In my head, Delilah has a talent for playing the piano — which she was taught during the war because she remembered Tommy saying he wished he had learnt to play the piano as a child.

✸ hello!
          
          I hope you are well. I realise you may not read my message, but in case you do, I would like to ask for your permission and authorisation to translate your story One of the Girls into Spanish.
          
          Your writing has truly captivated me, and I believe Spanish-speaking readers would love your work.
          
          Of course, I would give you full credit as the original author. (If you have any questions about how I give credit, you can check my profile)
          
          I completely understand if you prefer to keep your work in its original language, and I respect whatever decision you make. 
          
          If you have any questions or would like to discuss any particular terms or conditions, I would be happy to talk to you about it.
          
          Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my request and thank you for creating such a wonderful story!
          
          Have a lovely day!

i’m about to rant for a second 
          
          do any other writers ever just sit and convince themselves that you absolutely hate your fics?? because that’s the case with me toward my earlier writing (specifically: Found, Cracking, Overlooked, Do I Wanna Know, Getaway Car and kind of Devils Daughter) so practically half of my work I think. It’s all so terribly written, it’s choppy and their plots just feel so unplanned and I think this is why i’ve avoided coming on here these past few months.
          
          I also think I have put myself in a situation where i’ve put too much on my plate by publishing multiple ideas at once due to excitement and then feeling a pressure that I have to update sooner rather than later.
          
          also the pressure of caring so much about what other writers think, especially the ones with a bigger following. 
          
          In my opinion, Army Dreamers and After Midnight — specifically After Midnight, have so much potential (for me as the writer) and I hate that i’ve stepped away from it all and lost this motivation. I mourn how much i used to be able to write. And with Please Don’t Go, that too has potential but again Im too scared of offending people or getting things wrong and ruining it all because never has it been my intention to do either. 
          
          I sit and wonder how the readers that read my earlier works (whom i appriciate so very dearly and i love you all) can actually sit through them and enjoy reading them. I wanna so desperately begin rewriting my older works because I know I can do better and they could be so much better if I gave them the time. ALSO why did nobody point out how much of a Mary Sue that Maeve is in Devils Daughter??? 
          
          Do any other writers get like this???

Does anyone else ever get a wave of anxiety that makes your heart race and make it feel like your head is spinning?

Without a doubt yes. Often. Especially when I’m out of my house
