3 Big Mistakes I Made Online

[image error]

Shutting your mouth is hard, but keeping your fingers from typing and posting comments is even harder. When I first got started on the internet, I was befuddled and immature … and I made a bunch of mistakes.

Most of this happened in the dark days before Reveries, before I published books, and even before I was “Kellyn Roth.” (Yes, the pen name came later.)

You see, I really got my start on the internet through the Young Writers Program (YWP) version of NaNoWriMo (ywp.nanowrimo.org).

I was twelve or thirteen, just a kid, and honestly, I had no idea what was up.

It was a pretty safe environment (for some reason that changed after the switch to the new website, but I digress), and I really enjoyed it.

But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t space for mistakes. There’s always room for idiocy. So let me share my top 3 big mistakes I made online that I hope to never make again!
