Okay, so I was thinking about making a creepypasta. But it would probably turn out as a crappypasta, mainly because I'm not good at that stuff. Like, it's hard to actually scare people with your writing. For example, does this really make you scared:

I stared out the window blankly. Everything was quiet. I could hear the whoosh of the wind even though none of my windows were open. Slowly, I lifted the curtain to find it.

My worst nightmare.

See? You're kind of expecting it, so you can't really scare them, but it's a really supportive and good form of writing, I love creepypastas. Sometimes they catch me off guard, yes. It has to be something unpredictable, which is extremely hard. I think I only know of one person on this entire wiki who has actually done that.

It's different in books that are on paper. They're cliffhangers, they're scary, they leave you awake at night sometimes. A story like that on a computer doesn't give you nightmares. You might think about it, but it's not affecting your mental emotions or anything. I've had stories that trigger me to crying or laughing, but it's not as big as an impact.

Anyway, let's get back on topic. I don't feel like I could really write one that makes someone startled. Plot twists make you go, "I didn't expect that!" but they don't scare you, you know what I mean? I just think it'll be really hard to try and create that feeling when it's so extreme.

Should I try anyway?
