Hey, thanks for your lovely comment. I really wish to be in your position one day. How long have you been writing for?

[-] UniversalMonk@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I've been writing for about 15 years. Only got really serious about it about 3 years ago. And now I'm retired, I take it way more seriously and am working on honing my craft. I've published stories here to Lemmy too.

I consider myself the world's 'okayest' writer, haha. But it's been working for me! Actually, the criticism I receive on Lemmy, especially the over-the-top petty and hateful comments, has been quite beneficial; it's great for brainstorming when I need someone incompetent or blindly loyal in my stories. These critiques inspire many of the characters in my narratives.

If you want, here are some fo the stories I've written on my Lemmy journey: https://lemm.ee/c/talesfromthedark
