Through the holidays I have had time to think to myself and reevaluate my choices, Especially those regarding my book, TOS. I have come to realise that my books being focused on a single main character and BTS being the love interests is not okay. Writing about the boys, fantasying about them, it’s all not okay, and quite frankly has been messing with my mental health quite a lot.
It may seem okay to some, to daydream about them, to create unrealistic standards because of them, but really the truth is that it’s unhealthy. It’s not something people should be doing. Because it’s fun at first but then you start comparing your fantasies to your reality, you start nit-picking the tiny details, you try to change the people around you to fit your idea of a perfect reality.
I realise this. I realise that my life is not perfect and it never will be and if I’m constantly trying to make it fit into the shape of my ideal world, I will fail. And along the way people will leave because I have set the bar so high, that they will get tired of trying to reach it.
So though my decision isn’t final and I’m still thinking it through, I would like to edit my book TOS and change it so it is no longer a BTS ff. I will add my own love interests, three of them to be precise. The book will continue as an original after that.
But my respect for the boys are too high to completely violate their image in my books.
I would still like to have time to think about my decision before I Actually edit TOS, so if you have any advice, if you disagree with my choice, if you have ANYTHING you wish to tell me before I go ahead with my final decision, please do.
