Can someone read my creepypastas?
So, I've just recently written two creepypastas. I dunno why, but I was really compelled to write this week and somehow managed to get two done in one week, which was cool.
I sorta want some feedback and opinions. The problem is that I'd really like to publicize my works, but I'm worried about what people would think of them. As they stand now, I enjoy them and I think they're good. They're no Russian Sleep Experiment, but they're alright. I like them having been the only person who's read them. However, part of my worry is that if I let other people read them and they don't like them, I won't like them anymore, either. Another part of that is that if I get a lot of negative feedback, in particular harsh criticism, that I'll be demotivated to write anymore. I really like writing and entering the territory of creepypastas has been interesting. However, though I enjoy writing, these are among the first stories I've completed. I've written a lot of things, but often, they just kinda fall by the wayside midway through the project.
That's why I'm posting a blog entry. I want to find some people who I can show my stories to on an individual basis who'll be honest but not brutal or hurtful. Why is this such a big deal? Because the last time I asked for a critique was on my drawing style. Some people were genuinely helpful, but for the most part, I got burned hard. People telling me that they couldn't believe I had been drawing so long and was so bad at it, that I suck, that I should quit. It almost ruined drawing for me. Even now, I'm not fully over that ordeal. So I'm a bit sensitive to what people think of my works.
Again, because of this, I'd like some feedback from someone who's aware of this issue I have and will be sensitive to it. I can't handle all the "This sucks," and "Who told you you could write?"
Anyway, if someone out there is willing to take a look at my stories and will give them a fair shake, I'd really appreciate it. These are my first attempts and I'd really like to keep writing more. Your help might help me to do that.
Thank you
