Just feeling kind of stressed out/down about my writing. A few people have commented about Path of Destiny having a ton of characters in the main group (and yes, that is true). The people were super polite about it and I'm not mad at them or anything, plus I know they enjoy the story.

This, plus the occasional rant I read on the Fanfiction subreddit I'm on where people talk about extremely long stories that get too big and convoluted and just fall apart, is just making me discouraged. Like there are a lot of people who think it can't be done or something. (Though I know it's probably not 'a lot.') Before reading these things I was super excited about my plan for Path of Destiny and everything, but eh, now when I look at that document I keep thinking of how much people are/will be disappointed.

I have other stories to work on, so I'm focusing on those now, but I don't know. I just wish sometimes that people didn't have such high expectations of me. That I could just write my ridiculous stories with all their silly flaws and have fun without worrying about this stuff. I've thought about no longer posting my writing online but I just don't want to stop. I LOVE interacting with people through creative stuff. I don't want that to end.

I don't know.
