Whether it be fanfiction, original stories, drabbles, songs, poems, books, or anything that has to do with creative words, then reblog. Let’s gather all the writers of Tumblr together.
do you ever completely zone out and start fantasizing about cute little scenarios involving you and your fav that have absolutely no chance of happening and then you snap out of it and realize how much of a giant fucking loser you are
NOPE. I write them down and call it “fan fiction.”
The year is 2042. Your daughter is awkwardly silent as she eats her dinner. “Something wrong sweetie?” She sighs and puts down her fork. “I was digging really deep in AO3 last night…Why didn’t you finish that coffee shop au?” It happened. Your past has come back to haunt you. Nay, it never truly left.
U CANNOT OUTRUN UR CRIME
OKAY BUT WAIT. This has happened to me. Recently. Because I am old and I have things out there from previous fandoms with previous pseuds and one day my teenager begins a rant at me about people never finishing any WIPs on the pit of voles (which he does not call the pit of voles because he has No Knowledge of such a thing but yet he still reads on which I didn’t think anyone did any longer) and he points out an example to me of something I WROTE AND LEFT WIPing for ages and he has NO IDEA #1 that his mom wrote this and #2 How much it still haunts me to this day that it will. sit. there. for. eternity. because I am too lazy to pull it down.
Someone out there is waiting for your new stories.
Someone out there is reading your stories to get through a rough day.
Someone out there is recommending your fanfics to others with glee.
Someone out there is appreciating all the hard work you put into your stories.
Your writing is important.
Your fanfiction is important.
Never think your content doesn’t matter to a fandom, because your content might just be the only thing that makes someone else feel like they’re not alone when it comes to shipping certain characters together.
Please keep writing.
Please keep writing… IF YOU ARE ENJOYING IT.
Please keep writing after you’ve taken care of yourself.
The people out there are waiting PATIENTLY because they understand that you have a life.
The important ones care that you’re happy and healthy FIRST.
The document is ready for you to fill when you are ready.
Your mental health is important.
You are also important.
Reblogging for a.) an excellent starting message and b.) a truly excellent addition
I just love her. She’s entertaining and motivating and British and I love her. I watch this whenever I’m feeling low about my works and when I have writer’s block and I thank her for giving me personal motivation for doing what I love. She’s brilliant. Just watch this cute woman tell you how to get published. Because it’ll make you smile and laugh and feel good you’re doing what she is.
