Proofreading Is Me Pretending I Know What I'm Doing

Well let's face it, some things are like riding a bike again and some things are not. Writing is a not as of today. I feel like I'm proofreading the same and only chapter I've written just to pretend that I know what I'm doing, haha. It's ridiculous how out of form my writing is, holy crap.

I mean I have no clue where I want the current story to go, how ever I've planned maybe 3 chapters loosely- what I know needs to happen when and where. My planning will progress once I've finished two more chapters just so I can have time to not only proofread five-hundred times per chapter, but to get to know the characters enough to know where I want them to progress.

Somehow it seems easier to write when I'm not thinking about it too much as I am doing it, which is a change of pace. It feels nice! I write a lot more without even realizing it!

By the way, what the hell is up with Mibba? I mean this is not a complaint, it is more so confusion. The site was quite messy when I left but now I can't even see recent blog posts, only posts from 12 years ago(!!!). Has this site been completely abandoned by Dujo? :(

I really, really hate seeing Mibba like this. It has been my safe haven for many years and was my escape from life but it's falling apart in front of us. It's killing me to see what a turn this site has taken.

Shit, it's making me sad.

I fled from Wattpad to Mibba because I preferred Mibba, now Wattpad has started premium accounts?? Yes I understand writers want to get paid for their work but I kind of liked that I could read amazing stories from wonderful writers, because I learned so much from fan fictions. Books I paid to read I find rarely taught me how to write well. It's a weird complaint but I kind of liked getting paid in comments- like creative feedback even if one of my dreams is to publish a book in the future.

All in all it is amazing, I am just more sad about people leaving Mibba for Wattpad.
