Sewing machines are like printers, they work perfectly fine until they start smelling your fear
#once they sense your uncertainty then you’re doom#it doesn’t matter for how long you’ve sewn for#as soon as the sewing machine starts to sense either your uncertainty or frustration it will use it against you#this I know and have seen many a time and have helped many a person work past it

Is there anyone who would be willing to try my really niche story and tell me if it makes sense/is enjoyable without knowing some of the source material that inspired the story?
I do have it posted in it's entirety here, but the link is broken for it in my list of stories, so you'd have to scroll and look for it. Otherwise I have the first of three chapters posted on AO3 and I intend to have the other two finished posting in ten days.
So if anyone is willing to give it a try, here's the link to the first chapter on AO3.
#basically I'm just trying to at least get some thoughts on my Twice in a Lifetime genderbent Hard Enough Left/Pixar Cars fic#I'm much too close to being objective about whether it actually needs more details for it to make sense or if it's fine as is#if even without knowing the source materials that the story can be followed relatively easy

The worst thing about writing something incredibly niche, is that there's so few people to enjoy it as much as you did when writing it.
#this is about my Pixar Cars fanfic which is loosely inspired by the show twice in a lifetime by the way#it's so incredibly niche AND I do myself no favours as it's also genderbent and based off of a different Cars fic#I mean personally I don't think you need any of the background information to enjoy it#I think that the story gives itself enough background information for it to make sense even if you might not get as attached to the people#in the story#but now I'm curious if anyone would be willing to give it a try and see if that's true

Just checking....
We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

Our door buzzer at work, that goes off anytime that the door opens, isn't working. Which is more annoying than the sound that it typically makes. (Which is obnoxious and loud.) But at least then people can't sneak in on us unaware.

#only on special occasions#I pretty much never wear makeup and never have#my mom is much the same way#so when you're used to makeup being worn very little that's the most common thing

I'm exhausted after work today. As soon as three o'clock hit, I noticed my head feeling a little achy, by the time four o'clock hit I was fading fast. Now I'm just done.
#my social battery has been worn down and that's why I'm tired#just a couple of people wore me down over the day

You know what? I was absolutely dreading a reread of my one old story and was pleasantly surprised by how it’s not as terrible as I thought it might be. It has it’s issues, but it’s got a lot of potential. Maybe one day I will go back and finish. Or at least try.

#this is how I feel after my one post yesterday#after venting after getting a couple of poor reviews accusing me of using AI#which I’ve never even touched previously#but got such lovely and encouraging words to counteract the bad#so this directly shows how I felt at the end of the day#very much loved

It's so funny when something has so thoroughly permeated pop culture that you don't even had to have watched the thing to understand certain references to it.

So I made a summery skirt this afternoon, that definitely helped keep me occupied from all of this.
I don't know how to express what I want to at the moment...
At least not how to start off. How I truly want is to say something like "shoot me now" or "kill me now". Neither of which is what I really mean. Though curling up in a dark hole and crying sounds good about now.
I'm just being overly sensitive and distressed about having received two comments on old stories that I recently cross posted to AO3 that essentially accuse me of using ChatGPT or whatever it is to write them. Since I've seen them, I've been dwelling on them. Which feels so ridiculous, but I am. I don't know if I should have, but I responded to both explaining that the one thing was written like 10 years ago and the other probably about 20 when I was a literal child.
I still might go in a delete the comments on them.
Times like these are when I wonder if I have the right mentality to ever try to get anything professionally published one day.
It definitely makes me not want to post the couple of stories I was uncertain about posting already.
And it's not like the comments are completely unwarranted. The stories are definitely not well written, because they're OLD and I didn't want to rewrite them.
And now I'm kind of regretting posting them at all.
#Honestly I am past the dwelling part now#and I have a new summer skirt which I've been wanting to make for a week or two already#look at the flora pattern!#it's mostly all done on the serger minus sewing down the back pleats to stay together#all that's left to do is to tack down the waist band in a couple of places

#thank you#I do appreciate this so much#novel or not of writing it is#honestly it probably wouldn't have stopped me from posting anything#I just needed a good vent (and apparently making a skirt while at work) to help me move past the feelings#this is so very kind and thoughtful and I very much agree with what you say#I still might delete the comments just so I don't have to look at those but the stories themselves will stay up#my thought has always been that they're there for the right person to find them#even if I think that they're incredibly cringe myself at this point#your kind words have certainly made those other ones start fading away#my first thought upon seeing them was just#hugs. lots and lots of hugs to you#all things said I've been very lucky with the majority of the type of comments I get#it's just a matter of not taking them so personally (which I have forever struggled with)#so just once again hugs

#I just needed to get all of that off my chest so that now I can maybe forget about them#it's amazing how just one or two comments that are neutral to negative can just completely undermine your confidence at times#just because I readily share my writing doesn't mean that I have lots of self doubt about it#I'm just going to go die in a hole of shame and embarrassment until I can forget those comments#I just need to think about the person who left me a series of#<3#those are hearts right?#I'll move past it hopefully#I'm going to try really hard to not dwell on it like I know I have a tendency to do
