I'm so late at responding to this incredibly heart-warming comment! I'm sorry for that. I've actually been away from the computer most days, and when I am on the computer, for the most part, I've been avoiding anything fandom-related. It's a little sad and I miss it, but it's necessary for me and it's been improving my life. Slowly I'm starting to remember why real life is important, as well as where I can find enjoyment in participating in it.
I'm sure many people were relieved when I updated (and finished) Engraved. I just couldn't leave it unfinished, after all, and the last part was collecting dust in my folder in it's 80% complete state. xD Anyway, I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Finishing it, even if it was only 3 parts, felt incredibly good. :)
Thank you for reassuring me on my writing and your compliments, you're far too kind! I'm hoping to start writing a novel soon. It will take many years to finish, especially since I need to travel more to make it what I want, but just the fact that I plan to begin writing it soon is big for me. I go through stages of "what's the point" and "I'll never get published" at the thought of writing a novel, but since I've recently felt the need to do it for myself, I feel I've finally found a genuine drive to do it.
I'm so flattered that I'm one of the only fanfic writers you pay attention to. That means a lot to me and I feel honoured by it, truly. But above all, I feel honoured that you said this: "And you know what? It's not even about the fandom. If you came out with your own book centered around your own characters, I would not hesitate for an INSTANT to purchase it immediately, and proudly." This makes me all the more encouraged to write something original, because I have readers like you who make it feel worthwhile! Thank you very much for that, words can't express how great it feels to have readers like you. <3
I'm very touched that even though you don't know me, you feel like you know me through my writing. That's extremely touching to me as a writer, since I put a lot of myself into my works. If you ever want to talk to me, look me up on skype if you have it. My skype name there is my 'aevium' pen name.
Also, I'd just like to say that that article was incredibly relevant to my situation and it helped a lot. That is a harsh truth I needed to read. Thanks very much for sharing that with me! Thanks for this entire comment, I'm deeply touched by everything that you wrote to me. Much love to you! *hugs*
I'm very glad my comments could help at all. Supremely glad! I was nervous that maybe I would come across the wrong way...but I definitely think you understand deep down what it is you need to do to make YOU happy! I wish you ALL the luck! I am going through very similar things with my art, and have now pushed myself very close to putting out my own comic. It's so scary. It's so hard to keep convincing yourself that it's worth it or that people would ever even like what you do. But it's just your own doubts holding you back from what can be amazing in time! Even if things start out rough, if you keep going, keep trying, people will notice in the end! And there will always be people who support you for your efforts. That there are people out there who go through similar feelings, it helps me to push harder myself as if to prove to everyone they have no reason to stop themselves. When you put yourself out there, as I'm sure you will, you will be doing the same for those around you! And those far away, like me, who look up to you already. Work your hardest! I'll work hard too!! And I hope that one day I can get an autographed novel from you! hahaha! xD I'll draw fanart and everything as well! So look forward to it!!
