I'm saving up for a rainy day...

I'm feeling pretty good about writing right now. I've actually made some progress lately and the muse seems to be pretty congenial at the moment. However, I'm doing this meme so that when the dark days come (and they will come) and I think that I can't write worth anything and that I'll never finish anything ever again, I'll be able to visit this thread and be reminded that hey! You like me! You really like me! I have pathologically low self-esteem, people. Humor me, and I'll return the favor.

THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME


Go forth and do likewise.

I answered it on the meme thread - I hope that worked. :)

Ha! Yeah, that's where it's supposed to go! I really appreciate it!

I totally wanted to do this, and then I remembered the part where I NEVER POST anything that I write. I should fix that.

It's true! Which is a real shame, because anything you write would be AWESOME. Trufax.

I think it's because part of my brain has always, for some backward reason, operated on the (il)logic that everybody on my flist writes fic as in fanfiction, and I only write cracky original fic, ergo I am not cool enough and nobody would be interested. Which I know is totally silly! Because while original fic is very rare, it does pop up from time to time on my flist, and it's awesome! And mean to post things, and then...I never do.

Also I have this irritating thing where I am not bereft of ideas or writers' blocked at all, but every time I try to write lately I become DISCOURAGED because it isn't PERFECT. *ridiculous*

Yeah, I get that. I'm definitely not going to post my novel online, but even if I wrote shorter works, I'm not sure I would, either. It's just not the done thing. However. Should you ever be interested in doing so, I would LOVELOVELOVe to read your stuff, as I know it is as awesome as you yourself are.
