exhausted, but not in a good way

Dec 30, 2010 22:16

We just finished our final family dinner after seven in a row. I'm so tired and sick of people I want to cry. In the car on the way home I did cry a bit. I've got a whopping case of sad tinged with hopeless. It's not helping that almost every fic in the fandom I wrote for yuletide has been rec'd except mine. I think I've been deluding myself for the last ( Read more... )

It may yet have been recced! I just now discovered that one of mine has been recced twice. The other two have received no rec love at all and the other fics in their fandoms have. So, I doubt it has anything to do with your writing. ♥

I feel like my writing is fine, but utterly blah. I am 99% sure PMS is doing a number on me at the moment. That's usually when I have the worst attacks of low self esteem.

Same as my LJ, but the stories for Yuletide stay anonymous until after the new year.

A lot of the fics in my Yuletide fandom have been recced, but not mine. I'm a bit sad, but recs can be a hit or miss business, and sometimes it has a hive mentality in that the same ones tend to be mentioned over and over. *hugs*

I hope you have a lovely, quiet NYE. <3

I know it's PMS making me doubt myself. Waiting to hear back from agents is always so hard.

I really, really liked your story. It was something I missed in the books, that I didn't know I wanted until I'd read it. The characters and tone felt right and their actions were completely believable. I can't say that about other Yuletide stories I read.

That much socializing is exhausting. You need some time alone to recover. I'm sure with some down time you'll feel better.
