Do you ever ask yourself...

Why do I fucking bother? That notion seems to be my lot in life.

So I'm sitting here with my violin in my lap for writing inspiration, and I'm half tempted to chuck it across the fucking room. *sighs* So I'm here once again asking myself the eternal question 'why do I even bother?'

I think after this last fic, I'm going to take a break from writing. I may just quit for good.

I need to finish this sorry ass Snucius fic because I made a promise. Fuck promises.

in synch with you

yes...i know the feeling, very well. give yourself permission to do something else for a week and don't write if you don't want to. you are a good author and maybe you haven't been told that lately, i don't know. sometimes it's difficult to remember that a lot of people read what you write but don't necessarily comment. usually people who do write will comment because they do know what it feels like when you put something out and not a lot comes back - this whole writing thing,can be lonely. or when you have 'block' like i do right now, or when it just makes no sense.
so just be good to yourself and know that you are competent and loved.
