    Late Night Blog Post About Subjectivity In Writing.

    It's late night, starlight, shit is bright. Lets get ready to ramble, might help me sleep. I want to talk a little bit about what I think makes good writing, because fuck it, I have the time and will.

    I just realized I only have 10% battery left, which translates to roughly 20 minutes on my laptop's shitty battery. I guess this just became an exercise in speedwriting.

    Real Talk Pertaining To Insecurity, Unreasonable Standards, and Judgmental Behavior.

    God, that's a lot of negative words, huh?

    I just want to say, I've been thinking a little bit lately. I'm by no means a wise man, but I wanted to let a few thoughts out there.

    Alright. Time to get back to work!

    Break is officially over. You guys feel free to send me stuff again if you want.

    Since it would be stupid to make a blog post that short, how about I list of my top 5 fictional characters as well? You don't have to answer, I'm doing it anyway. Here we go, in order, descending from 5 to 1.

    Happy blogs.

    Okay, so I officially worked through all of the stories in my queue. As of tonight, I'm on break. I will stay on break until my next blog post.

    I will still take fics for people whom I already have experience with. If I have edited something for you in the past, and you feel like there isn't anyone else that could do your newest story, then I will take it.

I'm getting a little bit tired of this. · 8:40pm Dec 18th, 2013

I do good work around here... I think? I can sometimes put hours of work into other people's fics, or spend a lot of time coming up with original concepts for my own stories, but lately, it doesn't seem to matter all that much any more.

I spent more time editing stuff in the past couple of weeks than I expected to ever do on fimfiction. It's nice that people like my services, but what does it all come to.

What I'm saying is... I'm taking a break from doing stuff. I'll try to wrap up loose ends, but once I've done that, I might not be around so much any more. I'm not naming any names, but a few authors that I edit for have been giving me unnecessary flak, despite the work I did for them. Maybe I'm too nice, and I should stop taking work from new authors and only work for myself and friends. Maybe I am stopping.

Fuck I'm tired. I think its time to do more actual reading; leave the work to the talented guys. My two unfinished stories will be completed if I find the motivation.

Basically, this is a 'you should stop paying attention to me' blog post. I'm not interesting or special, and I don't think I want to aspire to be any more. Catch you guys on the flip side. Andy out.

(Sorry for ranting on you peeps)

Edit: I mean, Fimfiction used to be an awesome place for me. I used to like nothing more than to go here and just read something chill. I don't think anything has ever pulled me out of as many depressions as you guys have. But now, I don't get anything other than grief and proper grammar from this website. In the words of Haruki Murakami, one of the greatest writers of our age:

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

Awww man, what a bunch of... silly people.
Your services are actually rather valuable. Who the hell would undermine your efforts like that?
Idjits. :facehoof:
Well, do what you gotta, I guess?

Take all the time you need, FimFiction isn't going anywhere; I understand the feeling. I wish I could offer some uplifting advice, but I think some personal time would do you more good than anything anyone could say.

I hope I'm not lumped in with those pesky writers. :twilightoops: Pre-reading my stories is entirely optional, although I'm just used to asking you every time I write something.

At any rate, I hope you're able to take some time to unwind and relax, 'cause burning out isn't very fun.

Don't worry, writer, as far as I'm concerned, you've been nothing but smiles and sunshine :twilightsmile:
