lea_hazelIn lieu of writing (= thinking) about my unhappy week and general mental instability:
I really want to look back at some of my old fic and see if I still think it is any good. For one thing, I would like to populate my AO3 account, and I would like to not upload indiscriminately, but rather keep only the good stuff. I am not sure I have the courage to do this, though. For example, I'm probably writing off my largest former fandom as a total loss, because the headspace I was writing from then is very icky to me now. It is way too much response to other fics, and not in a good way. On the other hand I can still think of a few that I would want to preserve, if indeed they're as good as I remember.
I want to write so many things but I feel tapped dry, creatively and emotionally. So much so that it's actually even hard for me to read. When shit gets that bad, I know I'm in trouble. On the positive side, I discarded two books I wasn't into and am now reading something I enjoy, and better yet, I recently wrote a fic I am really quite proud of.Homestuck, naturally, because apparently this fandom is my life now.
