The Point Is Putting Something Into The World And It Being Utterly Silent When You Do - Tumblr Posts
7 months ago
It's so weird writing fanfiction now.
Comments are like unicorns. So rare.
It's a bit disheartening since you can't even get feedback and I don't know if I did okay or not. And I know I got clicks, too since I do get kudos at the very least. But comments hit different, because they can uplift an author the same way a fic lets a reader's imagination soar.

something happened in 2019-20 bc my comments have been bone dry for a long time since then
please leave comments
like people are saying you're not supposed to write for views and that is true
and i don't
but that’s not the point
the point is putting something into the world and it being utterly silent when you do
no interactions
no discussions
no thoughts
like it's taken me a long time to get over the value = views mindset but STILL comments are one of the best things ever
so people DO NOT BE AFRAID OF COMMENTING. IT'S A HUGE SEROTONIN BOOST FOR ME WHO WOULD OTHERWISE FEEL AWKWARD ABOUT GETTING NO REACTIONS ON
A PIECE I POURED MY HEART INTO
