Tips to write for a beginner?
i am, obviously, no expert on this but you can start by simply putting down your thoughts on paper as they come. you do not have to start with vivid imagery or metaphors or complex sentences right away ; simply write down what you feel and think. Try to write everyday, even if it is something small or just a few lines. Keep a journal and make entries whenever you have the heart to do so ! what matters is that what you have to say holds the most weight, think of it as a medium to put forth your views / ideas / emotions. You don't have to be perfect. If you do write something, I am right here, eager to read it !!
i was feeling really down today but reading some of your writings somehow put my heart in ease. just thought i should let you know :) thank you for everything
Why the ones always with good intensions face hardships ?
this is a question i often find asking to myself as well but if we sit and dwell on it much too long it would do more harm than good, at least this is what I tell myself. I try not to let myself be changed by the mishappenings and continue to hold the same love as I do always. Kindness and love will always come back to you and maybe you and i are having to wait for longer than we'd like but i want to tell you that your good intentions even in the face of hardships say more about you than the things that youre having to unjustly face <3 take care 🫂
This isn’t a question, but I feel like you’re one of the people the ocean, sky, and wind genuinely love.
hi :) which are your favorite books? ps: i love the way you write, i feel so cozy everytime i read your writings ♡ have a lovely day!
my recent favorites are Shoko's Smile by Choi Eunyoung, Miss Kim Knows by Cho Namjoo, Intimacies by Katie Kitamura and All The Lovers In The Night ! I also love Mary Oliver's poetry collections dearly and try to read one or two poems by her everyday 💌 and thank you so much , i hope you're having a lovely day too 🌷
hiii this may be a dumb question, but what app do you use to write? (like when you post a photo of your writing with the black text and white background lol) i thought maybe it’s google docs, but i’m not sure.
i love you. thank you for being here
I desperately want to write like you :) Did you always write like this or did you gt better through the years? <3
you are doing great already ! but to answer your question, of course I didn't write well. I don't know if they're any better now but as I grow up my willingness to express myself better to my own self has improved too and i believe it is proportional to my writings too. I do this as a little hobby and to put my love somewhere but reading, for example, what I wrote for the guy I liked at 17 makes me so embarrassed lol. Keep writing all you want about whatever you want and do it regardless of what others say 🫶🏼
HI AZ I WANT TO SHOW YOU PICS OF THE SUNSETS I TOOK TODAY CAN I HRHFHFJFJFJJDDJ
🪼
hey hi. this is not the usual messages you get and tbh I don't even know why im writing this to you I am sorry for writing this here but I really have no one i can tell this to. I am terrified, sad and tired. i don't know what to do anymore. I just sit in one corner and cry because that's all I can do. my dad is abusive and I wanted to escape but I can't anymore. I thought id study and reach a place where I can support myself financially and take my mother with me but it's not like that anymore. My dad made me pick a career choice which I don't like at all not even a bit and ive tried to improve myself and find peace with it but no im not able to and here I am, about to graduate but I don't know anything. This subject will not help me in any way I can't see myself shining and it's too much detail to make you understand why but please no this isn't the right option and ive done a lot to change how things are but there's no hope. i will fail and my dad will make it more harder for me to survive and when I say harder, it's no understatement. I have attempted suicide far too many times but always failed thinking of my mother I can't leave her with the monster my dad is and I can't leave feeling so guilty thinking how she will have to survive it breaks me both physically and mentally. I am coward and no positive words can heal me anymore. I don't care about anything else now I just want to run away with my mom or somehow just die. I also saw a future but no more not like this. And it may sound frustrating what am I thinking? This is not life's end but whatever has happened trust me there is a reason why im thinking to end it all or else why would I even think of unaliving myself when long back I grew from that kind of mindset and I wanted to see a future and live but honestly it's not possible im useless I really have nothing I can be proud of i don't even have the courage to kms im such an oversensitive idiot I'm sorry to all of this to you but I want to go away. Sorry to dump it here.
my love i might be a stranger but i assure you i value your existence more than your dad does. I know you feel like you have nobody you can lean on but please please please know I am here for you. You said you have nothing to be proud of but I am so proud of, i really am so proud of you that you are still standing and fighting against it all. I know nothing I say might make a difference but would you really let your asshole of a father win like that ? Would you really let him have what he wants if you decide to not exist? As somebody who's not in your shoes I cannot even fathom the depths you're in but you are about to graduate right ? You made it through all those years please please please survive please do it again please survive, please live for me. Please live for your mother. She needs you she needs you to exist more than anything and you are so brave for still standing against everything and trust me you're not what your father wants you to believe. I am so sorry this is what you are having to face all on your own and i wish i had better ways to help you but I am right here If you need anything at all. I am so proud of you and I love you as does your mother. I FUCKING hate your dad too he's going to pay for his deeds sooner or later but please try to calm down a little because i believe in you. I know you'll have a future that's not defined by your dad. My heart breaks to see this I'm so sorry my love . Please do not apologize if this helps you in any way say everything that's on your mind but don't let your dad have the last say in this
i just read your latest writing and i GASPEDDD when i read the line 'when you change, i will change with you as to love you in all the ways i didn't know how to love before'....that's so beautiful...the willingness to learn how to love someone all over again like it's the first time......im crying at work T_______________T
do you have any writing tips :(
hiii ! i feel like I'm in no position to answer this ; I only write when I am feeling too much and need an outlet. You don't have to dive in headfirst all at once right at the beginning ! you can take little but deliberate steps. Write letters to your friends, loved ones, anybody. Be as honest as you can. You don't have to use fancy words or make complex sentences. Sometimes being true to your feelings is enough and in the meantime you can slowly build up your vocabulary too — leaning a few new words whenever you can ! you don't have to treat this as something you need to master , let it guide you instead and see where your heart lands you ! all the very best 🤍 i don't know whether what I told you here would prove to be beneficial for you but these are something you can definitely try out don't you think? i am sure you already write very beautifully 🍀💗
can I ask for somethung if I'm not bothering? ill just ask away but if you don't want to reply to it, it's fine.
can you recommend some poems or writings that our soft and about love? like the recent tweet you shared saying "these Sunghoon coded poems" something of that sort of recommend me such writers who romanticise and write about love?
sorry if it's too much too ask :(
