"just Write The Story You Want To Read!" They Said. Well, Guess What, Now I Have 14 Unfinished Drafts

"just write the story you want to read!" they said. well, guess what, now i have 14 unfinished drafts because apparently, i want to read 14 different stories at once.

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

I like writing.

I like the process of writing. I like the mechanics of writing.

I like writing down words and picking what order that they should go in to best convey the meaning and images in my mind to the person reading them. I like thinking about the way a sentence sounds and the way it interacts with the other sentences around it. I like thinking about what words should repeat, and what words should stand alone, and what words should be swapped out with other words.

I like the actual writing part of writing!
