This hit home, and I think it will resonate hard with all my creative friends, here. You are amazing and brilliant and I BEG YOU to keep creating!! ❤️❤️❤️

*reading my own writing* wow this really does cater to all my specific needs

we were talking about fanfics

editor: So, would you accept that people write with your characters?

author next to me: Absolutely not! They're mine. I wouldn't like that at all.

me, blinks: But that's a great way to be known! People love your story and characters so much it inspires them to create. That's how fandoms grow.

other author: Maybe, but I wouldn't like it all.

me: Fair, to each their own.

(but in my mind i was like "enjoy obscurity I guess." There are four fanfics about my first novel and they're my jewels. I stare at my ao3 page when I feel down. my goal is to have my own ao3 category.)

other author: I wouldn't want other people to write my story, but badly.

me: lol what you don't want is people writing your story but better.

Remember to write whatever the hell you want. No matter how grotesque or weird it is, write it. You'll regret not writing it.
