Guilty

I hate when I’m happy for friends. But I’m upset for myself. I wish I could just be happy when good things happen to my friends. Because they deserve it.

Then I have days like today. Where I see friends selected for things my works would qualify for too. That I know my work is really good.

But for one reason or another it wasn’t picked. Theirs was. And I am happy for them. But it gets messed up in my head thinking… maybe I am shit. Maybe I got things I didn’t deserve.

But because they are so happy, I don’t feel like I can say anything about my disappointment without making them feel bad or guilty. Or someone scolding me for daring to be sad.

I don’t want them to have lost to me.

I just wish we could have crossed together.

fanfiction truly being the savior for everyones sanity

I just wanna say even writing and posting it somewhere can be a sanity saver. I need to go back and add to the Addams Family pic I did ages ago but sometimes, when I’m in a sad mood and feel like no one cares about my writing? I open my email and then…

(BTW BadKarma000 this made my day when I was having “a oh we are struggling with depression maybe?” start of a day)

It’s nice and it means a lot.

So… write the fan fiction. Go read the fan fiction. Comment and kudos or whatever the ones you like.

That is all.

what are your worst writing habits?
confession time!
It’s difficult for me to write in chronological order. I have a poor attention span when I write because I frequently become distracted by new ideas. To avoid forgetting them, I jump to other parts of the scene or story (or sometimes to a different project altogether!) to write them in. So a lot of my drafts are an incoherent stew of dialogue, prose, and characters that only I can decipher the meaning of. It’s a hell of a time editing. And because I jump around so often it’s a struggle for me to focus on writing one scene at a time. I’m trying to get better.
Also, I’m guilty of not writing when I’m having a lot of good ideas. Then when I do sit down to write, I have to try to capture the ideas when they are older and less clear.

Passive voice. My editors fuss at me a lot over it. Going “Hey… you did it again.”

And every time I’m like…. damnit.

I thought I didn’t this time.

shit.
