If you can’t find a story to read, write your own

What indulgence means to me is making up stories for my own pleasure. I love writing fan fiction. In English only. I have a lot of ideas but they all don’t become stories. I used to read other people’s stories but sometimes I didn’t find any interesting enough. So I began writing them myself. If you can’t find a story to read, write your own. I guess the same goes for blogging. I wanted to write things I like. It’s just a bonus someone else likes them too.

Most of my fiction is about people who exist. But I don’t write about them. It’s a made-up story. It’s just the names that are the same. Maybe some fact too but it’s nothing personal. I’ve written fanfiction about movie characters but my main interest is real person fiction. If someone finds them offensive it’s not really my problem. It’s just harmless fun. You should do things that make you happy and writing fanfiction is mine. I haven’t had any complains so far. I only write them for fun and I won’t make a profit of them. Sometimes you just need an escape from the real world.

I also write fiction because they have improved my English. I’m not a book reader so reading other people’s fan fiction is my thing. Writing is something I enjoy so why stop? I have quite a vivid imagination. I’ve noticed I don’t really know how to write nice characters. They always have some kind of anger issue, if you can call it that. Or telling others what to do. But that’s because my muses usually give me thoughts like that. Oops, revealed too much 😀 You know a writer never tells their secrets to others. At least not me. If I don’t write fanfiction, I write poems. Ideas just come naturally to me when it comes to imagination. I wish I could use that skill in other things in life.

I can find inspiration from anywhere or anything. Like yesterday I saw a title on a forum and it gave me ideas for a story. An idea only though. I got so much inspiration so it feels like there is no time to write them all down. I have to think about the real life too, you know. I hardly end the stories I write because I get bored and then I make up new stories. There needs to be a special feeling when I write and when there isn’t I get writer’s block. I guess it’s the same with blogging. If I don’t have the feeling to write something then I don’t write at all. Or then I’m just tired and I don’t want to think. That’s why writing will remain a hobby for me. And what a fun hobby it is.

Upgrading to Personal Plan wasn’t a nightmare

nightmare

I did it. I upgraded this blog to Personal Plan so now the URL to it is tomboyforlife.blog. But you can still use the old one. Upgrading wasn’t a nightmare at all. It was actually quite easy. Everything is in order and nothing has disappeared. Even the old comments are still there. Even if I have an own domain somewhere else, I still decided this blog needed it’s own. Since this is a personal blog, the personal plan was all I needed. And it’s also ad-free, which is nice.

I decided to celebrate it with a new prompt, Rag Tag Daily Prompt. Thank you Reflections of An Untidy Mind for suggesting it. It seems my blog lives on prompts. It’s almost like a nightmare when there’s isn’t many likes in posts. That’s not the reason I started with this prompt though. Since The Daily Post decided to quit, it felt a bit empty without a writing challenge. It’s nice to know people decided to continue where The Daily Post ended. It fills the void and it doesn’t feel so lonely. It’s still early days but I think when people find the RDP, it will bloom. Starting a new blog is always like a nightmare. Thankfully it will get easier once it has launched itself into the blogging world.
