no one talks about how growth in audience makes enjoying ur work so much harder so. here i am.
#audience sounds dramatic but! think of it as ppl who consume work#at the start when i posted on tumblr i had no clue who was gonna like my work or if anyone was even gonna read it#if i could read it back and be like yeah i’d like this i was happy !!#and also there was no pressure to produce because i had no one/very little people following my work#now i have almost 500 followers which feels like a crazy amount (it is i am very grateful) but the weight of that makes writing SO hard#i criticise every piece i write so harshly and compare it to my other fics and other peoples works and it never ever feels good enough#but that on top of the feeling that i NEED to create content because there’s that many people expecting it is a lot!! it feels bad sometimes#so there are a million half written fics and so many ideas that i’ve wrote and just discarded because i was so brutal about my writing but#i am trying to let go of the idea that i need to create to appease#other people and instead learn to write for me because i genuinely do love writing and creating fiction#and also giving it a chance. reading it with a fresh mind and deciding that no 2 works are supposed to be the same or have the same formula#so of course they’re going to be different! thank god they are!#anyway to my fellow authors please give yourselves a break from the pressure you probably put urself under and know that writing is not#synonymous with perfection.#anwyay! if you read this far i hope u enjoyed my ramble pls know it is late for me ajhdjs#📂.rambles
