y’all being an au writer is all fun and games until you started posting a prompt, get many likes but as you go on with the story, everyone is a ghost reader so you will get discouraged bc you’re not sure if they are loving your plot as it goes then one or two people tells you +
+ they are loving your au so you get inspired again but then your au still get no interactions so you’ll still feel discouraged. it’s a freaking roller coster of self doubt :((((
i don’t wanna sound whiny or what, but i love writing that’s why i do aus. and i’m a natural over-thinker, i always question myself and my abilities. and seeing these doesn’t help my self doubt
interactions, qrts or comments are what au writers hold on to. seeing someone enjoy your au are so satisfying and fulfilling. so if you finished an au and no one interacts, it’s just full of questions: “did i not do great in this au?” “should i just delete this?” whatsoever
:(( honestly you can just ignore me, i’m just really sad right now. maybe it will go away once i sleep it off. will also probably delete this thread tomorrow bc someone might say i’m being too sensitive. good night!
