A conversation with myself while I try to figure something out…..
I don’t write fanfic because I want to write it well and that takes time. I don’t write fanfic because I really shouldn’t be spending time with something other than tv writing.
That’s a stupid reason. Shouldn’t you write for enjoyment?
Oi now. I like the writing I do. I like re-reading my things. it’s neat. Neat as heck. Anyhoo I don’t write fanfic because there is a vast amount of it out. No one needs my voice
That is stupid. There is a vast amount of books out there so what…no new writers eh?
Yes, shut up. I don’t write fanfic because I would hate to think I wrote something amazing and it went under-appreciated.
Ahhh there we go. That makes sense. You need praise and love for your works.
Well yes, of course, why the fuck else do you write? Yes, because you love creating stories and you want them out of your head but because you want someone else to enjoy the story. Comedy writer here…immediate validation in the laughter is needed.
When you’ve wrote fanfic that happened. People liked it.
Yes, but you know it’s lovely and all that but I just think actually no the kudos are horrible really. The kudos makes you want to write more when you REALLY need to focus on other things. So back to this… I don’t write fanfic because I need to focus on my career and whenever I’m not writing career shit then I’m wasting time
You can’t have a hobby? Porn stars don’t ever have sex for fun? Mechanics never work on old cars because of the challenge? The president doesn’t president over presidenty things for shits and giggles? okay forget the last one
Do i enjoy it? If I did then I would’ve finished a book not just half ass finished them right?
I really think you rather enjoyed writing that last scene with Aislin though. A lot. So much that you’re excited to write your silly career writing more. So I think you need to write fanfic . Just maybe once a week work on a fanfic that you enjoy and then the rest of the time work on the other stuff. fanfic!sunday has a nice ring to it…..
hmm
indeed
Okay yeah I think you’re right. I’ve enjoyed this colab with Aislin too much to pretend I don’t love it. Maybe me and Laroux should write something together. oh golly.
Always write when you’re inspired. Regardless of the medium dear. Always.
Inner voice you are sooooo super smart.
