Sometimes Learning Spanish Involves Getting Burnt Out And Discouraged And Feeling Like You're Never Going

it's me and my unhealthy sleeping schedule against the world

do you ever just … picture a whole scene, a whole fanfiction in your head, you know how to place every single word of the english dictionary that you need (or your language dictionary), you know how to structure your sentences, you know just what your characters are going to say to each other and then… and then you just open microsoft word.

Watching S4 ep7 and I just want to give Spence a hug goddamn

Sup! I am going on a bit of a hiatus, I have other stuff I want to work on aside from fanfiction & just some other stuff in life! I could only be gone a week or two or I may be gone a month.

Ill still be reading & rebloging on here so ill still be about I just wont be posting fanfics for any fandom!

(request box is still open but I wont get to them till I'm back!)

I got a refferal for an ENT (im deaf) and the the wait time is 54 weeks

Im moving to a new city in September :|

Then i had to argue with the receptionist over stuff and overall just want to cry, terrible appt 2/10

2 for the refferal actually happening

At the DRs office, might cry

making a Spencer x Genius!SelectiveMute!Morgan!Reader purely for self indulgence, its going to be a series just bc I feel like adding a real one alongside my Autistic!Reader series

"Oh your a writer? you must have great spelling & grammar when you text!"

no actually its barley counted as english please expect less

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions

If I was desperate for kudos I would not be out here posting villain ships, minor character rarepairs, and other deeply unpopular ships.

I know how to write popular fic. I know how to farm kudos. That's not what I'm here for.

"Readers need to remember that authors don't know a reader liked their fic unless the reader tells them by leaving a kudos or a comment" does not mean "waahhh waahhh I need attention!"

It means "even if writers write purely for themselves, if you don't bother to interact with writers when you do enjoy their work, they might stop posting and just keep their work to themselves."

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who aren't reading the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is not aimed at the people who did not enjoy the fanfiction in question.

"If you enjoy a work you should kudos or comment" is aimed at people who read a fanfiction, enjoyed it, and then didn't bother to even do the bare minimum to share their excitement about it with the work's creator, even though that excitement is literally the only thing they get in return for posting their work.

Fanfiction authors write because they enjoy writing. They post because they want to form a connection with the people who enjoyed their work.

This is not an attempt to scold anyone, I literally don't care if I get kudos or not. It's simply an attempt to remind people that fanfiction is a community, and fan authors can't read your mind.
