With the power of taking these words to heart I managed to finish my fic with... somewhat of the ending I wanted! I admit I don't feel there's too much of 'myself' in the fic I wrote other than the writing style itself because it was a story I am not used to telling and at an unfamiliar viewpoint. I think in this case it was a good thing though because if it were a story I knew I wrote with my whole vibe in it I'd be too embarrassed to even post it LOL. Writing is different for me than drawing, I don't really feel too self conscious about posting my art ever, but my writing? If I think too hard about it I'll cringe LOL. Is this normal, do you think? Or is it like a reverse feeling for writers?Some advice from someone who often has waaaaaaay too many ideas in their head for their own good: take your time! Your work won’t be any good if you’re not all good. And at the very least, it certainly won’t feel good if you’re not all good. That’s really the most important thing, I think: not just being satisfied when pulling back and looking at your work, but being emotionally and mentally satisfied, too. I hope that makes sense…
I would love to share the plethora of fics I've written and more here, but I am not strong enough to stomach my own writing for that LOL.
Twiddles thumbs, I would like to do something with that roleplay section though...
At any rate, hiya, hello friends! Another informal post time. Gonna beat myself into not listening to my OCD about this thing.
I've been fighting this shy and anxious meek feeling that's been bubbling up with my facade of confidence, but I fear it's catching up to me... Maybe it's my insomnia catching up to me again. Anyways! I want to shed the spotlight on everyone else for a moment! What's going on in your lives? How are you feeling today? Thinking about anything?
I'm thinking about how badly I want cake, scarlet and violet release and... how close my birthday is now, wowieee. It's kind of hard to believe I have so many dear people celebrating the life I often thought about throwing away. I don't think there's a big enough word to describe how I feel. I'm also sorry, my health hasn't been the best again, and I had a really reaaaally bad moment recently where I was on withdrawal from my meds and had a breakdown right after I went out for lunch. It's super weird how that works, like. I genuinely felt fine and then...
Things weren't.
But I'll keep taking life as it comes. Done anything fun lately? Planning anything?
