becoming an ao3 writer:

pros: i have the power to make my dreams come true! :D

cons: 57 wips at all times. your notes app on laptop, phone and ipad are filled to the brim with half assed purple prose, sketchy dialogue exchanges, and keyboard smashes. you are never organized.

you have no self preservation skills and either write 5 fics in rapid succession or you never touch a google doc. there is no inbetween. your blood stream is more caffeine than actual blood. you convince yourself you know how to balance your irl responsibilities and your writing.

this is not true. you are lying to yourself.
