Not to be a whiny bitch again but just so discouraged with the fact that I can't seem to build an audience for my fanfics. I thought I had a special story but I have to accept my audience isn't there.

I've been thinking it for awhile but I'm probably taking down my stories and making them original since I'm not getting feedback either way. Not sure if that means I'm leaving the dragon age fandom cause I am enjoying my server but I'm feeling lately drained and underappreciated. Like it might be time to move on and build something good for myself instead of others. If that story won't get loved in fandom maybe it could be loved somewhere else. It might be night time sadness again but this thought keeps coming back to me.

People sometimes ask me what it’s like to be a writer. Here’s my answer:

Being a writer isn’t a solid singular feeling that I can describe. Rather, it is a great many feelings that all come together to fuel my inspiration. It’s being in the middle of something and having a fantastic idea that you just have to write down smack you in the face. It’s having your heart race when you finally get past that seemingly endless bout of writer’s block. It’s putting every single ounce of passion and love into your characters, whether you created them or not. Because to me, stories are more than stories. In my eyes, they’re lifelines. And characters are more than just fictional people on a screen or a piece of paper. They are so much more than that to me. In my heart, they are living, breathing people that I care for with everything I have. It’s true when they say you can live a thousand lives through a story. I’ve lived millions. And I have so many more stories to write because I’m nowhere near finished.

That’s what it is to be a writer.

i think i can say artwise...im definitley spoiled. I get to watch and look at everyone else’s beautiful and inspiring stuff and I keep thinking oh wow it will be cool when i start making stuff. and im like...b!tch...do it.. just...fucking make it already.

I think it has something to do with my instant gratification  wants and just not pushing myself more. Also..being really greedy and like watching art being made without having to think about making more

Of course the only thing better than writing one endlessly long story is writing two of them simultaneously.

I was checking my e-mail before going to sleep, and I noticed that I had two new reviews on two of my fanfics from FF.net, Sign and Noticed.

Normally something that brightens my day, they ended up being this:

C. U. Laffin Jr: i hate lesbians i hope you fucking die

C. U. Laffin Jr: Good, because I think you're suicidal enough to shoot yourself with a shotgun like Mary Kay Bergmann did... SHOOT YOURSELF!

And I just...I feel sick. Good or bad, I've never deleted a review before; but I just had to sign into my account and delete the reviews. Because this is just vile hatred, and it really upset me to think that these reviews would be on two fics that I was actually proud of.

Now I just can't stop shaking, and I feel sick to my stomach, because for some reason this really messed with me. From tumblr, yeah, it has a reputation from gathering some scumballs, so messages like that can happen and they hurt, but it's easier to just shrug them off.

But FF.net, where I've been for years and only received the best support?

I feel betrayed. I honestly, honestly do.

I love writing alternate-endings/new-beginnings to my stories. Even though I know I'll never use them, it's still a way for me to get a better understanding of my characters.

So in addition to lies, concealment, infidelity, and literal dark magic, we can add "accidental manslaughter" to the list of things Ichatrina is built on. Is anyone surprised that their son is the assistant to the regional manager for a demon, literally stealing people's souls and trying to burn down the universe?

the random personal and other shenanigans stories and adventures, and also some important posts : ) - the stories anon

Oh good! I'm glad someone out there appreciates them.

I swear, if I ever decide to write a memoir or autobiography, my tumblr is going to be ripe for the picking of candid stories and moments of my youth. Or maybe I'll just write a sitcom about my gang of rowdy student journalists, because that needs to happen.

New page, and now Chapter 2 is complete! Phew. Finally.

I feel good about this. And more so on the plans to come for this one. *whistles*

Ginny yawned after he finished the story, her eyes were fluttering shut, "I love your stories. Night, Draco."

"Just go to sleep." He chuckled quickly against her, pulling her close as he closed his eyes and got comfortable.

I'm so horribly nice. Like today, this girl hit on me, and I didn't want to tell her that I didn't think she was cute...so I sort of avoided me telling her that she wasn't cute...

and she said "Keep me in mind if you ever decide to date" and I said okay! and now I HAVE TO KEEP MY FACEBOOK IM TO OFFLINE CAUSE SHE'S GOING TO IM AND IT'S AWKWARD.
