I Pray The Next Book You Pick Up & Begin Reading, Engulfs You In The Best Way Possible

Creativity is a muscle - something inherently exercise-able. That’s what I’ve been taught, anyway.

Sometimes I worry that my imagination has rusted away, atrophied, disintegrated. But then I have the most interesting dream, and it tells me not to worry.

All is not lost.

My everyday life demands more and more of my attention these days. My window of opportunity for living in daydream ether becomes smaller and smaller by the week, it seems. A part of my brain is panicking, saying I don’t have enough time - I feel like that’s part lie.

But complacency has its damage. Its toll.

And it’s hard not to listen to that part-alarm, part-siren in my head, when for so long all I wanted to do was create.

I’d be a fool to ignore it, even if it’s just an anxious attempt to keep that part of me alive and well.

Because I do care about the little lost artist. She is me, after all.

how do you do, fellow Creatives™

One of the coolest parts about being a fan of fanfic is you can actually contact the author. And they will respond. And then you can message them nonstop until they allow you into their lives and then you’re becoming their beta reader and suddenly you know multiple authors of all types of fiction books and fanfic authors who will drag out their deleted fics for you to read at a moments notice.

Anyway. Comment on fics and message authors. It’s absolutely worth it.

And of course, please mind the rating and tags of each fic.

When you try to edit something to post on ao3 and your fingers go on to write some other nonsense that is entirely unrelated to the former... well, I suppose we will just have to go with that, won't we?

(Rating is 'Teen and Up' and should not go beyond 'Mature' if it does veer from my draft... and I am laughing at myself because why does it feel like it's been ages since I wrote something that is SFW?)

*Chapter count might change because I have the inability to be succinct about anything in life.... also the main fic masterlist has been updated too.
