Mibbian of the Week: mockingjay.
Mockingjay. is a sweet, upbeat member who loves the stories section. In this week's Mibbian of the Week, we take a closer look at Carissa.
When did you join Mibba and how did you find the site?
About four or five years ago. I used to read things on Quizilla but wasn't able to find anything I wanted to read anymore. Another user said they were leaving the site and starting an account on Mibba. I decided to go check it out, and liked this site better.
What area of Mibba are you most active on?
Stories. Specifically original fiction.
What's your favorite thing about writing?
Coming up with new characters and settings and then watching where the story goes.
What's your least favorite thing?
Writer's block. I deal with that a lot.
What advice would you give to someone who is just beginning to write?
Don't over think it. Half the time when you plan out every detail the story goes in a whole other direction anyway. Just go with what strikes you in the moment; your characters will tell you where to go from there.
What's your favorite thing about Mibba?
All the varied things you can write about! It's not exclusively one thing; you can do poems, blogs, stories, articles, etc. Technically this counts as two things, but I also really like Mibba's rules about spelling and grammar, and rating your work appropriately. I feel like this site is really trying to help people improve their writing.
What's your least favorite thing?
I feel like there are too many negative threads/blogs lately. People should talk more about what they love in stories and the world in general. Love makes the world go 'round after all. :)
If you had to describe Mibba to someone who had never been on the site, what would you say?
It's a creative writing website where you can post poems and stories and get feedback from people. It's a good place to get some of your ideas out there or to read other people's stories.
