It's Tough writing Fanfics
Just needed somewhere to just speak my mind...
I think people need to understand that words sometimes can hurt more than actions. It's not easy being a fanfic writer when sometimes you get those kind of comments that really knock you down and then you lose all motivation to continue writing again.
I AM ONLY HUMAN. I HAVE FEELINGS TOO. Do you know how hard it is to write so much? Do you know the sacrifices I make to ensure that I write something so that my readers won't be disappointed that I didn't update the story? I DON'T WRITE BECAUSE I HAVE TO (TO PLEASE THOSE READERS WHO CONSTANTLY DEMAND FOR ME TO UPDATE), I WRITE BECAUSE I WANT TO (BECAUSE IT'S AN OUTLET FOR ME TO JUST RELAX FROM MY FULL-TIME JOB AND ALSO TO SHARE MY LOVE FOR MY OTPs).
When a writer loses a subscriber, or when we see a comment that isn't so nice, do you know how demoralising it gets? No wonder we are losing so many great writers. If you don't like how I have written the story, just stop reading then. Do you have to come in like a wrecking ball and chip away at what little self-confidence I have left?
ARGHHHHH STRESSEDDDDDD. I am this close to putting all my stories in draft mode or even deleting them, but I am still holding it in.
Sorry, rant over. I apologize.
