I think I need to take an A&A hiatus. Not like…not writing it. But taking some time and writing a few chapters out before publishing more. I need to try some new projects, too. I need new inspiration. I wanted to finish it before a year was up, but I’m not seeing that happening. And I don’t think I’m in a place to produce any kind of quality writing right now. It’s not been fun to write. And honestly, I worry this fic has fallen flat. Maybe that’s just me making unfair comparisons. Maybe I’m discouraged over engagement. Maybe it’s me being too self critical. Maybe it’s because real life isn’t stopping until school lets out, and my mind and body are exhausted.

Right now, I’m actively fighting my instinct to say, “I’m a bad writer who can never produce anything truly good or anything with depth.” I’m fighting my instinct to wallow in self pity. I’m not giving up. But maybe stepping back until I can bring my best to the table is the healthy thing to do. Or maybe I’m just a coward. It’s hard to say.

Am I more afraid to write potentially shitty work, or to be forgotten about while I obsess over making it just right?

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

could it be enough just to float in your orbit?

so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you chose the wrong major and had to start over again. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.

I'm just interesting what's gonna be the result on Tumblr

Will I ever forgive Fringe for putting Altliv through a sudden and traumatic birth, letting her accept and enjoy motherhood for all of .00003 seconds, and erasing it all with zero consequences? Nah

sending so much love to everyone who feels like they’re never chosen as the best friend, as the partner, as the favorite. sending love to all of you who have been treated and felt like second best. sending love to all of you who have felt rejected and unwanted. to all of you who have had to try really hard to fit in because you felt like you never will. 

you are so loved. you will be seen and heard by the right people. you can trust that you are valuable and not defined by other people’s perceptions of you. if someone doesn’t see your worth, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

It’s fine because I’m actually using a secret technique called writing it in my head and nowhere else.
