When you leave comments like this:

here’s what I see:

“I don’t actually appreciate the work you put into writing this fic. I don’t think about the time, the care, the love, the effort it takes to write something this intensive. Just drop everything you’re doing to give me, specifically, more, more, more.”

There is no next part, commenter. This is part 6, the final installment of a multichapter fic I’ve been working on for 3 years, with many other fics that branch off of this concept. This is the hardest I’ve worked on any story in my entire 30-some years of writing. I love it with all my heart.

Now, I don’t actually believe you intend these comments to come off this way. You don’t mean to discourage me, or to leave a sour taste in my mouth, or to make me consider ending everything I’m currently working on and deleting this blog forever.

So, let me help you. In the future, when you comment on a writer’s work, try this instead:

“I loved this! I particularly liked (insert favorite part here). This made me feel (insert emotions here). Thank you so much for blessing my dash with this masterpiece. I would love to see more of these characters.”

This is so much more constructive. I’ve received comments like this before and, let me tell you, I got to work on that next chapter almost immediately (even if I hadn’t originally planned to write one).

On that note, thank you to the people who have stuck with me this long, who leave amazing comments, who reblog, who keysmash in the tags. You encourage me and make this all worth it ❤️

#writing problems #sights speaks #i’m salty #I’ve gotten like 5 of these same type of comments in the past few weeks and it makes me lose all motivation every time #also #read the rules #check the Masterlist before commenting #this will save your favorite writers so much sanity #patience is a virtue #art is love #anyway #back to bloodfest

I love being a creative

I love drawing on paper, I love drawing digitally, I love painting, I love embroidering and making patches, I love doing fashion, I love writing stories, I love making music, I love listening to songs and creating entire scenes in my head, I love making jewelry, I love animating, I love editing videos, I love creating something out of nothing and expressing myself and sharing that love with others, and no amount of robots, algorithms, or procedurally generated bs is ever gonna top my love of creating

#True art can never be replicated and sanitized to become 'perfect' because art starts with giving a piece from our hearts and minds #Art is happiness art is sadness art is pain art is triumph art is expression art is emotion art is community #And at the end of it all #Art is love #And I love art #untagged
