RE: The Silent Struggle of Being a Writer
Those who write primarily for themselves believe in themselves. The writer who writes only for others, to be seen and read, will always suffer from fear (especially if there's never a response or negative criticism), the fear of not being read, not being appreciated, misunderstood, and not earning a cent. The writer writes because they have something to share, and every writer does this in their own way. I wish you much success and, above all, enjoyment.
P.s. you used the hashtag #fiction because you made up what you just wrote?
❤️
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I agree that writing should first come from a genuine place. I do write because I have something to express, and I enjoy storytelling deeply. At the same time, I also believe it’s okay for writers to hope to be read, understood, and even earn from their work. Wanting growth or recognition doesn’t mean we don’t believe in ourselves. It just means we value connection. As for the #fiction hashtag, I used it because I’m primarily a fiction writer and that’s the category I usually work in. This particular post was reflective, but my focus on the platform remains fiction. I appreciate the encouragement and the discussion.

It's better to use hashtags which refer to you post. This way people can find the right posts they like to read. You are welcome at CCC @hive-166850 and if there's more art in what you write there's also Art & Artists @hive-120695.
Unfortunately, I lack the time to invest in my community Tales & Stories, but I look forward to reading your stories.
If it comes to be read, I am sure every writer will have it's own readers.
I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you for the advice and the warm welcome. I truly appreciate it. You’re right about hashtags, and I’ll be more mindful to match them closely to each post so readers can find the right content more easily. I’m grateful for the invitation to CCC and Art & Artists. I’ll definitely explore both communities and see where my work fits best. I’m looking forward to sharing my stories and connecting with more readers. Thank you again for the encouragement and your kind wishes.
