hello ! jus wanted to ask how you started your writing acc on x? how did you attract readers/followers? was it through other platforms or was your account initially a stan acc and just started putting out works eventually? hehe im curious cos i /kinda/ wanna start writing as well (but idunno how to start)
hello! this answer might be a bit long and i think some infos probably arenāt necessary na pero i just tend to ramble a bit kaya sorry na agad huhu ><
iāve actually had several writing accs before na dedicated to diff fandoms (exo, svtvelvet, gotvelvet, nct) kaso i eventually stopped kasi narealize kong hindi ko pala kaya i-manage yung multiple accs ALL AT ONCE. and tbh, i lost the spark for writing na rin that time. then come 2023, i decided to return to writing again. and this current account actually started as a dump acc i created 4 years ago then winipe out ko lahat ng tweets tas i made it as my svt writing acc kasi i thought it might be worth giving it another shot hehehe ^^
as for gaining readers/followers, iām not entirely sure myself tbh! iām not super interactive here, wala akong irl friends, wala rin ako gaanong writer friends, wala rin akong beta reader. ako lang lahat. ako ang backbone ng acc na āto emz. soooo i was really surprised when my follower count started to grow lang last year like AS IN LAST YEAR LANG TALAGA. basta, i just posted, kept posting, dropping aus and ideas here and there whenever i felt like it (as what my bio says: updates depende sa mood) the engagement isnāt always consistent rin, it really depends talaga sa algorithm.
another thing is i started a tiktok account back in july 2023 and my joshua kapitbahay au blew up there. pero funny enough, even though i gained a lot of traction, most of the readers from that app didnāt actually follow me here sa twt. di ko rin alam if naka-help ba in general yung exposure ko roon.
if youāre thinking of starting a writing account, ang masasabi ko lang ay just go for it! donāt overthink the process. you donāt have to wait until you have the perfect idea or enough confidence to write what you want. basta start with what you have lang tapos let yourself grow along the way kasi kung di mo gagawin, kailan pa? even if only a few people read your work at first, kahit 10 likes pa yan, thatās already something. and most importantly, write for yourself.
ayun lang, anon mari! sorry at natagalan dahil in-overthink ko pa āyong mga sagot ko rito. legit thinking if may nalagpasan ba ko or malayo sagot ko pero keri na siguro āyan? also, please let me know kung maisipan mo na mag-start, dm mo lang me ha? ako dapat ang first supporter mo! hehez š
