Do you ever ask yourself...

[themostepotente]

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.

Hon, we all feel this way. You might not believe me, but it's true. I happen to know of a certain HP author (no names) whose work is breathtakingly spectacular, but her self esteem is appalling. Writing is such a personal thing - and a lifeblood/motivational force for so many of us - that when it's not going well, we tend to react very badly (and yeah, I'm talking about me. :D).

Writing should be done for the love of it. If it's become a chore, take a break. Because eventually you'll grow to hate creative pursuits and you'll be (more) miserable. Take a step back, try something new. It'll come back to you, I promise.

Hehehehe, this has been as much a peptalk for me as I intend it to be for you. ::laughs::
