Do you like to write pieces creatively and reach out to show these pieces to other users? Try writing them out to the Goodreads community to read. This article can be your guide.
Steps
Visit the Goodreads website and sign in with your Goodreads credentials.
Access the feature. Open the drop-down list button next to the Explore link at the top of the page and click the "Creative Writing" option underneath the Community tab at the top of the screen near the bottom of the list.
Look for and click the "My Writing" link that should be positioned up near the top right corner of the Community Writing screen that displays a list of all the topics that have been written on.
Click either the Get Started or Add New Writing links. Either one will take you to the same place. The Get Started link will be below the introduction to this part of the website and will only be displayed until you've successfully written your first piece, while the Add New Writing will be near the top right corner of the page and will always be available to be used.
Read the Copyright, Fan Fiction and Etiquette pieces over on the right-hand side of the page. These will ensure you understand the rules. Also, take a skim through the Terms of Use for Writers page.
Give the creative writing piece a title and type it's title in. Each piece must have a title.
Describe the piece in general terms, and type this short statement into the box labeled Description. Don't be too descriptive though, leave something untold until you get into the piece itself. (Summarize the piece in a few words, but not so few that it's not understood very well!)
Tag the piece, so it can be found by more readers. Use a comma and space in between each term you will be using.
Categorize the piece. Use the drop-down list near the "Genre" part of the page to categorize it.
Start writing the piece. Think through all your problems as you type the piece out. Don't just freewrite. Think about the piece's characters, settings and plot and how they all interact.
Answer the Captcha at the bottom of the page. Base the answer to the captcha on the book image to the left of the textbox. They'll want the author from the image.- If the user has had their account open with Goodreads for years, they might have been grandfathered in. If you see a Captcha, type it. If you don't, thank yourself for having started it a long time ago and continue along in the process from there.

Tips
- Make each chapter into a separate entry. You can have as much time as you need constructing these entries, so don't rush.Thanks
- If you need to underline or use some other HTML-based text, you can add it with some forms of HTML. The link labeled "(some HTML is ok)" will describe which forms are okay to use, and some forms that are commonly used that shouldn't be.Thanks
- Although not specifically for a diary, creative writing can be a journal of your thoughts (as long as your thoughts are clean of other issues).Thanks
