Advice & Support

Creative Nonfiction

Written in response to: "Write about someone who grew up in a bunker, and lockdown life is all they’ve ever known." as part of A Year In.

Hey Reeders, 


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. I’m 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. 


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 haven’t 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. I’ll do my best to help with anything you might be facing. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything.


I guess we’ll see how this goes, and if it ends up having any effect. I’m not sure if this will help, but I sure hope it will. 


I will not include some uplifting quotes, because I need more words and I love quotes:


✿ β€œYou are more than who you were. You can start over anytime. Like today.” -Unknown


✿ β€œIf you stumble, make it a part of the dance.” -Unknown


✿ β€œIf you feel like you’re loosing everything, remember that trees lose their leaves every year and they still stand tall and wait for better days to come.” -Unknown


Okay, I hope this helps guys. If you have a problem, I’ll try to help in any way I can.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hello! I have a new story but people have been super quiet. Luke said I should change the names but I kind of liked them so I was waiting for a second opinion. Could you maybe read the story and help me make it better? It’s called The Selkie and the Druid :D I understand if you’re busy, I think what you’re doing is really admirable and I get it if you’re busy helping people

Of course, I added you to the list. <3
Thank you!

Could I guess who you are, if it's not a problem? ;)
(I'll delete my guess comment later if I'm right in case you don't want everyone to know)
Best of luck!!
