Lowkey Guys, Remember To Write For Yourself Too. I Abandoned My Favorite Wip Of All Time For Two Years

lowkey guys, remember to write for yourself too. i abandoned my favorite wip of all time for two years because i thought other people wouldn’t like it. that sucked, and i decided to stop caring if other people will think it’s weird and write what i like. it’s made me a lot happier since i’ve accepted that

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!

always love how when AO3 does not appear to he working, I go, “is it just me? let me go to tumblr” and go to the AO3 tag to find other ppl losing their mind as well.

the only thing that would be better would be if AO3 was like, actually working

I want everyone to know that this is me every time someone drops a comment on something I've written:
