i get that writeblr is looking for ways to innovate, to showcase a more broader sense in writing and to levitate from just writing/talking about wips. poetry is a huge component when it comes to creativity but in a way itâs becoming stagnant to me?Â
just to get things out of the way, iâve been in this community since 2018, so iâm pretty old school but anyways, i need to talk about whatâs going on lately.
iâm not really sure how to put it but, chapbooks is one thing! currently iâve been keen on observing trends as they come and go in the writeblr community but one thing that really bothers me (iâm not saying itâs a bad trend or you should stop doing it), what iâm trying to say i am tired of seeing it become hip and trendy lately, instantly making one popular and talented because of it.
on the flip side, it really hurts people who are actively trying to get their wips or brand out there because they didnât make a chapbook. to be fair, it isnât really damaging but itâs a slippery slope from what iâm seeing.Â
to end this on a positive note, i really wish i could see more originality, donât push yourself to follow a certain trend. that being said, this goes along with me seeing dark academia wips then later (east) asian wips as a trend before chapbooks make its mark.Â
If anyone has ANYTHING writing related that theyâd like for me to reblog, again, please please donât hesitate to let me know! Iâm not gonna catch everything yâall post <3 sending love!!!
