Being an aromantic writer is frustrating because you want to show aromantic people but you know damn well people would misinterpret their relationships as romantic and ship them, ignoring the orientation of them for aromantics like you to finally get more recognised within in or out of the community. It really says something that I know I have to be explicitly clear that these characters are aromantic and I don't want them shipped for people to even slightly get the message across.

daily reminder that if you HAVE A PLOT IDEA, A PLOT TWIST THAT COMES IN THE FUTURE, DIALOGUE YOU WANT TO WRITE, or ANY SCENE, whether it be a LINE or ONE WORD, WRITE IT DOWN.

this is your sign to write and enter your book again, even if it's contributing a single word for your draft.

JUST DO IT, OKAY. ramble if you even have to. <3

(ps. let me know what you wrote hehe)

ao3 writers I love you and see you and I know it can be demoralizing when the fic you’ve worked so hard on doesn’t get nearly enough reception as you’d hoped. Whether that’s in the form of hits or kudos or bookmarks or comments. I know it’s frustrating, but just know… there’s often no rhyme or reason to it. no discernible algorithm at play here.

please remind yourself that low numbers are NOT an inherent reflection on the quality of your work. I’ve read incredible, downright masterful stories that have just a few kudos and a handful of bookmarks; and I’ve read extremely popular fics that I simply don’t vibe with. And everything in between. There are so many factors involved—how big the fandom is, how popular the ship is, what kind of tags are included, how other people filter and search for fics, etc. etc... the list TRULY goes on. all this to say, the stats absolutely shouldn't be the thing that keeps you from writing.

be kind to yourself. keep creating, if that's something you want to do and have the energy for. please don't get discouraged. your art matters and is worth so much more than you might think.

if you see this, I’d love for you to drop some of your favourite fics you’ve written in the comments or reblogs ♥️

#ao3 #writers on tumblr #my ramblings #writing #writer struggles #ao3 writers #fanfic writers #if you see this please drop the works you're proudest of <3 #or even wips or even ones you don't love that much!#share the love #fic recs #writing community #fic writers

Y/N rubs reassuring circles into Cairo’s back…

Y/N: I know. It was one rejection

Cairo: I can’t believe they didn’t want my novel

Y/N: luckily there are still several others on our list

Cairo: and if they say no?

Y/N: then I’ll just find a way to get your novels published myself.

Cairo: (giggles) what?

Y/N: yeah I’ll open up my own publishing company just to publish your works. Because I love you that much

Cairo: I love you too, you dork

For @iamnicodemus

I don't know who needs to hear this but:

It's totally cool to have a million ideas bouncing around in your head all at once. Seriously, you're not some kind of "problem child" for being a creative powerhouse. You don't need to "calm down", "tone it down" or "take it easy" just because you've got a ton of projects on the go.

So what if your mind feels like a chaotic tornado of inspiration ? Embrace it ! You're not "too much" or "overwhelming", you're exactly the right amount of awesome.

And to anyone who tries to rain on your parade with their negativity ? Tell 'em to take a hike ! You've got better things to do than listen to their boring old complaints.

So keep doing your thing, keep chasing those dreams, and never let anyone dull your sparkle. Your brain is beautiful, full of imagination and there is no way you should apologize for having all of those amazing ideas. You're a rockstar, and don't you forget it.✨

Sincerely, A Keeper of 372 Works in Progress 📚🐉

i think trying to fall back in love with your own writing hurts more than falling out of it - because you realize what you had and you're trying to get it back, but it's not coming together sometimes
