I would suggest that you download a blinking gif then put it as backround of your text area to make it blink. Then when you type it will go away.

Add bootstrap form like this to clone the same display: jsfiddle

<textarea class="form-control" placeholder="Tell your story.." rows="3" autofocus></textarea>

Bootstrap forms: bootstrapform

You can use autofocus to accomplish this, check out w3schools for basic information on it.

<input type="text" name="fname" autofocus>
