It always sucks when a writing client falls through. Not because of the lost potential profit, but because a lot of the time, its because they're looking for someone to do it free of charge. Expecting a stranger to volunteer their time and skills, which leads straight down to being-taken-advantage-of blvd. People put little to no value on writers, no matter what industry they're working in. Especially, now that so many people will use AI, just so they don't have to pay for a writer.  And even then, writers that do get paid are  underpaid, uncredited, overworked. That isn't new. Even the Hollywood writer's strike wasn't enough to make things change, not really. And that's what really sucks.

I have a serious problem with doubting my work, no matter what other people say about it. It's really bad. It's the reason why I'm not a published writer already. I've had so many works on wattpad that are lost to oblivion. From now on, my goal is to keep myself from scrapping any project. If I have the idea in my mind, I need to turn it into something. That's the only way I'm ever going to get better.

Y'all, I've been completely obsessed with the band Of Monsters and Men. Their songs give me serious inspiration. I mean, I never get writer's block so inspiration is never a problem haha. Seriously. I've never had writer's block. I could use it though, I have way too many stories that have been cooking in my brain for years.
