 I need to throw myself directly back into creating more stuff so I don't have brain-space to feel bad that I for nebulous reasons I don't understand struggle to drag readership to my fics and I don't know how to change this.

wtf am I going to work on writing next?  Do I attempt another thing for a bang-type event or say fuck it, I'm going to work on one of the many niche things I've been backburnering because they don't fit any bangs' remits well enough, or I don't think they'd make the minimum word count because I'm concise like that?  Do I ban myself from seeing my AO3 stats page???

Write what You want to write. We Make All The Things, ultimately, because that’s what our hearts compel us to do.

True, fests and such can drive readers to us. But what you create from the heart will touch someone else out there, in ways you might never expect. Please listen to your heart. 💙

This is such a soft and nice comment and I thank you for saying so because I think I needed to hear that! *blows a kiss*

I actually find it really freeing to write now that I've finished my bang fic. No more hard deadlines or anxiety about the collaboration! I can just do what I want! I like writing again! So, that's what I would go for. :)

Hee, true - but it's also VERY easy for me to procrastinate on projects with no deadlines. I've wasted years not finishing things I'm really passionate about writing!
