#i'm pretty sure we had couple assignments where we were supposed to already write non-fiction

I wasn't going to post anything abt this at first, but I've been writing a fanfic the past few days for the first time in like over ten years, and I'm just so weirded out by the fact that... I'm actually enjoying writing something? I feel like I've been so burnt out by having to constantly write non-fictive essays and reports for school that I seriously don't know when I've last felt like I've enjoyed writing anything.

And then out of nowhere basically I've now been possessed by a fanfic idea. I have over 5k words written for it, but it's just the first raw version and I don't think I'm even halfway through the story.

#posting #i still remember when in late elementary school we started moving from writing fiction to writing non-fiction #i'm pretty sure we had couple assignments where we were supposed to already write non-fiction #but then there was me being a stubborn idiot and turning those assignments into fictive stories as well lmao #i think i got pretty decent grades for them anyways #but at some point i finally realised that we were expected to move on from writing stories t_t #back then i still thought i wanted to write books one day #but i truly feel that school sucked all of that excitement for writing out of me #because since middle school at least i don't think we have ever had any writing assignments where you could write fiction #it's always been essays or reports or analysis or something #to a point where i literally had a formula in high school that i used to write literally every single assignment we got #it was so boring and non-creative #but it worked really well so *shrugs*
