MUNDAY MEME SO LATE ITS THE NEXT MUNDAY.
🧪 Have you ever experimented with a completely different writing style or format?
Yes! Very briefly, I was interacting with someone who preferred to write all of their responses in the first person. It wasn't a requirement that I write in the first person myself, and I've always only ever written in third person, and never really thought much about other styles until I started interacting with that person, but I decided to give the first person perspective a try, and I ended up really liking it. Thanks to me saving/archiving old writing all the time, I happen to be able to pull up that exact thread, tee hee.
I don't know if I would ever write in first person again without provocation, but yeah. I really enjoyed this. I'm certainly not the best first person writer in the world, but I really liked it. No surprise, this was one of my fav threads at the time lol.
As for format. Yes also! My format has changed a lot, but honestly, it's mostly just gotten lazier, especially over the last 6 years. I used to do different fonts, & symbols, colours, double spacing, the whole shebang, but now my shit is basic asf cause I just keep getting older, lazier and blinder. Heres some snippets from old threads as a rough progression of my format style in the last 5 years:
2021
And now we're here. No different font, no spacing, no coloured text, no & symbols, just good old bolds and italics. Makes my longer posts soooo much easier because Tumblr hates formatting on long posts and lately has been just eating all the paragraph formatting completely for me. Which triggers my OCD crazy style, but whatever, hellsite!
