It'd be nice if you give this a read. (:
Hello....probably haven't seen me in your notification box in a while.
If you don't remember me, I was under the username "1D_mockingjay," which is hopefully going to be the worst username I'll have for a while. I wrote fan-fiction such as "Jiall Imagines," "Late Last Night," etc. If you haven't noticed, I recently took them all offline.
I am older now and I was scrolling through each of the many chapters I posted and realized that I was not proud of my work anymore. Don't get me wrong, I still write. I have 3.9 GPA for English and am planning to take college classes for Journalism as a high school junior. Also, another reason I took them off is because a majority don't fit my writing style now if you're catching my drift. I'm still heavily involved in fandoms. I still love YouTubers, Artists, etc. But, my writing style has changed and for that reason, I've decided to slightly switch genres.
I want to create my own characters, my own story, my own plot lines, etc. In no way am I discrediting fan-fiction writers because damn do we work hard. Damn, do we sit on our laptops and type until the early hours of the morning. We work damn hard and feel accomplished when we press that "publish" button.
You see, that wasn't the case for me. The last few chapters and updates I did did not make me proud at all. I was constantly trying to update. It wasn't because I was creative, but because I felt like I owed it to readers.
I'm not going to say when I'll post because I simply don't think self-provided deadlines are beneficial (I just believe it adds extra and unnecessary pressure). So instead, i'm just going to say whenever.
Kindness Always,
McKenna.
