Writing Thoughts of the Day

[sophia_catherine]

So I think the best way to deal with the brain gremlins that tell you you’re no good because no one comments on your fic... is just to write more. Probably. Hopefully... (I so admire those people who just ‘write for themselves’ without these gremlins. Unless those people are, in fact, entirely mythical. That’s possible too.)

So my coldwestallen hasn’t done great (based on comments - it’s done ok with hits etc), but I enjoyed writing it so much, so I’m still going to attempt the prequel. But I also have a couple of other things I need/want to write first (or soon). Including the final chapter of Mending Wall (note to self: never take breaks in WIPs - I have to reread the whole thing now - but at least that will be like reading a whole new story since I’ve forgotten a lot of it :D ) and the post-Oculus coldwave/coldatomwave that was meant to be for the last day of coldwave week but then there was Christmas and life got way too busy. And an ADHD Barry that I’m trying to make olivarry because it’s for a friend who loves them. And I’m doing some beta reading for a friend today too.

Hmm, maybe it’s ‘write in a cafe’ time!

Repeats mantra “I write for myself” in my head ad infinitum...
