IWSG: Recalibration


     So....my writing journey has felt very futile lately.  To the point where I've wondered if giving up wouldn't be the best plan.  Not giving up on writing entirely--I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't write!--but giving up on sharing my writing with others in any way.

    Which I suppose is pretty pathetic all around, considering I only share it in very minimal ways:  I post it as fan-fiction on AO3 or I post free text-based games on itch.io.  Not like there's any pressure involved or any necessity to "do well."  (And good thing for that, because what I write does not "do well" by any logical metric.)  Though I do feel like by sharing it publicly then it's slightly less of a waste of my (admittedly worthless) time to write it in the first place.

    ...

    I had wanted to talk about a book on writing I read recently, but somehow I am unable to change the subject.

    Maybe I need to do something else for a while and come back to this post later.


       I've been something of a weird wreck the last few days.

        Probably not going to make a lot of sense until I normalize again.


         Sorry for yet another wasted post.
