- I posted my first fic on that writing blog I made.
I may have had a small moment of panic while hitting 'post' but I did it! :D
Now to see where this all goes. o-o

Now to see where this all goes. o-o
- @Kory: Idk, I'm still wracked with anxiety over it. lmao
We'll see how I feel after I get a note that's not just me reblogging it to my main blog. XD
- @Totalanimefan: Now I just gotta figure out how to handle it. XD
I spent so much time creating it that now it's up and I'm like "alright cool.... What now?"
- @Totalanimefan: I shall try.
A friend of a friend also has a writing blog there and we've struck up a conversation about the fact that neither of us has any idea what we're doing. lol
So hopefully the solidarity will help.
@Anarchist Beauty: You're a great writer. Hopefully you feel more excited than panicked!
- @Totalanimefan: I NOTICED THE CURRENCY
I DEMAND ANSWERS
@Aly: MY LOVE
YOU RETURN TO US!!
Aww ty. c:
I'm hoping I get less panicky about it. lol
Anxiety needs to chill.
I post my work to ao3, tumblr ain't shit.

It's so nerve wracking.

Pure insanity.

@Anarchist Beauty: Gosh i feel you.
I often post my art on social media
but every now and then i still feel the panic of "oh gosh...do people like my stuff"
or "wait...what if someone i admire...actually likes it...."
and because of this post i remember i had old writing stories up on a site called inkitt
and forgot to take them down but apparently in this year 18 people read it XDD
I am ashamed.
*quit writing and mostly just an artist now*

- @MoodyB: That panic hits you hard every time.
It never gets any easier.
Never heard of that place. o:
I used to use a site called Mibba for years before I found ao3.
And then I became a strictly ao3 person, and now I'm going to attempt that tumblr life, too.
Minimal hits is what hurts me. lol
The first fic I posted to my tumblr was a fic I already posted on ao3 months ago, but didn't get as many hits as I would have liked.
It only had 39 and I'm hoping that by posting it to tumblr with the ao3 link as well, their forces will combine and make me happy. lol
Arts is hard.
I wish I could do the arts.
I can barely write. lol

@Anarchist Beauty: for real. And especially when some people online
can be very harsh or want to give critiques but without asking.
Some people don't mind criticism. But i usually don't just because I know
there is a lot i need to work on XDD
I don't think inkitt is very popular.
i just liked the layout but now i am rethinking my life choices realizing
people read it this year when i uploaded it back in 2017.
I was terrible at writing.
But i am slightly better at drawing. But I also can barely draw. lol.
So i ended up buying some books to help me out.
My art i have not been happy or proud of lately
So maybe after i study on them i'll feel better.

- @MoodyB: I like actually constructive criticism.
I don't like people who are just like "well I didn't like it, so it's bad."
Like what was bad about it?
What didn't you like?
How is a bitch supposed to improve if you offer NOTHING but salt?
Hey, late hits are better than nothing. lol
Art friends need writing friends.
And vice versa. lol
Makes the world go round.

@Anarchist Beauty: that is also true.
If you don't voice what you didn't like how will the person who created/written it know what to improve on.
I think i mean when you get constructive criticism when not asked.
Like a lot of times with art people will see a piece, and there is nothing wrong with it
and just receive criticism that makes...no sense.
I remember this one time i did receive criticism because the knees were not perfectly round.
and knees aren't...perfectly round to begin with XD so i found that odd lol
that's more so a stylistic choice.
so true. tho my ex boyfriend was someone who made my passion for writing pretty much disintegrated.
so I don't even know when or if i'd write again.
Back in 2017 and before then I use to write a lot but now i kinda lost that passion from just
an overall bad relationship and one bad experience after another with it.

- @MoodyB: In my personal opinion, I think posting anything you create in a public space is asking for criticisms.
Like no matter what people are going to have something to say about anything and everything ever created and while I think people need to be better at learning how to actually critique things, I also think content creators need to calm the fuck down when they do get criticisms.
If I see one more fic author turn into a total psycho because "I didn't ask for your commentary" I'm gonna lose it cos like, yeah, you did ask the second you agreed to post your content on a public platform.
The most random critique ever.
Bruh have you seen knees?
Weird ass things.
No symmetry to em.
They're lumpy and weird.
What a fuck noodle.
Imma beat him up.
Drop his addy.

@Anarchist Beauty: yeah true i definitely agree. some criticism of course you don't have to listen to as well.
But anytime some discourse is going around on twitter, just I dont like when some creators hate when people say what they drew looks like a character of a show
and then they say it doesn't.
but i think often times people are trying to connect with your work.
or so that's how i view it. I love it when people say my work reminds them of a character from a show, game, etc.
Cause then they can connect with my work or the artist themselves.
Tho if someone said "hey the head is slightly off" i definitely take note to that
since anatomy is definitely very hard. so i always want to improve.
tho some needs to be taken with a grain of salt as it can just be a personal or style preferences. XD
tho i remember someone back when i RPed said i used "was" too often LOL.
and i still kinda do even in my casual convos lol i cannot let go of using Was.
LOL yeah it was odd. I was like "okay??" XDD but was probably just a personal preference of the person.
Hahahaha. it's all good.
it was years ago and it wasn't at all a hard breakup for me and i was not even heart broken spliting with him since
he pretty much made me feel like i was abnormal.
like i am a very passionate person. and sometimes get very deep in stuff like fandoms or shows
and made me feel like i was...obsessed. when i was not at all.
so that relationship was so easy to drop.
tho writing became so hard to do or continue.
but i may return one day since i've been making really fun OCs and might write about them if i can get myself to draw
their character sheets lol

- @MoodyB: People get too protective of their works sometimes.
Overusing words, I feel like I'm having that problem lately.
I feel like I use the word 'though' too often in my fics.
And I definitely over use 'like' in most conversations.
That's dumb, good on ya for being rid of him.
I relate to that though, I get consumed my things and people sometimes.
Case and point being I've been watching movies and things lately specifically because of the actors in them.
Sebastian Stan is the reason I finally watched The Martian, and he's part of why I watched The Devil All the Time. And I'm definitely watching the new shit he's gonna be in, like The 355, Pam & Tommy, and Sharper.
Daniel Bruhl is responsible for getting me to watch Rush and The Alienist.
Chris Evans is the reason I watched Snowpiercer and am interested in watching Defending Jacob.
I'm a weak woman when it comes to pretty men. XD
OC's are fun as hell.
I love all my idiots. XD
@Anarchist beauty: that's wonderful! congratulations on doing it. i know it feels vulnerable doing it but i always appreciate more art put out into the world and i hope for others to appreciate it too 
what platform did you and your friend make the writing blog on? i've been wanting to make a blog, maybe more tarot focused than writing focused, and i've been unsure about what platform to do it on.

- @Ruby: Wow Karen, that was a surprisingly encouraging comment!
I knew there was a sliver of decency in there.
@Whimsy: I just use tumblr. lol
It's the easiest.
And all that theme code editing and such reminds me of the good old MySpace days. XD
@Wildfire: Thank-you! :D
