I'm mainly here because I wanted to push myself further by doing something that I was always scared of doing: writing.
For me it's a bit weird to publish blogs and have them viewed by people who might be critical. It's fun though and I'm sure that my writing will keep improving as I post more.
Thats a great attitude to have coming into the place. Having a goal is really good to keep yourself buzy on here and post regularly. I know its not easy to share certain things but you can only hope to improve from the people who read and comment on your work.
It might not always be nice but its how we learn and grow.
Yeah, even negative comments can still be motivating to improve your work. I also forgot to add that it's very good practice to improve my English skills.
Probably even more so if the commenter is good. Its just important to make sure that critiques help the person to improve and not just tear down their hard work which can be a fine line to tread sometimes.
If you are on discord there is a channel called "the writers block". There are some brilliant users on their who help and encourage other writers along the way. I found it a great place to chat about writing and projects.
