Your humble beginnings in story writting

[EmsDeLaRoZ]

How did you begin your writting career? like, what did you use to do when you were starting to write your own stories, canons, characters or whatevah?

In my case, I began in wattpad, and I made 3 different stories (speaking of serious works). One was about a guy and his robot friend traveling through time, another one was about a orphan girl and her older sister planing to destroying humanity, and the last one was about a girl who died and somehow revived, but lost her soul and her innards so she was kind of a conscious zombie. Basically, the kind of stories I would write nowadays, but with lots more of nonsensing edginess and less original plots.

Also, I didn't know all the things about grammar and wording I know now, so most of the paragraphs made in these stories are painful to read

...pornography. Obviously not going into detail but hey people say it can be hard to write your first piece, but as a highschooler that's what motivated me to get my first story done. And it's what snowballed to where I am today. Not great but I'm in a place now where I'm producing on/offline consistency and in a way that I'm proud of because I got over that hump.

Straight, clear and without shame, I like it. I can already tell you're the best in what you do

So, yeah, i started on fanfics too!

And man it was a ugly one. Too ugly that i don't even wanna talk about it, then there was another one (Unfinished one but yeah), but here i got help from my sister, and she knows better the writting thing!

And time passed, i've tried to go back writting a fic again but, i lost interest, plus, reading it nowadays... Yeahhhh, no. The worst part i have not only got busy thinking a good script for my original project, but also with other ideas! It's never been easy.

So yeah, more time passes and i realize i'm not the sharpest in writting terms without somebody helping me. Heck, i even say i suck ass writting at all.

I still consider myself quite an amateur when it comes to writing stories. I started writing stories as early as over 10 years ago, but over that time, when you put everything I’ve ever written all together, it probably wouldn’t be as much as you’d expect. I’m a bit more inexperienced even if I do still love writing.

But anyways, I started with making YouTube videos! I made videos with my toys and wrote skits, short films, and even entire series with overarching plots, lol. Surprisingly, the types of videos I made did have an audience and a community, and I actually got the idea to make videos of my toys… from other YouTubers that made similar videos with their toys. I was around 8 or 9 years old when I started doing this I think?

Later, when I first got into original characters, I learned how to write better characters (which trust me, those old videos desperately needed, LOL) thanks to writing bios for my OCs… not as part of a story or anything, but just for fun! Eventually, I started connecting them to each other and building relationships between them, which was then eventually followed by a whole world for them.

Those things are how I mostly got into writing! Honestly, I’d really like to write more, especially more stories… but I get so intimidated by new projects and it usually scares me away and I hate that. It’s a constant battle against my fears and insecurities to get me to write something nowadays, lol.
