So, I haven't done an update in a while. I've been ... well, frankly I've been a little lost. I'm having a certain amount of difficulty getting into my Fallout 4 fanfic - I know where I want to go, I'm just not sure of how to get there. I have the characters and I have some scenes written, but I'm fighting to get those scenes linked up together. Plus I think I have finally realized just what a massive chunk I have bitten off with this. Fallout 4 is potentially massive, especially since I do want to explore more than the core story since that's where I think the true beauty of the game lies. As for Transformers, I'm finding myself a little on the outs with the fandom right at the moment. Mostly it's because I feel lost in a new branch of the canon that I'm not following with new characters that I somewhat dislike. Regardless, the problem is with me and not the fandom and that's kind of making me a little depressed.
But I have decided that I have spent enough time moping (because yes, I was moping and sad not Depressed), and I am going to make a change. I had promised myself that I would write more this year than I did last year (and I have, by one fic ... not that that's hard having only written two things last year). I intend to fulfill that promise to myself and I am going to stop questioning the legitimacy of my works. I am going to aim at writing something every day and posting at least once a month. Now those posts might be parts of WIPs and may not be in any way complete, but I will still post them as a personal reminder that I am capable of doing stuff.
I am honestly not expecting anyone to read anything I post (I'm not writing stuff that exactly resonates), but I am actively reminding myself that we write for ourselves and not for others and that what's important is that I like it.
So, we'll see if I can keep to this one. I will be alternating between Fallout and TF/MCU and see where that takes me!
