2016 was a mix of high and lows, and I kind of just winged it with blogging. This year is going to be different! Said everyone at the start of the year before completely failing. Okay, maybe, but I’m trying to not to set myself up for failure here.
During the last months of 2016 I was in a particular bad place about blogging, I was just totally unmotivated. And… I went kind of crazy. 2017 is the result of that craziness.
A Writer’s Tales is now Reverie Society
Yay! You have no idea how much I obsessed over the perfect new name. I knew I had to change it. I never doubted that. I was just too afraid of what came next. I’m so so happy with the result of all that brainstorming and planning. Reverie Society perfectly sums up what this is all about.
Because I want this to be about more than just me. I wanted to turn this site into something that will genuinely help people. Share stuff that I’ve learned. Which leads us to…
Posts about introversion and life
Yes, I dabbled a little into this last year, but I want to go full out and write a lot about this topic. I’m in a place where I’m truly proud of all I am. But it was damn hard to get here. I learned a lot of things the hard way; a really, really hard way. And for the longest time, I kept that to myself. But during that time, I’ve seen so many people go through the same things, or very similar, and I’ve thought ‘If only they knew this thing, and that it’ll be okay’. Sometimes, that’s enough for someone to pick themselves up and keep going.
So, my goal with these kind of posts is to basically tell you guys the things I wish I’d known during my high school years, when the shit hit the fan for me. It’s going to be both for me and for you. For some reason, every time I talk about this with someone, I come across as if I’ve completely gotten over it and ‘the situation’, as if it was some sort of rite of passage. Being hardcore bullied and having ‘friends’ betray you aren’t rites of passage. It did shape me into the person I am today, but it hurt like hell, and I don’t want anyone to go through that. However, I can’t do anything about that, but what I can do, is try to help people to get through it and be a friend.
Posts about writing
It’s funny, though that when this site was called A Writer’s Tales, I didn’t post as much about writing as I should have considering the name. And now that it’s different, I actually feel much more motivated to do it XD
Anyway, since I started writing in 2009, I’ve learned so much. Can you believe I once sent an UNEDITED FIRST DRAFT to a contest? HAHAHA. Such a good laugh that one.
Discussion Challenge
This year, as with the last two years, I’ll be participating in this amazing discussion challenge. It’s become a habit, basically, and I think that’s actually the point. I love hopping to the link-up page and immediately have a list of amazing posts and blogs to check out!
This is a challenge is hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight. Give it a try!
Freebies
And here’s the fun part! I’ll be creating a LOT of free content for you guys. Things I use myself, new things that might be useful for you… All the things!
So stay tuned!
And that’s it! Here’s to a better year!
I’m loving the new blog name and the new site! It looks awesome! 🙂
And I’m really looking forward to all your new posts! I think it’s great that you’re going to use your experiences to try and help people who might be going through the same things. I am an introvert and I definitely went through a lot of stuff during high school, so I know it would have really helped me back then to have some one tell me (even over the internet!) that everything was going to be OK, and that you can get through it.
Have a wonderful 2017! 🙂
Thank you! Have an awesome 2017 too!
