Give the Land Back

It seems you want to play the victim and send "anonymous" hate into people's inboxes and I've tried really hard to be supportive and guide you in some pseudo-soft parent type of way, but I think I really just need to put my foot down here.

1.) What's the point of cutting off people who only ever helped you? Why take constructive criticism as an attack when you've recognized the pointed-out problems on your own and said that you need to stop those behaviours.

2.) You being a minor does not mean you cannot be held accountable for your words and actions. Your words will still reach ears and your actions will always be the flap of a butterfly's wings. And on this note, you are at an age where you are trusted on the road, with a vehicle, with serving people food, with being in charge of those younger than you. You will not be a minor for much longer and you have a lot of growing up to do.

3.) You're nowhere near as slick as you think you are. Posting some "I am God and people must repent" bullshit is so fucking stupid on so many levels. You posted that literally right after you blocked people as if no one would put two and two together. Also, this is really just a bullshit way of highlighting just how fucked up your self-perception is. You're not God, a deity, or some other perfect being; you're just a dude who pushes everyone who supports you away for the sake of dramatic self-isolationism.

4.) I know you've been faking DID/OSDD. We've known and I refused to believe it because I cared about you like you were my daughter. I've spent time and money trying to make sure that you had a safe place to be if things with your parents got any worse. Now I don't really know whether I should have believed anything you said at all. I trusted you with family losses and you just threw everything away for your own self-centred attention-seeking.

The answer is no clue.

Wish I did, but I guess I'm sort of self-defeating in my writing for a couple of reasons, and this is going to apply to all of my fics, not just Dry Ice.

The first is that I'm currently focusing on education right now, and while I've continued fics while in school, my grades have suffered for it. So as much as I love writing and it helps me to destress, I'm going to prioritize homework and general academics for the semester.

Secondly, and what I think is essential as a writer who openly shares, is that I also focus on the quality of writing. When I started writing, I used to focus so much on how many hits my fics would get, but now that's sort of evolved into a mindset of seeing how many people look at my work and wanting to provide more entertainment/better writing. If I don't think what I'm putting out is "good enough", I won't put it out. It's probably not a healthy mindset, but it has taught me to be more analytical with my writing. Of course, this comes with the downside of not giving myself a consistent posting schedule, as well as jumping from fic to fic as my mind comes up with better plots or better wording of one scene over another.
