sometimes you have to do the thing that makes you happy and have that be enough. it may not be the next big thing. it may not bring you engagements, reblogs or conversations, but it’ll make you happy and that has to count too.
do the thing that’ll make you happy because it’s been rotting in your brain, making the day go a little quicker until you can get back to it. do it because it makes you excited—like, a genuine smile trying to show (if it doesn’t crack over your face) as you put pen/pencil to paper or screen, or words to sentences, sentences to paragraphs, and paragraphs to scenes.
create the art, write the fic, make the gif or write the poem that’ll make you grin. tell or show the story that sits in your head and tries to silence all the others—even if it means abandoning (for now) a story that’s made you popular or the thing that made you feel “seen”. do it, even if you’ve never drawn/created/or written before, and share it because you want to, not because you feel obligated.
take this as your sign to do the things that make you happy—whatever form that is. and be kind to yourself, you’re allowed to change your mind or swap fandoms; you’re allowed to make mistakes and draw four fingers instead of five or leave an obvious typo. because you’re human, and because we all start somewhere—even when you move fandoms, even when you just made a tumblr or AO3 acct.
and because it’s okay to just create for fun and happiness.

Don't let people tell you what to write. That's anyone who sounds like "Oh, you're writing sci-fi? You must put aliens in it! Here, I have a list of sci-fi books you should read first, for ideas." Their suggestions should immediately go in the "not doing that" pile.
And while we're here, artists, don't let people tell you what to draw. They can go draw it themselves if they love it so much.
Your skills and talents do not inherently exist to be other people's tools. So don't let your mind be either by giving in to unsolicited suggestions.

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well
enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.
It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar
