Writing Spaces has been verified!
Now, on to business: are there any of you who would be interested in coming up with a nice design for the blog? I’d really like it to look nice, but I’m pretty artistically challenged. I know some of you are good with photography and graphic design, so if you’re interested, let me know! I’d obviously give you credit where it’s due and link back to your own blog when it’s finished.
If you’re interested, please shoot me an email at ourwritingspaces@gmail.com. The ask box can be kind of iffy at times.
Any other ideas for how the blog should look or function are also welcome! I’d like this to turn into a nice collaborative effort that the writers on Tumblr could appreciate and be inspired by.
After everything is set up, I’ll come up with a template for submissions so it can have the potential to become a regular thing. But in order for it to become a regular thing, I’m going to need some of you people to reblog it and promote it and foist it on the editors as much as you can until it’s featured. If it gets enough attention, obviously there will be more readers, and hence, more regular submissions.
Let’s do it.
I get a lot of people saying something like this: ”What do you think of my writing? Please be honest. It’s awful, isn’t it? You think it’s awful.” And I just…keep quiet. Or I try to be elusive as possible.
I keep quiet and I’m elusive as possible because I’m honest and a critic with ridiculous expectations. I am literally the worst. I cut up everything into pieces and think nothing of it. I was notorious for this in my creative writing classes…I’m sure I hurt a few people’s feelings. But I also had people come up to me and thank me personally because how I read their story helped them to improve it later on.
It’s funny how people automatically assume I think their writing is awful though. I just really like tearing things apart - it’s just who I am. I’m more of a breaker-downer than a builder-upper.
But I also know that people have feelings and that some of these people I’d consider friends. So I’m torn about what I should say when anyone asks. I keep quiet when I really shouldn’t.
Also, there are times when I just don’t know what to say at all because the writing is so anorexic. There’s just not enough to talk about except the fact that it lacks meat on its bones.
