My friend how do you motivate yourself to actually finish writing something
Okay, so this is actually a very good question!!!
I have always loved writing, but as some of you might know (Beth, I’m looking at you babe) I’m very insecure about my writing skills. I started to write a lot of stories, especially for McDanno because I love the characters so much, but I never finished them because I thought they weren’t good enough. That’s why I never posted anything here for a really long time, but then I realized how amazing the McDanno fandom really is!!! So I offered to write a fic for someone, got a request, and told myself to just finish it and post it.
In short: the motivation comes from my love of writing, my love for the characters, and knowing that there are so many nice people here that might possibly like it. I still get REALLY scared before I actually post a fic anywhere, especially since I’m Icelandic and my English isn’t the best, but all of the above really helps.
Honestly though, what helps me the most? A LOT of help and support from my angel @themcinebcnd, and lovely comments from kind people in the fandom like you and @cowandcalf 💕
