User blog comment:The Wittiest Degenerate/Giving up on creepypasta (for now)/@comment-25980873-20160119074510

It takes work, man. I remember the first two stories I ever posted to this site. Both were deleted in a matter of minutes, and they were disastrous anyway. I found out that I wasn't as good a writer as I thought. I myself stayed off the site for awhile, as I was very discouraged. However, after casting about for a topic to write about, I sat down and wrote a story and posted it to the Workshop for feedback. And, after fixing some of the mistakes, it got successfully published to the site. The key is to just relax and work hard at it, and not beat yourself up. I hope you stay at it. If you time to hone your skills, go for it. Hopefully you'll come back to the site, and when you do, I'm sure you will have great things to bring to the table.
