Confessions of A Writer-holic

[jiemae]

y'all are cute omf, i didn't start writing smut until only recently lmfao i've always been too shy

[Penni]

I still do it from time to time, I've just accepted my inner perv and have transformed it!

[laiscnogueira]

1) Third serial story starter here. As a kid I didn't have many people to play with, only my older bro, but he was 8y older so most of the time our agendas didn't match. My grandma would watch over me and I would make these crazy stories to tell her during meals or at night. I used my dolls 'n VHS tapes 'n furniture and literaly anything lying around to make my scenario and play my stories. Some of them I remember and plan to write about sometime in the future, but most of it was spur of the moment and is long forgotten. Mind you, the embarassing part is most of these stories involved me being the MC and saving/changing the world in some dramatic way. My work on Tapas show you where my tendencies led...

2) I'm a very open and chatty person both at the forums and IRL, but when it comes to things that I write I'm very embarassed. All that I put on paper (or on screen) feels very personal, so when friends and family read my work I get so red that there is probably no blood is running to my brain. I blame that on my big bro who once read out loud to my family a poem I wrote and didn't mean to share...

3) I enjoy reading those corny erotic novels sometimes, the very, very silly ones with covers that tell you they are full of stereotypes and possibly not-that-mentally-stable-alfa-male characters. They are awful and I know it. But every once in a while it's nice reading something light and stupid like that. And recently I have been thinking that I would want to write one, or maybe a parody of one. I dunno, it's just so out of the range of things I ever wrote that I feel like trying.

[nascentechuva]

As much as we harp on stereotypes, I think none of us would ever limit the kinds of things others write. I say go write whatever you want, if it makes you happy. After all, we have that freedom. And don't be afraid of embarrassment, it's usually in our minds.

Except if we miss a hand shake, that cringe lasts forever. Father Chuva says, 3 prayers on the steps of a mountain temple.

[laiscnogueira]

Worse than the hand shake might be when someone say something that you shouldn't answer with "thanks, you too" and yet you do, because brain farts...

[Klaustasya]

1) I just like teen comedies/urban fantasy/romantic stories and comics too much, and they get even better when sex stands in the way (Yeah, i'm low-key perverted for that stuff)

2) Once upon a time i used to write pokemon fanfictions with ships and i was pretty popular too on some sites. One day i go check the reviews from my readers and 20 of them were all positive, and i was like WOAH i'm a damn writer, man! untill at the bottom line of the last comment i read "I don't know why you keep using the word UNESCO though, you probably meant "unison" but you should change it because you're using that lot and in a wrong way and people now keep thinking that the word UNESCO means unison. Anyway good story, you're great! I LOVE YOU BYEEE!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,So i quit with fanfictions. (My family still laught at me for that, I WAS JUST 12 OKAY?!)

3) Sometimes i get so envious of other people's works that the immature artist inside of me start getting the worst of me out and makes me look so unfriendly, cold and spiteful LOL i have so many complexes xD

4) I'm a chainsmoker and i won't probably stop anytime soon, so i guess i'm gonna die before pubblishing a real comic haha stay tuned about my lungs health

[MariMontoya]

1) My name was given to me by my old highschool friends and inspired from The Princess Bride
2) Never wrote fanfics and never had any interest in reading them either. Not really sure if that's a confession
3) I got bored easily in school so to stay awake I wrote poems/songs/stories on the desks. They were the kind that you could use markers so I would erase them. Sometimes, though, I would leave them for the next class to find. I even did it in labs with a pencil on the desk(I would erase afterwards) or my notes. In some classes teachers let me write stuff on the boards like poems or quotes. Only my friends knew it was me lol.
Oh yeah, I'm a serial story starter too and got no shame in it lol, I have to write down whatever idea I have regardless of whether it continues or not. That way I can always come back and remember.

[nascentechuva]

Oddio, in bocca al lupo, my child LOL. Fanfictions bring out both the best and worse within us, but never fear the advice. Before you compare yourself to anyone, take note of your strengths and take a deep breath. And quit smoking @#$$%@!

20 years of isolation for you and me.

[nascentechuva]

I friggin love the Princess Bride. I remember watching it and being like "alright, so blonde dudes aren't so bad in actual depiction." The second one is a confession, and you shall pay for your crimes. Both in school and out.

Biggest misconception for readers is that people think we were all wonderful students. If they only knew. I was a desk writer as well.

90 years of smutty fanfiction reading. Father Chuva out.

[ratscout]

1. I used to write THOSE kinds of stories. You know... The one everyone writes when they first start out about angels and demons. To be fair to me, however, my characters have always been weirdos, so at least it wasn't the typically super-hot angel dude or something.
   Here he is!
   

   

2. I wrote a really terrible book when I was like ten-years old about the same angel dude only it was MUCH worse which is saying something LOL. It was overly complex, had 800 characters, and had really dumb plotpoints.

3. I've been writing for a long time--ever since I had this weird dream about a girl with a red bow who was falling and I wrote a short story about it. Oddly enough, I still kinda like the story where I hate my first book (maybe this is where my love of short-form as opposed to long-form stories comes in...)

I've never written straight up smut before and I've never written fan fiction or werewolves, though XD I have written things that have sexy stuff in them I guess? LOL

[hariotezawa]

Forgive me father for I have sinned,

I guess we should start at the beginning: High school was a funny time. They want you to dictate how you want to spend the rest of your adult life during the period where you mind is biologically the least equipped to make any decision for anything regarding your life path.I had chosen to be an award winning director for heart-wrenching short films. I had it all planned out. Then I realized something:

I was broke.

The only reason I even took up the paper and pen was because films costed a lot of money. Turned out to be the best creative decision I've ever made! Who needs money when you have imagination?! #pleasesendmemoneyihaventeateninseveralmonthsmomyouwereright)

Another thing that my family likes to shamefully sub tweet me for during new years is I am a serial drunk poet. When I have one too many virgin pina coladas, I blush bright red, start dancing of beat, singing off key... and start reciting original poems to random people on my phone: parents, friends, exes, the uber driver who takes me home; no one is safe.

The last thing that I keep hidden inside me and don't mention at fun college parties is that I unironically love Nickelback. I... I have no excuse... I just really like their music. I remember picking up guitar for the sole reason to impress the pretty girls in my class, and one of the first songs I learned was photograph. Needless to say, I'm single. I've been to not one, not two, not three, but four of their concerts, and you bet your sweet candy ass I'd go again.

So yeah... How bout that World Cup huh? Craaazy.

I'll see myself out...

[nascentechuva]

It should be a requirement to have that one character we all start with, they just evolve with us. I have a couple of old short stories too. Once I wrote a story about a ghost who encouraged a girl to think highly of herself. It was about my best friend who was struggling with appearance issues, and it was terribly written, but she liked it nonetheless. I also liked that story a lot more than the stories about wolves I used to write. Huh, maybe I also like short form more.

I would give you a penance, but your angel dude is pushing me to cut you some slack. You're off this time, kid. Father Chuva away.

[nascentechuva]

We have a phrase for you at the church, son. Hot mess. Oddly enough, I started out wanting to be a singer, but I sucked at lyrics and holding a note. Maybe because, like you, I'm incapable of holding my faculties in front of people. I suggest more writing, consider it our form of therapy.

I'll let you off lightly because I, too, am a heathen for Nickelback.

20 years of being "that dude with a guitar" at parties. Peace

[hariotezawa]

To my fellow brother of the guitar guy order (GGO) I would just like to say thank you for your service in the never ending battle with the dude with the aux cord.

No matter how much bass that beats pill got, I can strum louder.

[alliascompany]

1)When I was a kid, I used to just opened up books and make up stories based on the pictures.

2)Pretty sure because of confession number one I didn't learn how to read until I was around the third grade.

3)I cannot draw or write fan-fiction. It's been drilled into me that any type of copying is BAD. But, I still like looking at Fan-art, and reading funny little fan-fic comics and watching dubs of said fan-fics on you-tubes.

4)Took me like twelve years to finally finish a story about a detective trying to find a princess' missing necklace. Don't know why I kept coming back to it XD. In the end I turned into a script for a comic and that's when I finally finished the whole thing.

[nascentechuva]

Some of us are late bloomers. And given the amount of bad grammar in r/oldpeoplefacebook, I would say some of us never actually bloom. Take into your heart the fact that you'll always outshine my own grandmother.

When it comes to fanfiction, even if it's not directly, it always finds away to creep into people's minds.

Both you and I have something in common, it takes us years to pull through on a story. Luckily for you, you have an interesting plot. I-I-I had..uh...we'll talk about that when everyone on this site ages about 50 years.

10 days of kneeling over your current projects, and if you don't have one, make one. Father Chuva sends prayers<3

[nascentechuva]

The church is closed boys, girls and all that may or may not lie in between. But feel free to continue leaving your confessions.

[ratscout]

I love the idea of a ghost encouraging a girl to think highly of herself. That's adorable! XD

Thank you for cutting me flack, Father Chuva XD

[Klaustasya]

Woah, are you italian? XD loool no, i can't possibly quit smoking haha addicted by nature, it's in my DNA unfortunately ::

[monotone_ink]

1) As a young boy, I really loved romance stories - to the extent where I would draw my favorite pairs doing lovey dovey stuff together. I eventually became disillusioned with this though, knowing that it was something I would never experience. Been trying to warm up to romance stories again though - they're comfy when you find good ones.

2) I liked sonic the hedgehog a lot and he got me started on drawing too. Good times.

3) I once drew a 10 page hentai doujin out of sheer frustration - in that a very sexy character in a certain series had a criminal lack of pornographic content. I took on the mantle of making it myself. I do not intend to stop.

4) The majority of my stories are heavily ripped off of the media I like, and considering this, I don't know if it's ethical to continue writing my stories. I have nothing new to bring to the table.

6) My best stories are written either when I haven't slept for 3 days straight, or am completely miserable. Do I be happy, or do I write decent stories? It's a difficult pick.

5) I can't count

7) I consider story writing to be the only thing I can offer to the world - my entire life depends on this skill. Even if I lose my eyes, my fingers, or my voice, I would like to continue telling stories nonetheless. Without this ability, I am practically dead.

8) I'm Asuka Langley Sohryuu! Nice to meet you! "What are you, stupid?!" Chaaaaaance. No! That's not me!

9) My characters are based off of real people I know - I fear that without such bases, I can't write characters. Oh dear.

10) Why am I blogging here?

11) ああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああああ
