I've been trying to improve my writing lately and have recently come to some very big realizations regarding characterization, the way I write interactions, pacing, and overall thematic coherency. Because of this I am, naturally, extremely embarrassed of many of my past (and current) works and am seriously considering orphaning or deleting them, as well as potentially abandoning my current Ao3 account.

It's a personal choice primarily stemming from a desire to limit the audience of my old works and potentially regain any audience I've alienated in the past with honestly pretty godawful writing thus far. I don't think most people on here follow me for my writing, but for, like, the three of you that do, would you rather I leave old stuff up, or delete it altogether?

I've had people grow annoyed over me deleting work in the past and would like to at least test the waters, though I honestly don't think anyone is so invested that this'll get any response??? Just like. Reply if you have a strong opinion ig lol, I'd rather not upset anyone if I can help it

#my writing #personal #seriously some of the stuff up on my page rn makes me absolutely die of embarrassment #I'll have periods where I'm like gosh why aren't ny numbers better and then I'll reread and there are SO many reasons #my hits to kudos ratios keep dropping and I obvi need to overhaul my writing big time #and since I've been meaning to delete so many of my works forever now #this seems like a catch all solution #pretty sure a ton if readers already have me blacklisted forever based on previous stuff tho :')#been studying really good writers in the past week and the differences are so obvious too lol #like I might never be good at writing but at least I can try to improve ig???
