Of mean comments, unsubscribing, and being an author as a whole

Hey guys :) So.. things've been really really slow for me, my last exam is today and all I've been doing is trying to understand why hanjas are important (no but seriously it's a pain to learn them when your hand hates working together with your brain and your eyes decide that it's a good time to get infected..again. Anyway. I am posting this because I particularly feel guilty. I..I've been ignoring my older stories, yea. Even the ones that I used to love. Especially this summer. Some of you already know that I went through crap worrying for my family and losing my laptop (MY BABY) because of a virus, so while it was amazing as hell, I didn't always have the time and energy to write. Shocking I know, but I'm not only the writer Katakatica, but the person, too. Yea, sometimes I don't update for ages and that must be frustrating but isn't it understandable? I always have a lot of ideas and can't write them ALL together, but I do try. just... life doesn't only consist of getting up, writing, going back to sleep. I've been going out frequently this semester, to get a drink or a coffee or even to just get a fancy burger instead of burger king. Because of that, I admit I don't have THAT much time for aff and some of my stories will be slower..

tbh the reason to why I don't update old stuff  is not because I forget them, but because I'm often scared of the reactions. It's not easy to juggle so many and at times I screw up OR simply do something the majority of my readers won't get. This happened to an older story of mine. I promised to write the last chapter ASAP btu then life crashed on me (preeety sure I don't have to explain all that happens). So, someone ANNOUNCED to me that they are not reading further because they are disapopointed and my first reaction was 'where should I crap' (= why should I care, we use it like this in hungary).  I mean yea it made me sad but I'm so immune to these things already. Like at first it ade me sob now here I am shaking my head. about 20-30 people unsubbed from the fic and I can't just go search for everyone and ask for their reason. Usually, I care about what people say but when it comes to me writing a chapter at midnight, 10 hours before my big korean exam, I seriously don't have the energy to care. If the commenter is reading this: I AM NOT ANGRY AT YOU, OKAY? We all have different opinions. and manners. I also do not want anyone to search up the comment lol. Like..seriously guys, the story is old and and i kinda agree that the last few things could be confusing (to me thy aren't, tbh it's reaaaallly easy to explain but yea). I just never had the time to write the last chap down in one big piece since well..life is not easy on me, 

tbh I wouldn'tz be writing this if I wasn't procastrinating with it

need to learn 2ü183ö32 hanjas :/

Anyway, back to the point of the blog. Sometmes it's better not to express your anger at an author :) sure it was funny to read it and im pretty sure the commenter isn't as angry as they seem (me and Fanni or Rachel or even Ichy communicate with curse words often, too so... yea im not an angel what a surprise right?). I just wanted to write my response to it...

 

okay honestly I was just trying to NOT think of school -.- 

Anyway, I'm fine this week just... TIRED. Need to go and study but after that, will be making posters....

AND. 

AND.

WRITE

SO. MUCH

just...

lemme pass this piece of poo-

Ah. True...
You know, I feel like some others don't get that outside of cyberspace, the best authors have busy lives....

Good luck on the exam!

"I'm not only the writer Katakatica, but the person, too."

^THIS. I feel like so many readers have a hard time seeing past the username... and it's rather upsetting. Because you're right - not all authors write from the moment they wake up until they go to sleep. We all have our lives outside of writing; we're all real people who have feelings. I don't think people realize sometimes how much a comment can affect the author (not just the bad comments, but the good ones as well). It's great to hear that you're taking the time to treat yourself - even if it is just a cup of coffee or a burger. Keep doing what makes you happy :) Oh, and good luck on your exam!

You write for you, not for them. They should feel lucky that you're sharing your work with them in the first place. That's how I feel about my writing lol

Though I write for a different fandom that generally has a bit of a different character from the fandom you write for... So I tend to get very different kinds of comments and feedback on my stories compared to what I typically see you getting on your stories.
