Fuck This Shit · 3:01am Jun 3rd, 2019
I forgot how much I actually cared about people liking my shit. It's one thing to have attention on a story; it's another beast entirely when you're posting multiple stories and the shit you don't give half a fuck about is the shit getting all the attention. It's honestly so defeating I think I'll just stop posting for a bit. Anything I actually give a damn about flounders. The shit I barely even thought of posting generally flourishes, but not this time. A grand total of three negative reviews halved my rating, but it wasn't that they were generally negative that got me; It's the fact that no one says what's good or how to fucking fix what's wrong. Attacking someone for bad writing is bad enough, but not explaining why the 'bad' shit was bad? Straight up not getting the point? Not seeing what I see.
By no means do I think I'm a 'good' writer. Passable, yes, but there';s a reason I call my stories my 'shit'. Keeps me humble for the most part, but...
Why post my work when I'll never learn what's good about it? Why give a damn? Even my fucking Editors have never been able to give me a straight answer, and it's just starting to make me ache for release again, and I can't afford to think like that. Guess I'll be trying something new to get the mood back, but it's damn near impossible to see the point in posting anything else. I think it's time to write for therapy again instead of reviews.
Heyo, itsame Muffin. I can't offer you anything that might help but I'll read your book on RR and offer my own thoughts on why it's people might think that it's "bad" (I mean I suck ass at writing but I'm sure I can try and decipher what they mean by "So Bad It's Not Good") and give some suggestions on why I think it's good (but do keep in mind that I haven't read any other Fan Fics on RR so I have no frame of reference. Maybe the worst fanfictions on the site are all top notch. Also I finish this school year in 4 days so you might have to wait till then).
Edit: okay maybe it's going to take like a week or two because I currently have 450 words and I'm only on the first five paragraphs of the chapter.
Enjoy your writing, you will get negative and positive feed back. People maybe not explain why they don't like it or why they do. But you have readers, you have followers. But the important thing is don't take the lack of criticism so hard, or the fact that they dont say what could possibly help with your story. As you can tell im not good with words this comment probably doesn't make since, but i can tell your hurting from it. Keep writing. Hear the story, see the story, be the story. You got this.

Shit fam, I think my material just needs to be revamped. Starting something new and scratching everything that was previously on the shelves. I'll be opening up the discord as a think tank for the first 20 chapters if you'd like to join. I don't k iw when I'll actually get the first chapter finished, but I'm think NG it'll be within the day.
5068821 putting my heart behind my shit again is helping, and writing my feelings out rather than doing it for shits and giggles seems to be working well enough. Thank you for the kind and wise words.
