Alr guys confession time.
          	
          	I don't know how I feel about writing now.
          	I've had times where there's no plot or the canon plot of a fic takes a turn, and the fic goes up in flames.
          	I've had a situation where I was proud of my plot and things were actually going well, then real-word stuff messed things up.
          	
          	I love writing. I think I always will. I love being able to create something in a way so many others can enjoy. But I feel like the fan-fiction route isn't working for me. 
          	I started writing fanfics because I enjoyed certain characters, then because I wanted to write but struggled with original characters. But I've had side characters that y'all have enjoyed, so idk?
          	
          	I'd like cold honest answers here. 
          	
          	If I were to write something original, something with my own characters, how likely would you be to read it? Because I get that it's often preferable to read something about characters you already know and love.
          	
          	Just a thought for now, I do want to actually get around to rewriting Twice the Love once I've figured out what I'm doing, but I'd appreciate any and all input.
          	
          	Thanks for sticking around :)

@MobMotherScitah honestly fair, I feel the same. I plan to make the story romantic :)

@Bean_in_a_Pan That wholly depends on subject and genre. I struggle to read certain things, like classical lit. (Frankenstein, Dracula) I hate diary/letter heavy books. They frustrate me extremely, yanno? And if there's no mystery or magic or romance of a certain nature, I get bored. I want intrigue, yanno? That's sorta what I go for in legit books.

@Bean_in_a_Pan  I'd go for it. Writing isnt forcing yourself, its rather about projection and reflecting on yourself :) I'll read it either way

I feel like it probably isn't much of a surprise that AotE will be going on hiatus for a while with the Wilbur situation.
          I'm gonna need some time to fully remake the plot seeing as he was supposed to be such a major character and now I'm worried about how inconsistent the story will be with me basically having to write him out of it.
          I don't want to stop writing this story, but I'm gonna need some time to decide how to fix it with everything that's happened.
          I might take the time to keep working on Twice the Love, maybe try to finally bring it back. We'll see how it goes.

            I think you should rewrite him as an original charecter seeing that you want to make a book with one anyways. They can have a similar personality to CHARECTER Wilbur and not william gold (wilbur irl) and that would make it to where you dont have to rewrite everything and you get to replace him with a charecter you make. This also makes space for any other original characters you might wanna add because it would fit as an alternative universe!! Id suggest making a pinterest board full of ideas for the oc to have an example of looks and personality (i do this a lot) so its easier to write them

Confessed to the guy I like. He doesn't feel the same, but I feel like we ended the conversation on a good note.
          Gonna cry myself to sleep anyway TvT

@MobMotherScitah that's awful. I'm glad to hear you're doing a bit better, and hopefully I'll have good things to talk about when Saturday comes around. Don't forget I'm always here to talk too if you need a shoulder :)

Okie dokie I'm neck-deep in feelings that could probably inspire some writing. Any objections to a chapter full of someone absolutely crushing with no idea if the other person feels the same or is just friendly?
          Y'all pick, Philza+Mumza or Wilbur+Sally :)
