should i stop writing on wp?
because i started all my fics almost a year ago and there was HUGE gap left by school. priorities changed. i feel like i have problems committing to writing a long whole book.
like, i had such great ideas for panacea, but i didn't plan our the plot in detail. like, i knew important stuff but not everything, or how i was gonna progress with the story. i had great ideas at the beginning, when i started writing it, which was over a year ago. now i feel like it's a chore to write, and i don't feel as dedicated to writing panacea as i used to.
truth be told, i am immensely attached to the characters, and i am already panicking at the prospect of leaving the story behind, but i really don't know what to do.
the next two years are crucial in my academic life, and i have no idea if i'd be able to devote as much time as i could before. and panacea was intended to be 50 chapters long. just thinking about it makes me nervous now.
winter bear was always a lost cause. but i think i wrote it when i was at my best. i was not insecure, i planned the plot well though i was just winging it, and wrote up to 28 or so chapters, which i can't even imagine doing now. earlier, i could see the characters in panacea as just characters, but now, i don't get that vibe while writing. i think too much, and i want to stop, but i'm scared to stop.
a part of me keeps telling me to stop, because no one reads what i write so it shouldn't be a problem if i stop.
but, no. i started writing because i LOVED doing it, not only for people to read. it feels like i'm letting the younger me down by stopping something she was so passionate about. it feels cruel.
i have the book i used to write panacea's chapters in front of me, and i wonder how i used to write that. it's not something i can achieve now. i have no idea what to do.
i am on ao3 now, and i write oneshot fics now, and i think that's better for me. but i feel guilty.
so, should i stop writing on wp?
