My Opuss Journey

When I first joined Opuss I thought I had to write for other people.

At the time the first story I wrote was @puffy1980's prequel almost to 'Stan'. I kinda took that as being an almost theme to Opuss and so I began 'Diary of the Mentally Undead'.

Admittedly, in hindsight, I couldn't keep up. I love writing in first person... But not that genre. I read that genre and enjoy it because I'm almost in awe of people that are able to write in that style. Whilst I love 'diary of the mentally undead' I didn't know where I was going with it and didn't know where my characters had come from or where they're going. (wow a mismatch of tense there lol!!)

I soon realised the wealth of different people and minds here. I love reading different perspectives and imaginations!

I then realised I felt comfortable enough to post my own inner thoughts that reflect the real me. I'm more fairies and witches than murderers and rapists.

So finally I've started posting.
Most of the poems I write are off the top of my head... Within seconds. I think if I stopped to
Think about them they'd be rubbish!!

Write about what you know or like or love, or what you enjoy. How you feel, now or ages ago, as long as its you. Nice write hun x

To be honest I never had a clue where Stan was going from one moment to the next. You should keep diary going, I liked it! 😉

Almost all of my poems are off the top of my head and my thought process as I think of stuff in real time! Sometimes I wrote from different perspectives and try and feel and understand how and why someone would or may feel about the subject matter! Some great advice from @leelee101 too 👍 also my poems are not intellectual and loaded with facts but most are honest and real, hopefully. Most important thing is to enjoy writing, relax and do it because you want too 💋
