[acknowledgetheabsurd]

I went to bed yesterday in a bad mood; but against myself. I'd done nothing all afternoon but hang around my work table without ever getting into it. The evening came and my essay had still not progressed. Of course, I tell myself that this kind of work requires a lucidity and an intelligence that is both active and intact. But these are eternal excuses. The truth is that inertia triumphs when it comes to making a prolonged effort. And I felt that yesterday when I went to bed a little discouraged by myself.

Whatever your fate is, whatever the hell happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!

The struggle is real.

I can't decide if I want to reblog all of my writings and posts or upload them like new or just start completely over

Just.... *sigh* ....

why is it so hard to get financially independent? Why is it nearly impossible to get hired (esp. as a queer disabled person)? I feel like there’s no way out of this pit. I would literally make adult content but I live with my parents and can’t get away with it 😩

I’m feeling a bit discouraged at the moment. It seems like the more people that request to be tagged, the less engagement I actually get. Like take the Shovel Talks series as a good example of it. At the start tons of engagement and asking to be tagged. Lots of likes and reblogs too. For a grand total of 903 notes. But the more people that requested to be added to tag list as the story went on, the less likes and reblogs the parts got until the last part had only 309 notes. That’s a 2/3 drop.

What’s the point of adding you to the tag list if you aren’t going to reblog or even like it. Not getting comments is whatever, I have trouble commenting too. Now this isn’t shade against that dedicated following I have. I have a permanent tag list for a reason. They like or reblog everything I do. I get comments and tags saying how much they love my work and that I’m their favorite writer.

But I wonder if I should continue to tag outside my permanent list anymore. I mean I would continue to tag for WIP that already have a list, but for future stories, I might just limit it to people I know will actually engage. Because it is seriously disheartening to see some ask to be tagged and then I never see them like or reblog future posts of the story.

I don’t know. I’m just having a hard time right now. I’ve started a job that I already hate, I can’t get my cell phone to work, I can’t sleep at night, and my one joy of writing has diminished in just the last week because of this job and I hate it.

I've been feeling really bad about art lately. It just hasn't been very fun. I've been feeling very unfulfilled. I don't feel passionate about my characters like many others do. I get very short bursts of creativity and then I just...lose it.

Im just looking for advice. I don't know how to get myself excited about drawing again.

Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Sometimes I get really sad and there isn't much I can do about it.

This is one of those days.

change of plans.

I will not be doing the 12 Days of Ficmas this year.

I probably won't be very active for a little while.

I won't deactivate, but that doesn't mean I won't decide to leave this blog as an archive. Still thinking about things.

Respect content creators.

That's all.

Death of an idea

Hi everyone.

I'm just looking for some advice or feedback.

I had a story that I was really, really excited to write. I thought it would be challenging and help me to delve into a character who is healing and some serious character growth for many characters.

But, when I was talking about it to a friend, they made a comment which made me question everything about the story. In short, they are uncomfortable because I am torturing characters to make a ship work.

Their comment was valid and not malicious, but now I'm feeling so discouraged about the story that I don't want to try and write it anymore. It almost feels like I'm mourning the story.

Any advice on what to do or how to deal with it?
