and then there are times I wonder why I even bother writing. I just got a review that made me feel so horrible about myself and my ability to write that I'm nearly in tears.
The one thing I've always prided myself on is characterizations. And how I craft a fic. The last thing I wrote... it wasn't intended on being a ground-breaking piece of fiction. Hell, it was mostly crackish if you'd actually read. There were things I didn't want to go into as an author and wanted to create a humourous atmosphere.
Apparently I fail and suck as a writer.
Joy.
And on top of that, I'm getting royally FUCKED with my car. The window "works" but it's not perfect. But if I want it back to how it should work, *I* have to pay the 350 bucks to do it. Yet, it was broken on THEIR watch. And then I had the general manager of the place tell me that even if someone smashed in my window while it was in their possession, it's my responsibility to replace it. I'm just livid -- and now telling me I suck as a writer isn't helping.
Anyone have any alcohol? Please?

You would think, wouldn't you? I used to get read a long while ago when I first came into fandom and wrote solely Remus/Sirius fic. Then I did Lusty Month of May and had complete burnout from writing 31 fics in 31 days and also began branching out in what I wrote. Then, I'd turn out 10 good fics in a year (maybe?) as opposed to just turning them out unbetaed unwhatevered... and get little feedback anymore. I don't know if something IS good and people just don't know how to comment or what? And I know I sounds like a whiny bint... *sigh*
I think I know exactly what you're talking about. I was taught the same thing. I don't mind seeing people want to help with writing, but at the same time -- most poeple are in fandom and write here to have a creative outlet and many just want to write, regardless of getting better or not. I swear authors should start adding a concrit: y/n to our headers.
