And If Today Was Rough For You, I Am Proud Of You.

and if today was rough for you, i am proud of you.

and if you suffered today silently, i am proud of you.

and if you struggled with eating but you still ate, i am proud of you.

and if you were not happy for your body but you let it exist in the peace, i am proud of you.

whatever happened today good or bad, whatever you felt today - i am still very much proud of you, please keep going my friend, i love you.

Taking anti-depressant pills?? Seeing a therapist??? Journaling??? No need babe, my fav writer just dropped another x reader fic.

Kinda miserable about my cat but at least one funny thing happened today and that's something to hold onto.

I was on a post about how people with long fanfics planned them out. I mentioned mine was, 'really long' but not how long, before I talked about how I planned it.

And a dude came in to lecture me about

How

To

Write

A

Long

Fic

Me with a fic longer than the king james bible:

My methods wouldn't work, you see. I planned too much, I was overthinking. I needed more room for creative freedom or I'd run out of gas, I needed to let it flow and stop controlling it. I would never, he said, write a fic longer than 50k, and he would know, because he had written a fic that was a MASSIVE 110k.

And I'm sitting there with TRT's 840k wordcount behind my back like

So I let him get through the whole thing. And I go, "this was helpful, thank you! Do you have any advice to make this fic of mine any longer then? I'd love to catch up to your wordcount."

And then I posted a pic of TRT's wordcount.

I've never been blocked so fast. 💀

And thus I basically got to live out

"I don't have a type"

...I might have a type

Thank you so much for this 😭❤

To all the fic writers out there that are not currently writing. Either it's because of RL, health, writer's block or something has happened that have disheartened you. Thank you for what you've written, and don't ever feel pressured or stressed - fanfic should be something good for all of us; both reader and writer. You're more important than what you do, but thank you for what you've done!
