I’m feeling much better today. Yesterday was the worst I’d felt in years, not only because of my writing confidence, but with the addition of poorly timed external troubles. I think many things all fell together at the same time and exacerbated one another. 

I knew at the time that crumpling up into a sad ball and withdrawing because of one person’s honest opinion was very unprofessional and even fairly childish, but I honestly couldn’t help it. My confidence in writing has always been fragile, as I’ve had no mentors to guide me or give me feedback the way I have in art. My matter-of-fact style was something I was proud of and being hit with the realization that it’s undesirable was crippling in an entirely overdramatic, overreactive way.

But, my inbox filled with messages and notes, and even drawings, of you guys telling me to keep going. I’m still going through and answering all of them, but I want you to know that every one of them really helped me out. Tyler-quinn sent me the above message (well, that’s a part of it) with a quote from Mark Twain. At first, I didn’t think it was a real quote, and was simply written for me as encouragement, but a google search told me otherwise. I loved his work when I was younger and it made me realize that many of my favorite authors don’t write in overly descriptive prose. And not everyone likes my favorite authors. It was really hard for me to believe that the way I do things is, in fact, “okay,” but this really helped. 

So, thanks guys, for sending me such thoughtful notes and thinking of me. I’ll be putting the story back up today when I’m more awake. You’re all amazing and, as always, I love you.

Reponse:

I’m really sorry, but I took it down for the time being. I think I just need some time to get my act together. I’ll let you guys know if I decide to put it back up. But thank you for following me and for your interest.

Poor Shichi makes me always want to give him a big hug and a cup of tea.

Let me tell you how much I love Jisuk’s Karasu… like… It tugs feelings I didn’t know I HAD! afsdhgagj it’s amazing and I love it and SHICHI IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER OH MY GOD He hurts way too much but in a sick way it’s interesting to watch how much he can take before he brakes and he’s so lovely and gosh i love the way it’s written it’s so easy to read it just FLOWS under my eyes and I forget I’m reading a text and I just have this SCENERY in my head and I can almost HEAR the whole thing and ohmygods I love it so much I wanna read it again and again can I please pritn it out and make it into a hardcover book since that stuff is seriously something I want to have in my bookshelf. (I could get these amazing thin slices of wood and use them as the cover and carve the amazingtastic logo/crest jisuk made on it and bind the leaves by hand so I can attach more when it’s written and it would be so beautiful yes i need this in my life)

ALL MY LOVE

(and tears)

Oh, jeez, Tikaka… I don’t deserve you. I don’t deserve any of you! You’re just so damn sweet I can’t even take it. You jerks make it so hard to be depressed. Thanks so much.
