Thank you to all who have read my writing over the years. You guys were my biggest support and my inspiration for the longest time. I never wrote better than when I had your amazing reviews cheering me on. This is not a courtesy I received when my writing was workshopped by my peers in classes. Actually, the feedback tended to be pretty negative and damaging.

I started trying to write to please them, and somewhere along the way I lost sight of myself. I stopped writing. I can't remember the last time I wrote more than a few crappy sentences at a time. I always said the day I stopped writing for myself was the day I needed to stop writing, and eventually that day came.

But today (It's Nov. 19th, 2017) I logged back into this account to do some house-keeping. I took off all my old stories that were embarrassingly bad (sorry if you enjoyed them). I responded to messages I had no idea I had. And started to spend way more time on this account than I thought I would.

I was reminded of why I started writing in the first place: I wasn't always okay with being a lesbian. That was a journey I had to take, and it was hard to go through alone. When I was a teenager there weren't many books out that had lesbian or bi (or etc.) characters, so the only place I could find characters I could relate to was by reading fan fiction. And that's why I started writing it too. I wanted to give that feeling to someone. I wanted to answer the questions I was always too scared to ask and give hope to others who needed it most. I wanted to help girls who like girls know that you are normal, who you are is okay, and, mostly, that you are not alone.

UPDATE (07/09/2018):

Hello, last time I logged in I put on my profile that I would no longer be writing fan fiction. I seem to have lied. I recently began working on something. It has been posted.. If there's anyone out there who still reads, please enjoy. If not, I'm mostly writing it for myself anyway. For me to fall back in love with writing. I felt I needed to get back to my roots, or come back home, so to speak. So, yeah, that's all I've got for now.

Also: I make fan videos, if anyone's interested. My YT name is xxMusicxSpazzxx.
