Dollhouse + How I learned to write better

So, for almost a year now I haven't written or published any stories on aff. Not that I stopped writing, although I have had writers block for about a month now, but I was working on more of my original work with original characters. Over the year I have improved my writing so much more and understood what a character actually is. I learned how to give my character a true personality, since I wasn't writing fanfiction so I had to learn how to create my own person without the base. I also learned to write for myself and not the views nor comments. To give myself critical feedback and focus on loving what I'm writing. I experimented with many different genres and although I never published any of my original character works on Wattpad, I am very proud of them. I think they are a million times better than my messy fanfictions that didn't ever make sense. Now I know how to make sense of my plot and build it up. I also started watching many shows(like Hannibal, Andi Mack, Riverdale, Series of Unfortunate Events etc) so I learned about a characters feelings from those too. 

Now, I officially think it's time for me to branch back to fanfictions. I think I'm ready to MAKE SENSE in my fanfictions. I don't wanna rush thing and create a beautiful fanfiction that I am proud of and not embarrassed to update(which is legit what happens with all my fanfics). I wanna write for the joy of writing and not the praise. So, I have started this with a story I left off last March called Dollhouse. It's a TFBOYS fanfiction. That reason I want to continue with that one is because the writing style suits what I was writing when I was on my break. That story seems complicated, but it doesn't have many characters so that I will be able to focus on my characters personality and feelings. Surprisingly over the year I wrote a lot of high school au(I know, boring) so I'm really good at it. But I'm getting tired of it so I want to try something more free and out of sorts. The story I am continuing with is actually inspired off of one of my favorite movies, The Corpse Bride, by Tim Borton(I love his art so much). I think I'm ready for this and I want to make this happen and start off slow, not to rush myself. I also wanna focus on high school too but update very so often. Please be patient with me if you are my Nct reader. I have many good things and updates coming for you I promise. 

I now officially vow to not start a story until I complete all of my main ones. Someone please hold me back because this is a big thing for someone like me who loves different plots. I want to finish those works that I really admire of mine before I continue more. Thank you.

To start off my journey in this new writing form on aff I have revamped my story Dollhouse. Along with writing a lot I've also made so many new graphics and improved my graphic skills by a million. So here is my transformation(beware it's intense)

Old Graphic                                                                                                                               New Graphic

YEAAH I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE IS INTENSE.

But anyways please check the story out if you want to and just a big thank you if you read this.

You go gurl! Taking a nice break and figuring things out is part of every author's life. Even if you feel bad for not updating, it's better than posting something that was rushed. Your attitude is so mature and learned. Make sure you don't miss out being a kid. Have fun writing. And remember the three H's: Be healthy, happy, and honest. If you're not healthy, you can't function properly. If you're not happy, you'll write something you don't ever want to write. And if you're not honest, your work and life won't be honest either. If you're not honest, you could lose your health and happiness in an instant.
