Need Every Writer To Know Theyre Appreciated - Tumblr Posts
This has always been a problem for me(especially when I wrote primarily for Bangtan). I stopped feeling excited about my sfw content bc of how little engagement it got. I’d spend time and get excited only to get 11 notes but then I post a short nsfw thing and it goes 10x that in half the time. I think it contributed to the short form nsfw content that populates my new blog. Not to hate on myself or others bc I love reading and writing it but the excitement I feel for sfw is not the same and it makes me sad. Sometimes I just want to tell a story :(
It’s also hard bc tumblr likes to switch how posts are seen, shadowbans, and sometimes reblogging isn’t in the forefront of someone’s mind. It’s really sad.
I say all that to say though please don’t change your writing based on that. People who love it will still be here. Do what you feel is comfortable but remember people who love it and want to read will be here.
PLEASE SEND ASKS, LEAVE LIKES AND REBLOG!!
i kinda wanna be honest and say that i feel like sfw caratblr has been like… been getting less and less engagement. i’m not the only person thay feels this way and truly i mean no hate toward smut writers (i literally have a sideblog for that kind of content now tht i do post on lmao i would be hating on myself) but idk it just feels like ppl are jumping ship for tht content completely and dropping sfw writers entirely
just… feels really shitty to see less and less people engaging? it makes me think that i’m the one getting worse. and honestly, maybe i am? maybe it’s my writing that’s attracting less and less people.
i just wish the answers were clearer. i love writing and a lot of my drive comes from that love, but the lack of support does destroy my motivation to post writing more and more. i appreciate the people who regular try to engage with me now, but like…
what am i supposed to do when the numbers keep dwindling? change my writing up? i don’t know what’s bad if people don’t tell me what they are and aren’t enjoying. just stop posting entirely? maybe! who knows! i just don’t know what i’m doing wrong and it’s starting to get to me more and more. i make some people happy, but what about the people that stopped reading entirely? it eats me up inside even though i know i can’t please everyone.
maybe my writing is getting worse after all and i’m just looking for someone else to blame.
