didn't sleep... warning might ramble · 5:07pm Apr 11th, 2016
So... so i've come to see something. Something that I guess I should of seen long ago.
I know... I know i'm not the best writer and that I get lots of ideas that I never get to... but I love writing it lets me escape to a place where I feel like I matter and i'm not useless. And lately all i've felt are those two things what with my medical problems and everything. But hey, I still have to try life has to continue right?
So writing... writing is my way to escape but I already said that sorry didn't sleep. It... has just become apparent that in my writing i'm letting all of you down I start an idea but don't finish it or get tons of notes written and outline and it never amounts to anything. I could blame alot of things could say well i've got two many ideas to just focus on one or hell i could even blame the fact that i'm mildly autistic ... but I won't...
Instead i'll say I...I think i'm a bad writer and I guess the reason I never stay ficused on anything is i'm afraid i'll screw it up so before I can I move to something else... so stupid...
i'm just destroying me and letting you all down doing that... So what do I do now? Throw in the towel promise i'll do better... I... I just don't know. A very close friend probably my best friend helped me realise the reason I only have like four paetrons is that people won't and can't support something they believe they'll never see no matter how much they adore it. And...
That person is right i've given you all no reason to believe in me and i'm sorry... I need to take a long look at who I am and why i'm really here. But right now I just wish I could stop crying.
Till next time

Your and amazing writer! Don't be so hard on yourself. Everyone who is creative and amazing like you gets a ton of ideas, and have trouble finishing them. No one can blame you. Also if you ever need anyone to talk to, just message me
Writing is a great way to escape, and it can be very relaxing. Use that to your advantage because there are a lot of people who aren't able to do that 
I'm so sorry Foals. This was never my intention.
you are not a bad writer Foal. You have great idea's. The fact that many including myself want to see them continue. I have tons of stories I have come up with but have not written because I'm trying to focus on a few and get them done before working on them. You have now realize you need to do so as well. So cheer up. A mistake was made and you are fixing it.
You are a very skilled writer in my eyes. If I had been able to afford to do so, then I would have happily supported your patreon. Unfortunately there are a lot of us that are struggling financially that can't afford to show our support for those we wish to in a monetary fashion. I cannot speak for everyone as I don't know everyone's situation or views. So please do not see it as a sign you're not a good writer as it isn't true.
You're a great writer, Foals
Writing is like wine making, you can't rush it otherwise it turns out badly... if you need a break from writing, we won't mind. You deserve a breather in your life
I agree with everyone before me. You are a good writer. Each of the stories I've read by you have been great reads. If you need a break, we understand. Your life and happiness come do. For the greatest of things, we must be willing to wait. Those of us that can contribute do. Thank you for the stories you've written.
You are a great writer. That's why I followed you in the first place! Keep writing!
If you're afraid of continuing a story for fear of messing it up (which is honestly a super-common motivation killer)... I'd suggest continuing the story and messing it up, anyway! It's okay to make a mess. We learn how to make messes! And we learn how to clean up messes! And we learn how not to make the same mess next time! The nice thing about the written word is that one can go back and change them later.
Foals Errand, you're a MUCH better writer than you give yourself credit for here. And I would totally support you, but I don't actually make money (yet). So, instead, have half my Pop Tart, and feel better, because all of us here really care, and LOVE your work.

You are a terrific writer, Foals! Many of us support you and love your stories! I know you wish to help your family. You are doing your best and that is more than many would even attempt. You stay strong and remember we are here supporting you, even if only with well wishes and love. Take care and try not to worry so. *hugs*
Foals Errand, I am afraid I must disagree with you on some of the things you said. First off, You are not a a bad writer just because you seem to have a bit of trouble finishing with one thing before you start another. You are, in my honest opinion, a terrific writer. If you weren't, you probably wouldn't have the outpouring of support below, and I likely would have never found my self following you and enjoying your fics. It is a testament to your creativity that you are able to come up with so many ideas, and creativity is one of the things that make life, and people, interesting.
Second, you are not letting us down by coming out with new ideas, although it is a good idea, for consistency's sake, to stick to a few( say, 3-4, depending on how well you can manage that many worlds at once) stories. I have this problem a bit as well, though I do not yet know if I plan to put any of my work out there. What I have done, and this might help you, as well, is created a word document specifically for whatever random idea/inspiration I get for writing. I write out the idea, enough to get it down so that I can come back to it later, and I move on. It might not be that simple for you, but I hope this helps, at least a bit.
Also, I would say 'Worry less about screwing up, and just try to focus on writing.' but I know that advice like that is very difficult to follow, sometimes. Instead, I will say this: Having read thousands of books, fanfictions, and such( and grammar nazi'd all of them), you, and several other writers on this site, have written some of my favorite stories of all time. I normally can't go back and reread a story at all without getting bored, but I have found several on this site that I can, and yours are among them.
PS: Sorry for dragging this comment out.
