My Own Share of Problems as an Author

Some of the people scrolling through the seulrene tag must know me for being that person who posts multiple drafts / descriptions and forewords of story ideas and stuff, then will be updating it the next week or after a few days.

The truth is, I'm actually having a hard time trying to fill in the plot and the real story itself. I'm not a great author, and that's probably one of the reasons I seldom make chaptered fanfics because I don't know how to end or how to write the story itself (that's why I'm having a hard time updating my ongoing Hajung [EXID] fics, and that chaptered seulrene fic I started). I'm just good at imagining scenarios and making prompts.

Now, the real problem is, that I'm currently not satisfied with my works, since I find all of them ty I'm actually about to cry because they're all so ugly I'm gonna dump them.

It's actually discouraging on my part, since I don't know if I'll still be able to keep my reader's interest. Guess having ty feelings makes an author / artist's works ty as well. Because I quote, "you are what you make."

But! This terrible problem of mine wont stop me ever from thinking more (and posting more) of my ideas. This is kinda just an explanation on why I'm so slow in updating / posting my work. I'm not lazy, goddamnit!

As peace offerings, I tried making TWO sad seulrene one shots (and take note, angst is not even my forte omg can't even stand reading let alone writing one.) Yes, it's ty, I know, since I've just started to write things like this but anyway, since I'm really shameless, I'm gonna give myself a promo:

'Tis the Season

Winter Blues

hehehe.

the more you write, the more it your brain works like a well oiled machine. and don't say it's crap. if it has a story, it isn't crap. it may not have the big feel you need but you made something out of just an idea. write more and it's going to help you be better. like leonhearrrto says, i'm here to help too. :)

I wrote a comment and it got posted before I finished.

anyway, if you ever need help with something you can always count on me bb, also I haven't had any time to read your stories and it makes me feel bad lol.
is normal to feel discouraged sometimes like watching what you wrote and think 'wow this is crap' lol what I find it helps is to stand back for a couple of days and watch it with fresh eyes.
the most important thing is to keep on witting :) and again if you feel like talking to someone about it, ask for help, whatever you want, you can count on me.

P.S you are full of great ideas and your fics are always good don't be so hard on yourself.
