12 Days of Fic-Mas

[tielan]

Sorry, guys, it's on hiatus.

I'm having an impossible time with my sheppard_hc story, to the point where I'm seriously thinking about reneging because I can't sleep, eat, or go out without feeling guilty because the story isn't being written, doesn't work, and won't be satisfactory for the recipient.

I've already restarted it twice, once at 6,000 words, the other time at 2,000 words, both restarts have been since the 24th.

*cries*

I just want this to go away and leave me alone.

The purpose of participating in fandom and writing fanfic is to have fun and enjoy yourself. If something's really stressing you out ... much as I enjoy your fic, I'd rather you took a break or defaulted on a few things or whatever than get permanently burned out on it. If it's not working, defaulting is not the end of the world. Go away and ignore it and do something else, either fannish or non-fannish.

I want you to be happy, and lately it seems fandom is directly interfering with your happiness. Take care of yourself, okay?

Try doing something else. Fanfic is supposed to be fun, enjoyable, interesting. Breaks can be really good things when it's not going so well. Being happy is more important than getting new fics out every week. Anyways, I hope you feel better soon.
