Hey Reeders,Β
I am an alternate account, however this is not used for upvoting, downvoting, following or any of those aspects on Reedsy. The only reason I followed so many of you is so that you can see this message. Iβm taking a different approach. It has been suggested a few times that we have a Reedsy account used for giving advice and support. This is my attempt to create one.Β
Anyone can comment here if they have a problem they would like support or help with, or if they just want to talk it over. You could come here if you have been feeling bad about your writing lately and you would like feedback or suggestions. If you have been struggling to find the motivation to write lately or you havenβt been able to find any ideas. Or, for a slightly different reason, if you have been going through something in your personal life and you would like a friend to work through it with.
Anyone with any opinions and views is welcome, anyone can be included in this if they would like to be. Iβll do my best to help with anything you might be facing. Donβt hesitate to reach out if you need anything.
I guess weβll see how this goes, and if it ends up having any effect. Iβm not sure if this will help, but I sure hope it will.Β
I will not include some uplifting quotes, because I need more words and I love quotes:
βΏ βYou are more than who you were. You can start over anytime. Like today.β -Unknown
βΏ βIf you stumble, make it a part of the dance.β -Unknown
βΏ βIf you feel like youβre loosing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.β -Unknown
Okay, I hope this helps guys. If you have a problem, Iβll try to help in any way I can.

Hi, I saw that you followed me, and I was wondering if you would like to check out my YouTube channel? I narrate supernatural stories each week from other authors. I'd love to have you as a subscriber. The link is below. β€ https://youtube.com/c/AfterDarkFairyTales

This is so sweet and caring. I just wanted to let you know I wrote a story called "Ouroboros". I think the dialogue is a little stiff, and I am unsure if the ending is predictable. Do you think you could give it a read when you have the time?
Reply

Yes, of course. No rush. I love feedback of all kinds

I have been unmotivated to write for the last couple of weeks. I posted today for the first time in a while, but feel it can be improved. Can you a) read and then criticize my latest story, and B) give advice for writer's block? Thank you. This account is great btw!

I'll definitely read your newest story as soon as I get the chance, I added you to the list in my bio. There's a link at the bottom of this message for writer's block tips, maybe check that out? Thanks! <3

Hey Ad ( gonna call you that) I was wondering how you would go about making a normally boring setting seem interesting and captivating.
Reply
Hm, one time I heard this piece of advice a short story writer gave in an online class. She said she makes a list of unique/ strange objects (for example, furniture, decorations, clothing). Like a vase with a unique shape, or a painting of an interesting scene, then tries to incorporate them in her stories. And when she does she crosses them off the list. Could that work? <3

Ooh, that does sound great!! Thanks a ton!! I think I know who you are lol

No problem! Who do you think I am?

This is a nice thing and I love what you're doing, I guess I might need a little bit of help or advice with something
Reply
Thank you! What is it you need help with? <3
Reply
No prob and It's just kinda that I don't feel like any of my stories are that great. I feel like a lot of them are bad and I just dunno why anyone likes em.
Reply
Is there a particular reason you don't like your stories? Could it possibly be that telling yourself your stories are bad is a way of putting yourself down, since so many other people love reading them? <3
Reply
I just feel like I've never been good at writing, well I don't really think I'm good at a lot of things, but right now it's the writing thing. My first story was just plain terrible though, and I'm surprised anybody even liked that one. Whenever anybody tells me that one of my stories is great and all that, I just don't understand how it is. My other stories are of course a bit better than my first one, but I still feel like they're bad. I've sometimes considered about deleting some of them.
Reply
Well, if you don't like your story that makes sense. You've improved so much since then. Maybe if you could identify small details you don't like about your writing and you could change your style a little. Don't delete your stories, though, so many people out here take enjoyment in reading them.

Also, I'd like to take a small guess on who you are if that's alright, are you maybe Laiba?

I'm not her. :)

Wow this is an amazing cause, thank you for making this account. That's amazing.

No problem! Thank you for writing your beautiful stories on here. On my other account, I read your stories frequently and I love them! <3
Reply
Really, thank you so much! I understand if you prefer to remain anonymous, but what is your other account?
Reply
I'll send you a random message from my other account, just don't tell anyone. :)

Ok please me too??? You might be a good friend...
