burned out but still posting
a little state-of-the-author blog post
i was thinking i'd write something in depth on dreamwidth and then cross-post, but at the moment i don't have anything profound to say
a couple weeks ago i realized i was burned out and probably had been for a while. possibly months. writing has been hard except for short bursts, and i realized i often sit down to write without any desire to write
it makes me sad
i'm hoping that this will end sooner rather than later. i kind of had a period like this last year (or so Keeper tells me) and i revised my plans going into events (like only doing ship-specific exchanges and doing ships i love for FFC). this is also how i fell in love with QuiAni as a ship which is, apparently, the only thing i still occasionally have drive to write and think about ♡ I'm very grateful for this
however, i have an insane amount of mostly finished and unposted fic. so i'll still be posting. i'd also love to keep talking, so if you see this because you're wondering what's up with a certain series or fandom... this is up: i'm burned out and writing anyway wasn't doing me favors
i have about 500k of unposted stuff and about 100k is either publishable right now or very nearly so...
so you'll still be seeing updates
if you want to be notified when something gets published, the 'subscribe' button on my ao3 will send you an email whenever I post a fic, but you can also subscribe to a specific fic or series. i don't get that info, it's anonymous ♡
you can also check out my fic log for snippets, updates, and some writing-related ask replies → @dreaminghour-archive. if you wanted to turn on notifications there you'd find out pretty soon after something gets updated
i'm also open for asks (anon is on). i appreciate kind words but talking to me about my stories or AUs, telling me what you're writing and thinking about, asking me for recs or my thoughts about anything is always welcome ( ＾◡＾)っ ♡
