Yes, countless. I think the skill needed to create some of the stories I desire just isn’t here yet. I want to write a Secret History with less than half the talent of Tartt.

I really wish I knew other writers. I just want to connect and know other people who have made it their whole life to write. I desire knowing that people share in my overwhelming feeling of longing.

making an intimate scene can be so frustrating, “they kissed” sounds too daft but “the sheer interlocking of their lips felt like the collision of stars” is literally so much worse

I want to do a Wattpad Friends Starter Pack for readers and authors.
Can anyone from Wattpad (circa 2012-2024) please follow and start engagement? What books do/have you read? Do you still use the site? Thoughts about the changes? Let’s create a space here on Bluesky!

I think I should wait until I get more traction, but I want to do a question of the day thing. I think it’ll be a fun way to get to know each other, increase engagement, and find like-minded people.

To all the writers out there:
What do you think about ChatGPT?
I’ve been using it to flesh out a story, mostly for fun, and some of the feedback, editorial corrections and approaches it has are actually so pleasing. If not a little scary.
Thoughts?
