ANNOUNCEMENT:
Recently, Iāve been having lots of good ideas but I canāt see myself writing them, not into fanfics at least. I still donāt know if I want them to turn into short or long stories, poetry or novels, but what I do know is that Iāll get to them one day even if Iām not sure about posting them.
I love fanfiction, but I donāt think writing it brings me joy anymore, not as much as it did a couple of months ago. It has become a kind of weight on my shoulders and instead of helping me with my mental health, like it did for some time, it no longer has that āeffectā on me. My anxiety over likes, comments and general validation worsened and I want to stop before it ruins writing and the liberation I feel whenever I do it. Iāve seen posts of other writers talking about how this feels like a job and I think Iām getting there. Thatās exactly what I want to stop. I know I have to work on these issues and I hope to do it soon.
Even though I havenāt had this blog for long, Iāve met incredible people, writers and not, that showed me a whole new place to express myself. Tumblr is not new to me (I joined with a different blog when I was 13 or 14), but this side of making friends on the internet and bonding over shared interests, is completely new and something I donāt regret.
Iām sorry for everyone waiting on the Greek Mythology series, I was so excited to write it. Maybe Iāll do it one day but not in the form of fanfiction.
I will continue to use this blog, so youāll still see me around making shitposts or reblogging or whatever I do. I also donāt want to lose contact with the people I met here. I donāt know if I want to delete my fics, but for now Iāll leave them on my blog.
I made a new blog, not a sideblog because you canāt do anything there, to post the new stuff I write if I ever decide to. You can follow me there: @thewords-of-muses.Ā
