amilyn linked me to this when I was complaining about some readers and how it no longer gives me pleasure to update a story that I wrote at age 11 or 12 in a fandom that I am no longer really involved in. Unfortunately, every time I announce I'm going to take a break, every time I announce that I am done with a story, every time it takes me ages to update, I get a lot of negative reviews and messages and such. Seriously, my writing, people. So yeah, this link makes me feel so much better.
link My only problem now is how tempted I feel to respond with, "Sophie is NOT YOUR BITCH"
You know what? I think I am done with some of my stories. If I feel inspired to finish or update them, great. But I am done with forcing myself into updating, because it's just not happening. And my readers are just going to have to deal with that.
Hopefully this point of view lasts.
