Why I don't write that much:
A comprehensive list to why I don't post as much as other authors.
Most of my work is very long form, and so it takes a lot of time. This one is very true especially for me. I write things that are 1,000-20,000 words. I like the form of long fiction the best for the stories I write because I get to tell an actual story. That isn't to say that those who write shorter stories aren't writing stories. Not at all. I just feel more fulfilled writing longer form stories.
The lack of engagement on the stories themselves. For every like I get, I don't get a reblog. I have stories that have 15 notes because only three people reblogged it. Likes don't let others see it. Even if you have your likes open to your followers, that doesn't have the same reach as they have to go to your profile and click on the likes vs. just seeing it when it comes across their dash and reblogging it themselves. When I get those fifteen notes on a 20,000 word, even 14,000 word story, I don't want to write more. Because no one likes it.
The lack of engagement with the readers. This one really irritates me. I want to talk to my readers. I want to listen to them, to what they like, to what they want more.of, to what they want to see again. My requests may be closed, but that doesn't mean my ask box is. Because I've taken to writing longer pieces, I haven't been taking requests because of how long the pieces take to edit. But I don't want my blog to die every time I'm taking that time to write. I reblog ask games, ask my readers to send me things not just about me, but about my stories, because I want to hear about it! But, I guess my readers don't care.
With my ADHD, I hyperfixate on things, so I move around fandoms a lot. This is something that is inevitable with any writer, but for me it happens more frequently. But, I still write for the fandoms I am not fixated on. I finished my Geralt of the Witcher's series even though I've been out of the fandom for ages! I'm working on a Star Trek story for Deep Space Nine and a The Last of us: Part II story, even though I'm not in those fandoms anymore because I want to give my readers good, well edited content that I actually love. But then it gets two reblogs, and one's from my editor.
I don't have money. I am giving this content to my readers for free. I am not getting paid a single cent for the work I'm doing. If I did, I could get sued, and then I'd lose even more money than I ever got. That's why I ask for donations to my Ko-fi. Because I can't get sued for donations. The more donations, the more I'm able to write and not scrounge around for money. I'm not proud that I'm asking for money. In fact, I'm embarrassed by it. But I don't have money. I'm out. I'm broke. And I can't keep writing if I don't have money. It's not stable. Of you can't donate money and yours is tight too, why not reblog it instead? Then people will see my writing, and if they have money, maybe they can donate so I can continue writing. But my readers get content for free, and they don't reblog. So they won't miss it if it's gone.
And there's my list of reasons I don't write that much. I love everyone who reads what I write, but I just am feeling so alone right now. I have my wonderful editor who's been amazing through this tough time, and I am working on two different projects, but I don't know if I'll post them. Because if people don't reblog, they don't really care if you give content or not, right?
