I have been considering possibly starting my own podcast just for funsies.

And the latest idea I had was a podcast about my journey in pregnancy (and when I have my baby, in motherhood). I'm sure its been done a thousand times, but I'm sure anything I'd come up with has... and just because it's been done before, doesn't mean it wouldn't be worth pursuing.

Especially being a high-risk pregnancy with an issue that isn't SUPER common... could make it more interesting. 🤔

Idk. Anyone think that could be interesting? Anyone feel they might be interested to listen to a podcast from me like that?

I was also considering it following my writing journey as a pregnant woman/new mother too, which could add another more unique layer than just being about pregnancy & motherhood.

🤔

You go, you creative deity, you. ❤️ keep it up.

[iloveyou-writers]

When you spread love to writers and encouragement and positivity and admiration, just remember......... you're a writer too. Those things pertain to you too. 😉

You funky, sweet, lovable writer. Give yourself a hug for me. 💗

[iloveyou-writers]

Just a reminder that there's nothing wrong with giving up if that's truly what you want to do.

If you're just giving up because you're frustrated, take a break.

If you're just giving up because some asshole on anon told you to, give them the middle finger, take a deep breath, and keep going.

If you're just giving up because you're afraid to fail... failure is a part of life. You won't be truly living if you only do what you think you KNOW you will succeed in.

Keep going if that's what you want, but if you truly, truly want to quit, then don't let anyone try to tell you that isn't okay.

That's completely okay.

And if later, you realize that you don't want to live without it, pick it back up. That's perfectly okay too.

Do what you want. Stop letting others dictate it for you. 💖 Either way, I'm rooting for you and your happiness.

Keep writing.

Stop letting the made up comments that never occurred because you never actually wrote the thing stop you.

Stop letting the comments that have occurred on other writing stop you.

Stop letting the comments of haters that the story wasn't meant for stop you.

Stop letting others telling you that your writing sucks or doesn't deserve to exist stop you.

I'm telling you now: it deserves to exist. You deserve to have your stories told. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to love your writing and to love the act of writing.

You deserve to write your story. So stop letting others make you doubt that. ❤️

Do what you love. Be damned those that try to stop you. ❤️

[iloveyou-writers]

I love your writing, even if you don't yet

[iloveyou-writers]

Life isn't perfect. People's choices and the things they say don't always make sense.

Use this to your advantage. Life doesn't just line up perfectly for people, so stop expecting your story to line up perfectly and make perfect sense. Sometimes things just happen and there's no rhyme or reason for it. You don't have to have an understandable cause for every tiny thing that happens.

Sometimes it just does, and that is perfectly okay. 👍🏾 Don't let not understanding why this thing would happen prevent you from making The Thing. Okay? Perfect. :)

Happy writing.
