why do you think it flopped huh? you're one of the best writers here on tumblr! don't underestimate yourself girl, just give it some more time to grow! you don't know, you're one of them who updates on tumblr daily and it makes me soo freakin happy!! im saying it again girl😤😤 DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE YOUR WRITING NOR YOURSELF. we all love you a lot!!! <333 (ik this is some crappy advice, but i really love you and your works!!)

i’m certainly far from the best but that’s literally so sweet of you to say! i really appreciate you whoever you are like seriously i love you so much for this message, it genuinely means the world and also sorry for highjacking this to talk about it haha <3

i’ll be transparent here, and i’m sure other writers feel the same. when you work really really hard on a fic and it gets only 500 or less notes like yes that’s great. i’m not diminishing the fact that it is in any way and i hope nobody thinks i am at all, or thinks i don’t appreciate the support because i genuinely do with everything i have.

however, when you scroll through tags and see people getting 10k+ notes all the time (not just because they’ve been writing for a long time either some are new blogs) than it’s discouraging and starts to make you think “hey, maybe my writing isn’t that great and this fic i was proud of actually sucks.” it’s really hard not to think that way. than you see the feedback, the anons, the interactions etc etc and it’s like damn…maybe i’m not good enough.

and look, people can sit here and say it all day to writers not to care about notes or whatever. and it’s AMAZING to see the same people reblogging/liking but most writers share their works to get out there, to get recognized, and yes to get notes even if people don’t want to admit that. so when shit flops it’s like what’s the point really? and that certainly doesn’t diminish the support from those same people (like you lovely anon) but it still really takes a toll on you. and it just makes me people not want to write at all…

than you have the whole mess of reblogs being non-existent on this app lately.
