ngl getting comments on fic is like hmmm maybe I should give this whole writing thing a try again....

#look I know I know I know 'comment on fic!!!' is a sentiment repeated often and enthusiastically but like #I don't think ppl who *don't* write really get how exhausting the writing process can be #like yes it's fun it's my hobby I love it #but like any hobby it can be an actual lot of work #kinda like any hobby. even plahing an instrument or drawing even just for fun takes *work* esp if you want to be any *good* #writing takes work. lots of time and effort. and the editing. my god. #if you want more fic to read you need to express even basic gratitude to the ppl writing it #I've gotten a few comments over the last few days and it's like aw... man.... I *do* really miss this #I still don't know if I've got any more fics in me. I am still struggling with feeling like I don't know how to do this anymore #or that I have already told the same story 45 times so why tell it again #but.... #knowing ppl *have* enjoyed what I was able to write before? that's fckn incredible #erin explains it all
