Problems at the very beginning....
In order to better cope with my BT worries and procrastination urges I started writing fanfics about a month ago. This is my first foray into fanfic writing, I've been writing sporadically for years but BT was the first time I really felt inspired to write my own stuff.
I now have about 21k posted on fanfiction.net and I'm wondering when the worries will alleviate. I've got around 35k written (but when I write something I sit on it for awhile to try and edit it as many times as possible) but I really don't know when I'll be able to finish these stories I've started!
And the thing is even though I desperately don't want to I think I'm going to have to go on hiatus. All I've been doing for the past month after working on finals and term papers is watching BT then writing fanfics.
I've gotten into the horrible habit and addicting habit of keeping a window open to my fanfic account and checking my page views. And now 25k into my first fanfic Daysleeper I'm finding myself at a dreadful impasse. Especially for the last week I find myself checking my page views every ten fifteen minutes looking at the incredible count I'm getting and wondering are they going to review? PLease dear god review!!! Since when did I start writing for the reader? I mean sure I'm posting them but shouldn't I be happy with it myself, these should be for me right?!
*sigh*
But though I worry for myself I keep thinking well at least its a productive obsession. ;-D
