This subreddit! :)

It was about 2.5 years ago I wrote off and on, only for myself, and it was always directionless. The quality was generally pretty decent since I spent hours fussing over the structure of every sentence and which specific synonym to use, but word count per month was probably like 100-300. Yikes.

This subreddit pushed me to learn the new, valuable skill of writing by the seat of your pants. While writing in this style I've learned how to quickly craft a unique voice for the characters, how to create an interesting setting, and more. I don't always nail it 100% of course, sometimes I look back on what I hit "save" on the night previous and I'm like...bruh. But sometimes people enjoy it and I'm writing way more, and enjoying it more too!

In short, this sub is so friggin cool.

Same here! I don't think I'd be writing right now if it wasn't for me finding this place.
