Small victories warm the soul.
They build together to make a greater impact- much like storytelling does.
Some, or all, of you might know that I've been having a hard time with writing. I don't know if it's Writer's Block or whatever but I've been so disinterested in writing my fanfics, and when I am interested it's like the words and motivation is immediately sucked out of me when I approach the draft.
This has been frustrating, yet somehow I've been okay with it.
I started reading more as a result and rediscovered passion. My friend has this bomb fic that's actually a series that is so full of good writing- hm!- it's like a belly-full of good, home cooked food.
It really is good medicine, y'all, to read and read and read, especially when stuck. Because then you're out of your own head and away from your own writing and appreciating a different voice. By experiencing different styles, for some reason it refreshes you.
With that being said... I finished the draft for chapter.
I'm so excited.
Understand that this chapter was one of my most favorite chapters- when Bucky met Ruth. It's so soft and sweet with a little spice to it. I think the rewrite is even better but I'm also tired.
I just... it feels so good.
I guess this isn't so much of a rant as much as it is encouraging you to spot the small victories and let them build on too of each other. One day you'll see the end product of that.
Amber out. 😪
