Because of Mibba

I now have high expectations of other writing communities. Like, I posted on the forum on Fanfiction.net, and with the replies I'm getting, everyone just seems so pretentious and arrogant.

That's not to say they are, it's just that I've gotten used to the closeness of this website, and other sites just aren't this close or make me feel like part of a family.

So unless I can stop looking down on the people who post on ff.net, I'm going to stop posting in their forums, so I can avoid insulting someone because I perceive their reply to be rude or just asshole-ish.

Also, I've decided that I may stop writing fanfiction. I'm never able to finish a story once I've gotten it started, which is real bad if I have a decent-sized fan base, which happens every time I make a new one. I love to read it, so I'm going to continue doing that. I just don't know if I'm going to continue writing it. I feel like I should focus instead on writing original fiction, that way I can learn to really develop my own characters and settings.

I'm officially putting my original story, Letters, on hiatus. I don't have any inspiration for that story, since I left it sitting untouched for so long. I'll get back to it, but only after NaNo. I'll use it as a "cool down period" since the only thing it requires is dialogue and character development.

Huh, I talked about more than I originally planned. I've been having trouble sleeping lately, so it's making it difficult for me to plan my novel. I usually end up staying up all night, then sleeping all day, which is something I really, really don't want to do.

Peace.
