Hiatus?

So um.. 

Hey there. 

You may already know this. 

I have been having those depression mood swings when it comes to writing,  i just feel bad regarding my works. 

 

Especially. After reading others' fics. 

 

 

And i found my self thinking. 

 

I know writing is not easy.. 

I know it takes time, patience and devotion. 

And now i guess its time to admit it was never my place. 

 

Most people who truly love writing 

Write for writing. 

Not for attention or comments. 

And it doesnt help i found myself deviating.. 

I feel im not writing for myself. 

I dont Know if it was like that from the start or what,  but im oddly  aware of it now. 

Thats what i lack i guess.

 

 

Recently,  i concluded i was just updating for the sake of updating.

bec i mostly wanna share it with my readers.

And i..  i dont know how to put it  .

I dont think i deserve this title if im not devoting myself for it. 

I dont think thats the point of writing. 

I shouldnt be writing just to satisfy you guys. 

I always hear writers saying how they love writing and how it is their escape. 

And im losing that   CRIES!!

Hey. I know how you feel. Tbh, i went through the same thing. I used to love writing a lot. I wrote for fun and even decided to try writing my own chaptered fic. But after awhile, my feelings turned and it felt like I was wroting because i was pressured to please my subscribers. It was overwhelming to me. It's like i was writing to just satisfy the readers needs to understand my story. That wasn't what I signed up for. Also, reading other author's fics and seeing them get recognise for sth they love makes me kinda envious. Not that I want to have all that attention. But that they can satisfy their readers because writing is what they love. What im trying to get with this point is that, you're not the only one. Many people has experienced this. Remember that aff is not your work place. It's for leisure and happiness. If you're feeling like you're writing just to satisfy, i suggest you stop. The time you take off from writing will actually help you. Cuz that's what's going on for me. I deleted my chaptered fic and now I just write when I feel like it. And I've never felt happier. You'll realise that even your writing will improve when you're writing because you enjoy it and not to please ppl. Dont push yourself okay :) HWAITING FRIEND

It is not just passion about that thing which makes a person do something , if you look hard and rethink im sure youll find a deeper reason to write

Don't think like that. Everyone has their own reason for writing fanfics. I do it for Kpop Fans especially for EXO-L and Angels, and also for fans and for myself. Sometimes I habe ideas, nobody has written about and I would linke to change that or for example other pairings, seldom pairings. Just think why you are writing. It's not a bad thing to update for the sake oft your readers. Because they subscribe and are willing to wait for your update no matter how long they have to wait.

Your reason for writing doesn't have to be the same as someone else's. If writing stresses you out and isn't enjoyable, then it's probably a good thing to take a break from. But if you enjoy it and you enjoy sharing it, then by all means continue!
How about this: baking is fun but isn't watching others enjoy your food even more fun?
