I miss writing. But I’m exhausted. My job is draining. Being alive is draining. I’m not ‘big’ enough for my work to matter, but I bleed myself into it—it’s not done quickly or easily. There’s effort. Emotion. It feels in vain when I consistently flop. I’ve never felt so disheartened & unmotivated.

If your discord is raving about fanfic or fanart in private, consider screenshotting (anonymise the usernames) and share that with the artist! We love that shit! And most creators don't have have inherent problems with it being discussed in private, but when we never see it it really does suck.

i keep seeing "fandom is ruined" posts but all you guys have to do is follow accounts ran by normal adults and start blocking anyone that even mildly annoys you

“what if my fic isn’t good 😭” what if it’s good? what if it comforts someone? what if it becomes someone’s favorite work? what if you find people who enjoy the same things as you? so what if it ends up being bad, what if it brings you joy?

while it’s true lots of people write w/no incentive other than the joy of creating, I’d be lying if I said my lack of productivity in recent months isn’t partly d/t being exhausted w/the lack of engagement my work consistently gets.

Fan fiction writers will craft book-length pieces with the promise of no monetary gain, all for the love of the craft and the fandom. People writing for months on end amidst their busy lives. It’s a testament to the fact that humans will create with no other incentive than for the joy creating.

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.

every time I read a ‘real book’ I end up coming home to fan fiction like a long lost friend. I’m ruined, no one writes as well as a queer, depressed 32 y/o w/a full time dayjob they hate and a shitty reality to escape.

i think netflix has poisoned how we think about "success." if people haven't read a fic within hours of it being posted, that doesn't mean the fic has failed. people are busy. maybe they're saving it for bedtime or a weekend or a better day!

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.
