Can't believe it's been nearly 2 years
It's after 6:00 on a Saturday morning - shouldn't even be conscious yet much less awake enough to be typing. I've been wondering for the last week whether to delete this journal ever since I came across my login info and re-read a bunch of unfinished fics in my ff folder on my computer.
A lot has happened since I last posted, but life goes on and my love of writing has never diminished, although there has been more original work than fanfic. I suppose when everyone around you think you've been wasting your life and what little talent you posses, it's hard not to think the same. But the thing is, they still think you're wasting your time even when you are doing what they see as legitimate writing, but with little or no tangible success.
So in the end, you wake up at 5:00 in the morning wondering why you gave in and gave up something you love doing so much. And then you lie there for a while feeling pretty stupid. And then you decide to STOP feeling stupid and just write.
