Blocking all of these spam follower bots got me thinking I’m playing whack-a-mole

Every day I tell myself: “quit your job, take that career break 🙌🙌😎”

It’s all great until my cat’s expensive vet bill smacks some sense back into me 😩😪

2022 Plans

Sup y’all! Can’t believe it’s legit the last day of 2021 :O 

Long post below so please click “read more” if you want to read my rambles lol. 

So, I know I haven’t been active this year. I think I wrote ten stories for 2021 (maybe? Idk, it feels like that tbh). As a writer, I felt very guilty because I thought I was not doing enough. I didn’t have a lot of motivation to write stories mainly because of real life (i.e work stress). It took me a while to break away from this mentality, but I felt so much better. 

During my downtime, I did a lot of reflecting. I hit a lot of personal achievements such as becoming more confident with my finances. There’s seriously a lot of knowledge and resources on the internet (special shoutout to TikTok!) that I took it all in like a sponge. 

I do have big hopes for myself in 2022. I feel ready to make huge changes in my life, but that will require some sacrifices. After thinking long and hard, I’ve decided to take a step back from Tumblr and being a fanfic writer. I’ll still be here, just not as frequent (so please don’t feel afraid to send an ask or hop on my DMs). I’ll write stories, just not too often unless I get a huge inspiration once in a blue moon. 

Thank you to my followers--y’all are the true MVPs. Thank you for all the notes, comments, reblogs, asks, everything. No gesture is too small, especially for fanfic creators! 

Have a Happy New Year everyone!
