Writer Motivation - Tumblr Posts

Fic Writing Updates:

I have WIPs and no time or intrinsic motivation to nudge any of them over from Drabble Style Paragraphs into Complete Scenes and Thoughts. However, the fuel for my brain that is my reading 100+ books last year has kept my private writerly experiments quite fun. Maybe sometime later this year, I will have something I feel the need to share again.

get up and go write.

write for the people who will one day pore over the words you've chosen.

write for the people who think you could never have gotten so far.

write so you can bring words to life.

write so one day you can look back and see how far you've come.

write to inspire people who are too afraid, or who cannot, put words to paper.

write, because if you don't create this, who will?

and if anything, get up and go write for yourself. there's still so far to go. take a break, breathe, but go back. there's still so many things to share.

Ramble, Ramble, Ramble

I need to get something out of my chest.

I hate sometimes being an author.

Stories that you write with love and put a lot of thought into it get ignored and stories you thought randomly about at 3 a.m. are freacking well-loved, that even after you finish them, they still get comments or likes. *side-eyes Isekai'd as Chloe*

I noted also Reader Insert more loved than stories with OCs, I ask you why? WHY?

For us authors OCs are our kids, why don't you like my child, but as soon it's in the reader's perspective it's hot shit.

Currently, I want to write for Maiden of the Moon because I love my moon bunny Yua, I want to tell her story so much, but besides one person, no one commented on it.

Then we have The Fox and the Sun, which is really Mary-Sue if you think about it, Local Ex-Upper Demon is a Demon Slayer, overpowered, and will date sunshine child Tanjiro more at 11 p.m.

I bet if I made Maiden of the Moon a Reader too it would have been more liked.

What is this hate with OCs?

AN OC IS AN INVENTED CHARACTER OF A FAN AND THEY COULD NEVER DESTROY YOUR SACRED CANON SINCE IT'S A GODDAMN FAN CHARACTER IN A GODDAMN FANFICTION, A STORY WRITTEN BY A FAN WITH ABSOLUT NO POWER OVER THE ANIME/MANGA/MOVIE/TVSHOW/CARTON/COMIC/GAME/ETC.

I'm just...I don't get it!

I always loved OC, because, let's be real, most canon pairings suck, or canon is so stupid in a lot of things and needs someone to call out the bullcrap or canon ended so bad some needs to fix it.

I'm the strange one?

Like I want to really hear why Reader-Inserts can be the most Mary-Sue thing ever and all will eat it up, but a well-thought OC gets hate because they get shipped with a canon character, they change the storyline completely, they are the hero or etc.?

What is the difference?

What?

Also, pro-tip from an author if you love a story.....THEN COMMENT ON IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AUTHORS NEED COMMENTS LIKE FOOD, HOW THE HECK SHOULD WE KNOW YOU LOVE OUR STORY AND WANT MORE IF YOU DON'T TELL US. A LITTLE SMILEY-EMOJI IS ENOUGH. WE ARE AUTHORS WE WILL INTERPRET EVEN INCORRECT KEYSMASH AS SOMETHING POSITIVE.

Well more I don't have to say.

Have a nice day/night!

The Power of a comment

Hi my loves just a quick blog from me ^^

I was in a bad writer's block since I wanted so hard to work on Maiden on the Moon, but seeing it getting no comments made me so sad and frustrated. 😞

I was really debating with myself to just drop the story when someone nice from Ao3 left me a comment! 😀

It made me so happy that in two days I fineshed chapter 3 and posted it today.

What do I want to tell you with this?

PLEASE COMMENT, LIKE, REBLOG ANYTHING YOU READ YOU COULD BE THE REASON AN AUTHOR DOESN'T GIVE UP ON THE FANFICTION YOU LOVE AND CONTINES WRITING!

Really guys even a keysmash or a smiley makes an author day, please thing about that we write for free the stories you like and we only want some feedback for it.

That was all.

Have a nice day/night! ❤️

Back again (A late Update)

Hi, my loves!

I'm really, really late with my announcement that I'm back from my summer break, I mean it's already November XD

I just started writing new stories again and forgot to make it XD

I have to take better care of this blog too.

So if you follow my main blog, you have seen that I started 3 Naruto FFs, 2 Final Fantasy 7, updated my Demon Slayer FF and finished To Belong and Cancelled Together, We Map the World and My War.

Yeah, I was productive.

Sadly not all my FFs have the success I wish.

For example, I really worked hard on my Final Fantasy 7 one, Anomaly, but the comments are not what I wish. -_-

To this day my most favourited, loved and commented FF is freacking Isekai'd as Chloe!

I ask how, how, this one and my others not?!

Writing is really a pain in the butt. :/

You plan other FFs out, try to be creative and new and some stupid idea you had at 3 a.m. is the boom.

I think I know how Sir Arthur Conan Doyle felt now.

Did you know he hated writing for Sherlock Holmes? After the success, he had with the first books he knew he never again would be successful with another book than with Holmes and that pissed him off.

That's why he killed him.

And then on demand of his fans made him alive again.

Isekai'd as Chloe is my Sherlock Holmes.

I can't say how much I hate this FF! I want to delete it and set fire to it because I have a feeling none of my other FFs will ever be as loved like Isekai'd as Chloe.

This makes me so angry.

Will I go down in fandom history with this Reader-Insert and my other fanworks will be just footnotes?

This makes me really sad.

And angry.

Stupid Isekai'd as Chloe!

Grr!

Okay, enough with the whining I said my bit, I will just hope for the best.

So you probably wonder what the schedule will be.

Right now I want to concentrate on Nothing is True, since I have a nice person on Ao3 who always comments and makes me happy to write.

And on Maiden of the Moon, since I'm rewatching the anime Demon Slayer ^^

I got a nice new comment for it on fanfiction.net ^^

I can't repeat myself enough times COMMENT, COMMENT, COMMENT, if you want that story to get updated!

This was all for today, I think.

Until next time, my loves!

Self-doubt

I'm not okay.

I think my worst nightmare, that Isekai'd as Chloe would be my Sherlock Holmes, is coming true.

No one cares for my other stories.

No comments, no votes, no reblogs, nothing of anything.

I had three nice people who commented on Nothing is True and suddenly only one remained.

Did the story take a bad turn? Did I made Kohana to OP? Will I ever get an answer for it?

Maiden of the Moon gets votes from a nice person on Wattpad and I have a Guest on Fanfiction.net. I hope he will still comment.

Did I make Yua too strong? Why won't tell me anybody what's wrong?

In Times like this, I just want to DELETE anything.

Mostly Isekai'd as Chloe.

This is the bane of my existence!

I wish I never published it.

So I would never know how it feels to have a successful story that gets comments, likes, votes, reblogs and so on.

You can't miss what you never experienced.

I'm really thinking about just leaving fandom behind and not writing anymore.

No one seems to care for the stories I'm telling.

I'm not okay.

I don't know if I will recover from this.

You may think I'm a whiny bitch, but I don't care.

My feelings are valid.

Any author has to right to get feedback.

But maybe I was just a one-hit wonder with Isekai'd as Chloe.

This is the worst feeling.

I wish I never wrote this story!

I'm done.

Until next time, maybe.

Don't wonder if I really delete anything.

Then this is a Goodbye.

Maybe I'm too early with this but... All I want for Christmas is...people who comment on my stories! And no I don't need more votes or comments or likes or reblogs on Isekai'd as Chloe! Give the other FFs some love, please!

Dear Fanfic/Book Writer,

Hey there, my wonderful friend !

I wanted to drop you a little note to remind you of something incredibly important: your stories matter, and they make a difference. I know you've been feeling a bit doubtful lately, but I want you to know that your work has a profound impact on others, including me. Remember those times when we stayed up all night, devouring stories with wide-eyed wonder ? Giggling and kicking our feet in the middle of the night, knowing we should be sleeping but the plot was so good and tension so high we had to read the next chapter ? The frustrated groan we let out as we realized the fic had not been updated since 2014 or something ? The matching screams as the characters finally kissed after CHAPTERS of yearning and slow-burn ? The way the characters came to life, making us laugh, cry, and feel everything in between ? Well, your words have the power to transport us to another world too. Someone in this big a$$ world is exactly like this, reading yours. Someone out there is giggling, screaming, awake at 3 am, reading your fic, taking a pause and making faces at yours. You'll be the person they mention in their text when they talked to their friends, recommending your works, leaving comments and kudos, reblogging your stuff, and overall just buzzing with happiness and energy as they receive the email telling them you just updated. They're going to be the one stopping their stuff dead in their tracks to just run and read your work. I'm 3000% sure someone out there is absolutely in love with you and your work(s). With the way you describe feelings, characters, make those sometimes heartbreaking scenes that tug at our heartstrings... Someone out there is reacting the same way we did back then and that's one of the most beautiful things in this Galaxy. You are and will be someone the reader remember. You will be the one they mention to their friends, maybe even make fanarts of your works or even start writing because you're inspiring them. I'm 25 but trust and believe I remember those fics I was reading at 12/13 and the overwhelming joy I felt reading them. They were a beacon of light in the darkness of my home and my friend, you are this beacon of light for someone.

Your storytelling talent is a gift. You have this incredible ability to capture emotions, create vivid scenes, and bring characters to life in a way that resonates with people. Your stories touch hearts, ignite imaginations, and even inspire others to pursue their own creative passions and no one in this Galaxy is going to change the way you make them feel, the way you inspire them.

I know it's easy to doubt ourselves and question if our work truly matters. But let me assure you, your stories matter. They have the power to uplift spirits, bring comfort during tough times, and provide an escape from the chaos of everyday life/life's problems. Your words create a safe haven, a place where readers can find comfort and companionship, a community we all long for at some point in our lives.

Never underestimate the impact you have on others. Your stories have left an imprint on my heart and the hearts of countless others and are still leaving marks on us. Your unique perspective, your creativity, and your dedication to your craft shine through every word you write and we are grateful and thankful you are choosing to share them with us.

So please, don't give in to those moments of self-doubt. Believe in yourself and your stories just as much as we believe in them, believe in you. Embrace the power of your imagination and keep sharing your beautiful creations with the world. You never know whose life you might touch, whose spirits you might uplift, or whose dreams you might ignite and I know you already have ignited more than one soul with your work(s).

Your words are a gift. You are a gift. And the world needs your gift more than ever. Keep writing, keep creating, and keep shining your light through your stories. I believe in you, and I'm grateful to call myself a fan of your incredible talent Bestie 💖 With love, [Wacky/ Bucky_]

I'm the slowest writer to ever exist, because I'm 95% paralyzed by perfectionism and anxiety. I get so in my head that I labor over single sentences for days. Sometimes weeks. A single 160 character tweet takes me at least an hour to write and rewrite ten times. Despite that, since 2012, I've written four full length novels, two novellas, and 460k words of fanfiction, which amounts to another six and a half novels.

Was all of that stuff good? Listen, my first two novels are fucking unreadable. The rest? Depends on who you ask. But whether they're good isn't the point. I wrote them. Letter by letter. Word by word. Sentence by goddamn sentence. I don't think you can do it, I fucking know you can, because I somehow managed it with a brain that spends most of its waking hours punching itself in the face, like the world's dumbest bully.

I'm not gonna tell you to believe in yourself. For someone filled with insecurity or self-loathing, believing in yourself can feel as far away as the moon. Much too distant to even contemplate. So no, you don't have to believe in yourself. You just have to keep going, no matter how you feel about you. You can be motivated by all kinds of things. Personally, I'm a big fan of spite. I will write because I was told not to write. I will write because I have a one-sided battle in my mind with everyone who ever doubted me, called me names, hit me, or treated me like I didn't have value.

Long story long, I believe in you, even if you don't. So, just fucking do the thing. Because you can.

I know you can.

You know what? I believe that you can finish your writing project. I believe you can update your fic. I believe you can work on your WIP. I don't care if you think it's cringy or bad. I don't care if we've never met or interacted in our whole lives. I believe in you. Keep going - you've got this.

get up and go write.

write for the people who will one day pore over the words you've chosen.

write for the people who think you could never have gotten so far.

write so you can bring words to life.

write so one day you can look back and see how far you've come.

write to inspire people who are too afraid, or who cannot, put words to paper.

write, because if you don't create this, who will?

and if anything, get up and go write for yourself. there's still so far to go. take a break, breathe, but go back. there's still so many things to share.
