Tick, tick... Boom! (or why you should watch this if you have writer's block)

Tick, tick... Boom! (or why you should watch this if you have writer's block)

The beginning of the year has been… shitty, to say the least.

I’ve dealt with personal losses, the tail-end of a pandemic and the beginning of a new war not that far from home (Europe is a small place, all things considered).

To say that my creative juices are dried up is a euphemism. I don’t know whether to classify that as a kindness I’m doing to myself or as me willingly not acknowledging…

Hi, I'm Kaye and it's iwaoi writing hours once again.

[kayejwrotes]

I don't know how to draw, but I know (barely) how picrew works. So until I can commission someone to draw them for me, here have my OCS, Immortal Boy and Normal Guy.

I'll use these for reference while writing. 😁✨

“You’re Not a Good Writer.”

I once received a DM comprised of just that sentence. Nothing else. No constructive criticism or any reason as to why this person clearly agreed with my own view of myself.

For someone who has never told anyone in their real life that they write anything, reading something like this from an anonymous user only solidified in my mind the fact that this person was right.

I’m not a good writer.

After an embarrassing amount of minutes passed, in which I thought about deleting every story I ever posted, I decided to delete the message instead. Unfortunately, that didn’t mean I could delete the feelings it caused or change the fact that I’m not a good writer.

Two weeks went by and I didn’t write anything, let alone post. Then I received a comment on a story I had posted three years prior, one I’d written after a death in our family. The comment read, “Thank you for sharing this heartfelt story. I really needed this. I just lost my mom and this really got me today.”

I stopped thinking about being a good writer after that. I thought instead, “what if I had deleted my stories and that one person three years later hadn’t read it that day?”

Here’s what I realized: no one is a good writer.

Good means to be approved of, but stories aren’t created from approval. They’re built from life experiences, feelings, and emotions Therefore, the impact of anyone’s story isn’t good or bad. It’s a million other things.

Heartfelt.

Sad.

Funny.

Inspiring.

Romantic.

So to all the story writers out there, hold your head up, write what is in your heart, and never doubt that there isn’t at least one person out there that needs to read your story.

So, no.

We’re not good writers, but why would we want to be?

I feel like this is the year for writing original stories and I'm thinking about switching to original writing only for a while. I still enjoy fanfic. But my heart is elsewhere and don't feel the same push to write for fandom as before. I hope you'll still support me anyway! 🙏🏻❤️

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: 文豪ストレイドッグス | Bungou Stray Dogs Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Dazai Osamu/Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs) Characters: Dazai Osamu (Bungou Stray Dogs), Nakahara Chuuya (Bungou Stray Dogs) Additional Tags: alternative universe, Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Alpha/Omega, Established Relationship, Mates, Smut, Fluff and Smut, Chuuya in lingerie, Domestic Fluff, Animal Traits, graphic description of selfies, I'm not sure this needs to be tagged, but better safe than sorry Summary:

Chuuya had been waiting for Dazai for quite some time. Something at work had come up and despite it being just a few days before Christmas, it seemed there was no way that his mate could weasel his way out of giving a hand in solving the situation. It wasn't that they had anything special planned, not with their schedules being so hectic and unpredictable, but… but Chuuya kinda wanted to do something special for tonight.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Haikyuu!! Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Characters: Oikawa Tooru, Iwaizumi Hajime, Matsukawa Issei, Hanamaki Takahiro, Yahaba Shigeru, Kyoutani Kentarou, Watari Shinji, Kunimi Akira, Kindaichi Yuutarou, Mizoguchi Sadayuki, Seijoh, Aobajousai Volleyball Club, Irihata Nobuteru Additional Tags: Canon Compliant, Summer Camp, Haikyuu Summer Camp Zine, Seijoh - Freeform, aoba johsai, team shenanigans Summary:

It was the first week after the beginning of summer break.

Everyone was in a great mood because summer was here, the weather was fantastic and they were going to be at a camp without adults. But Kindaichi couldn’t exactly let this summery hype envelop him fully like the others. He couldn’t help but have a sort of bittersweet feeling about it if he let himself think that this would be the last summer camp with everyone on the team.
