I get all my friends and family involved, as well as teachers at my school. It's much easier and satisfying when you know someone is reading your work. Once people you know are reading your work - enter competitions.

How do I know?
I've had 2 pieces of my work be commended in a national writing award. I also have had 2 pieces of work published in an anthology.

Listen, Watch, DO and learn

The problem is, I am terribly possessive of my writing. Nobody really reads it because I don't really want anybody to read it. I never feel it is finished or as good as I want it, so I don't want people reading it because then I feel that is it. It is done. So yeah, I do post a blog, but it is simply for me to get some things out there and finished, but I am in no way looking for it to be discovered. Writing is therapeutic for me, I don't care to share it to people I know, because then I have to hear the critiques and slanted interpretations.
