Sooo. Been a while, right? :] Meh, ever since yesterday, I guess I've been kinda out of it. I don't know, but I guess I haven't felt as if my writing's good enough anymore. I've always told myself that there's always room for improvement, but... what improvement? I'm not getting better, and sometimes I feel like I'm getting worse. Maybe it's just me; maybe it's true. It's just enough to make me really think more and more; "Do I want to keep writing?" Akiko's comment yesterday on GW really hurt me, I guess. She said, "I don't normally read your stuff considering how long it is." It was just weird, because I write that long since I want my readers to feel like they don't have to wait forever for me to read something they can really take in. What if a lot of people miss my stories because of an answer like that? I dunno... that comment's still in my head, and it makes me so depressed because... well, I don't like losing readers. :/ I can get jealous, and I can get competitive, but it all comes down to how I feel about my readers, right? Losing them like this and not having them in the first place... it makes me feel so pissed. They're missing out on a good story because... I dunno. Leafy told me yesterday that most people prefer sunny happy cliche stories over original characters and dark stories, no matter the plot. Well, I don't wanna change my style. I can write comedy, I can write fantasy, but... I can't change my style. I dunno, I'm just being a baby about it. Peace out<3
