The hardest part about writing again has been my inner critic. I reached such great success with Sweetheart, so it’s kind of scary writing something new and worrying it wont be as good. I second guess everything a write, constantly compare myself to other writers in The Pitt fandom, and am pretty much constantly thinking “did I fall off?” And maybe I did, but I started writing because I enjoyed it, not because I wanted to become someone in the fanfic community. I’m also trying to remind myself that Sweetheart didn’t really pop off until after the fic was finished, so many people don’t read ongoing fics and I get why (ao3 curse).
Despite it all, I feel like I’ve fallen back in love with a part of myself that was lost for a while. I’m going to keep writing for me, even if other people don’t like it.
Because I like it ☺️
