I hate myself so much for allowing myself to do shit like this!
I only want to write action adventure novels in a fantastical world with advanced technology. I want to escape from reality for a while.
I don’t want to write fantastical worlds focusing on mysteries and shit that I don’t give a fuck about. I leave the craziness of the reality to relax, unwind, and go on epic adventures with amazing characters.
I don’t care what people think. I shouldn’t write stories that I don’t read and want to read.
I only love Project Succession because I finished it, nothing else and nothing more.
So, I will not continuing with Project Succession anymore. It’s not my favorite type of story, even if I finished it.
What people are you trying to please? Are you posting it somewhere? Otherwise, how would anyone know what you’re writing anyhow?
Definitely don’t bother writing what you don’t want to. Everyone’s complaining lately about how every story is starting to sound like every other story. No one’s writing anything original, because they’re all writing to market. So there’s a whole legion of readers out there who are probably waiting for someone to publish whatever it is you write, but they’re not being served right now. They’re waiting for you!
Just make sure you find a literary agent who likes the same thing you do. Otherwise they’ll change it to make it sound like everyone else’s book, and that will compromise it. ヽ(ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ
Most of it is overthinking and writing something others will like. The thing is I never showed anyone my work I am just overthinking and concerned before anyone sees anything.
I want to please the people who want something different yet well written.
Nobody has seen my work. A large part of it is stressing about trying to please people who don’t know who I am. I am afraid to be myself with thes stories I want to write because people badmouth those stories.
This is also stims from reading things online, especially on Reddit and sometimes YouTube, seeing the negative comments on certain things wondering if I should do that. This is mainly towards writing. I am nowhere near the publishing stage, but I am overthinking on everything trying to not upset people who never even seen my work. I am stressing before anything happens.
Even over analyzing things is just horrible treatment towards myself.
That’s so exhausting and heart breaking because I am causing myself self harm by pleasing people who don’t know I exist.
I hate doing that to myself. I must work on stopping that.
