Addicted to Writing Fanfiction...?
I think I have a serious addiction to writing fanficion... Seriously...besides for the current chaptered fic I am posting and the bonus chapter for a oneshot sequel I will be posting...I have so much I am working on @_@ A seperate long chaptered fic is in the process of being written, and I have another shot chaptered fic (the wrough draft at least) all done.
Besides from that I have the outline for 7 oneshots written down in my idea book, and another short chaptered fic as well. Not to mention I am brainstorming for another oneshot that I would like to do. Seriously...this is an addiction! I even told my beta during the week that it was a bad idea introducing me to AFF because when I am not working...I am either reading fanfics, writing down ideas, editing my fics, or working on another fic.
A lot of people might see this as a good thing because I have so many ideas and I am able to have so much content to write. But when I am at work...and all of the sudden my brain goes, "Omg...so I have _____ pairing for you, and this is what is going to happen. But if you don't wirte it down or text the idea to yourself RIGHT NOW...it's going away" it gets frustrating really fast. Most of the time I cannot stop what I am doing and quickly text myself an idea so I am using post-it notes and writting it down and sticking it into my planner for when I get home. Or I will notice I have spent 20 minutes staring at my computer screen at work contemplating how I want someones character to be (yes I have done this...and yes coworkers notice when you stare at a computer screen with a very siously look on your face while tapping your pen against your desk and lightly mumbling to yourself).
Do not get me wrong...I love having these ideas that I will be able to share with the AFF community but...seriously...I have just started posting a chaptered fic, have a seperate chaptered fic I am currently writing, and now all of these ideas. You can see how it becomes a bit overwhelming with when will I have time to write them all and edit them, and how will I set a schedule for myself when it comes time to posting. (If you do not follow me closely you should know that I ALWAYS have a schedule for when I post my fics and I like to let people know that schedule...I am that kind of person...things must be planned out...MUST!)
Not to mention my beta (oh so very thankful for her, I do not know what I would do without her) who has been editing one (or two) chapters weekly for me for going on three years come September (I cannot believe it has been that long already...). Each week I have given her something to look over, whether it was a chapter or a forward/description...anything, not to mention I bounce ideas off of her from time to time (like I am doing currently with the oneshot I am thinking of doing). I just do not give her any breaks...sorry my lovely beta! ^3^
But yeah...if this does not sound like I have a sssllliiigggghhhhtttt addiction to writing fanfiction...I do not know what does. I am glad that I found (or my beta found for me) an outlet for all my creative ideas, because I have seriously been writing since I was six. I will continue on with my addiction though because people seem to enjoy what I write and that makes me happy. If only I could make a career out of this...that would be amazing! *_*
Or if I could find a way to be less stressed out about everything I am doing on this site...because sometimes staying up till early hours in the morning because something is not to my liking...does not fly when you have to get up early for work. Either does waking up inthe middle of the night because you thought of something that needs to happen in one of the fics so you have to go write it down at that instant.
I could keep rambling about this for many more paragraphs so I should stop now...this is not even an important blog post...I just needed to spaz a little...so...yeah...that is all...
Peace out! <3
