It's a lot less daunting than you'd think! I was super nervous the first time I posted a fanfic but everyone was super nice (⁠人⁠ ⁠•͈⁠ᴗ⁠•͈⁠) And listen. If you come up with enough to want to do this. I would adore it. You could think it's the worst thing you've ever written (though I sure hope you wouldn't), and it would still bring me so much joy.

But, that's kinda irrelevant. What matters is that you have fun with it. That it's worthwhile to you. I'll just be there to cheer you on ( ・⁠▽⁠・)⁠⊃♡

Dracugoona but it's G1 💗 need more of these moments in G3 🤭

#I so get that feeling like you're exposing yourself part #I once wrote a short story as a gift to my mom cause she complained I never shared any of my stuff with her #and it felt like cutting out a piece of my heart and presenting it on a silver platter 😅#but that's art for ya #that's what makes it so special; that it makes a part of you visible; in some way #but that feels revealing; especially in writing I've noticed #and perfectionism is just the cherry on top :| (that's something I've been working on for years now).#I like to ask myself: If I was someone else; someone who's interests align with what I've made here #would I rather the piece be perfect; or not exist at all? and I'd always rather get to experience that human imperfection #regarding connective tissue... I usually just type & allow my brain to go with whatever it pleases so I don't have that coming up as much #but when it does. you can get away with some time skips. not everything has to be seen by the reader.#I once had a scene where I needed some characters to witness a conversation and start talking about that topic. but it always seemed off #so I just. didn't write it. I had my pov character zone out and only catch their friends talking about the witnessed topic #you gotta cheat a bit sometimes XD #as for the awkwardness. gosh I feel everything you said there. actually talking to people is hella tough. reaching out doesn't always go ho #you'd like. you get scared to do so again. but it's still worth it; talking to people. it's worth trudging through the bad to find the good #terrifying as that is. ya know; that's why I started being active on tumbr. as a sort of exposure therapy. it genuinely helped #just a year ago talking to people on here or publishing a post got my heart pounding like crazy. that doesn't come up nearly as much anymor #I could say a lot more but I'm running out of room. just. you're not alone.#you worry about putting all of the conversation in the tags; but look at what I'm doing 😅#but worrying about how you come across just gets tiring. the less I filter myself the more fun I have. you'll find people who appreciate #that.#I for one love reading your reblog tags #I'm sure I'd like whatever else you have in store too
