I was a near-daily through my mid 20s, but I slowly let those skills atrophy.

I'd like to start for fun again and/or to something worthy of the account I haven't been using.

How do other get over that makes it difficult to make a ?

please

@RamenCatholic I hadn’t written in a long time but a few months back got into it just by simply starting a serialised story on my blog. Just needing to have another post ready to go the next day kept me going for a good two weeks … and then I slipped and haven’t written again for a while 😛

Hoping to try that again here by doing a story post once a week and see how it goes. Wrote the first instalment yesterday actually but haven’t published it yet. Possibly sometime this week and then I’ll see how it goes …

@f that's awesome! Someday I'll be brave like you and post my work.

@RamenCatholic Not sure it’s really brave, I mean on my part 😛 Just that I sometimes feel the need to write and the only way to sustain writing, at least for me, is to have even the tiniest hope that somebody reads it. So I just put it out there and keep writing. Otherwise, I’d just be writing for myself and then there’s no need to write since it’s all in my head 😃

@f I think that's the same reason I wandered over to Mastodon - and yet I'm somehow still amazed that a couple hundred people are interested in my random thoughts and stolen memes.

@RamenCatholic We all think our thoughts are boring and everybody else has really interesting thoughts 😛 But I think what we (or at least some of us) really like is being able to share and to listen and perhaps have a conversation?

I think those are the people who thrive here because on Twitter it was all just noise. At least, in my experience …
