* Reposted from Patreon bc it's also sort of relevant for Wattpad too *
Today it dawned on me that not only am I marinating in my depression yet again, I've let it affect my writing too. Dangerous- writing is supposed to be one of my escapes from life. It's so easy to get dragged down, isn't it? And as a writer, there will always be thoughts of whether people like what I'm writing, if I'm writing too little, what word count is too much or too little... Those small details that aren't even all that important.
More than anything, I want to write to escape this world, and it's really cool that people out there come along for the ride. I'm constantly thinking about escaping reality by writing except I don't really write. * booing from the audience *
Anyway, I think I'm rambling. My Patreon looks dead (tbh I thought it was dead) but as it turns out, people DO read whatever I put here, it's just not obvious unless I check the impressions... Which I didn't know existed until today, so that's on me. I really like attention and getting feedback on my stories but if that's all I write for, what sort of writer am I?
I should be writing feverishly on my couch even if I'm the only one who will ever read it!
That said, I'm not going to let depression feed on my love for writing, and I will write more instead of just daydreaming, starting today. Patreon is going to become THE place for my stories, especially the longer ones and darker ones I dare not post on Wattpad.
(For the readers on Wattpad, yeah I don't want to get my account deleted, haha. But I have a question, do you prefer reading short stories around about 1k words, or longer works like 2k+ words?)
A list to remind myself, since I tend to forget my own promises, eep:
* Write more (no matter how long or short)
* Edit and upload all my old stories to Patreon (basically all the ones Wattpad blacklisted 😯)
* Post art related to my stories (this will also be on Patreon but free, complete with descriptions for the art)
* Sort shit out properly
New year, more writing!
