Well, first of all this is not actually a story, it is rather, just something I would like to share. You may actually call it the story of how this blog started. Ever since I was a little kid I had a hyperactive imagination. My mind was constantly buzzing with crazy ideas about random stuff. Be it cartoon shows, movies, books, the list is endless. So inevitably I invented a character, a person called V. A. Creed.( That’s where my username comes from) The first and second name kept changing, much like my character himself. When I watched a action thriller he became a martial artist, when I read Harry Potter he became a magician, when I read Sherlock Holmes he became a ace detective with a razor sharp mind, you get the gist. Eventually I planned out a large scale revenge story with Creed as the protagonist, but that never came to fruition.
Obviously my imagination needed fodder, so I started reading…a lot. As a consequence, my desire to actually write something grew exponentially. My stories were no longer a figment of my imagination they became a aim, or rather a pursuit, because I never really got around to penning down any. Around this time I started reading short stories collections of O Henry. The sudden plot twists left an impact on me. That became a reason why I always try to inculcate some sort of plot twist at the end. It’s something of a reward for the reader who sticks with the story till the end. It was then I realized that I could actually write short stories, rather than pursuing long plotlines, which demanded a lot of time and effort which I was never ready to put.
For the past few years I saw a lot of people around me trying out blogging as a way to express their opinions. It was then I had this idea of putting up my short stories on a blog, I didn’t actually start doing it until a month ago. I started with stuff that was already ready, both my current stories were written earlier as a part of something else. And I still have many rough drafts buried somewhere in my mind. I intend to follow through on each one. So yeah, that is basically why I started this blog. I just wanted to stop wasting good ideas.
So did you guys have a similar reason for stating your blog? Let me know in the comments, any and all feedback is appreciated.
My reason for starting my blog is like yours! I wanted to share my short stories with other people. My imagination is just too vivid and wild that it had nowhere to go. So I decided to put them into words. Good post. 🙂
Thanks a lot. For me it was difficult starting a blog as learning engineering leaves me with little time, I squeeze out time and endeavor to be a better writer someday.
Nice to know there is someone similar out there. 🙂
I know what you mean. I’ve been doing this for over two years and I’m still learning.
Hey! Totally the same reason for starting my blog.I felt engineering was taking out the creativity or exhausting my imagination, Having a blog felt a good platform.Loved your stories!
Thanks!!
I sincerely appreciate the fact that you took the time to tell me you liked my stories! Do stick around, a lot more of this is coming up, at least I hope it is. 😁
I really hope it is😂
