❤ nothing could make me happier then knowing you're doing/writing something for you and making yourself happy. I love these sorts of author rambles. Reminds me that you're real (if that makes any sense).

I can see how that makes sense.  I’m definitely a real person. And trying to be happy, but mostly just trying to do something I enjoy for the very simple purpose of actually enjoying it.  Instead of doing something I’m not enjoying to feel validated somehow.

You are welcome in my weird little corner!  Especially if you bring your amazing and weird sims along with you. :P

I dont know exactly whats going on but I am always thinking good thoughts for you and I hope everything will even out.

Not anything new hon  just the same old bullshit.  I’m just more tired and less tolerant of it than I have been.  One of the biggest ones that’s driving me up a wall is my daughter’s meds are the most likely culprit in a rather severe bout of “Do I have to eat? I’m not hungry and food is gross”    she’s lost about 10 lbs in the past month,  she’s not dangerously thin yet, but heading that direction, and forcing her to eat sucks.   Uggg and the high school filing in truancy court because paperwork didn’t make it to them from the district office so they think she has 6 unexcused absences that she doesn’t actually have,  so i have to take the kid to court again and the juvenile prosecutor is a BITCH. excuse me. 

Plus a lot of other various bullshit that just majorly sucks.   Like summer coming up and trying to figure out how to get the kids to their grandparents house AND able to have a visit with their baby sister without their dad causing problems.  

and other random bullshit.

I cant write when I am not okay, or when I am not in the mood. Some people write to relieve stress. I can only seem to write when I am happy and content. So I know how that feels. And I love that your blog is for you. That is the BEST part of following people. To see their creativity and not see them "run a business". 'Must make everyone happy.' 'Give them what they want' No. That's not what these blogs are for. I love when you post, whenever that is. :)

Sometimes the words flow and it’s all good, but it’s been a LONG time since that’s been the case.  I don’t like having writer’s block.  It sucks SO much.  

I think that’s what I’ve been trying to do without realizing it- “running a business”  or whatever, like you said.  Like the only way this means anything is if a ton of people like it. or care.  Like it’s even gotten to the point where i’ve gotten seriously discouraged because I’ve never gotten any hate.  Like ... really? Why should that bother me?  But I guess feeling invisible kinda sucks.

When I feel like that, I can't write either. You aren't alone. And yeah...writing that stuff isn't fun. I agree that writing out the nitty gritty isn't needed, sometimes the after affects tell the story 100 times better anyway - I did that with Hunter. My inbox is always open, even if I'm not around a lot! I will always get back to you ♥♥♥

I remember seeing a post from you that you lost 10 or so subscribers once you started really moving away from Ocean Wild...

I'm so sorry about that! I didn't even see the notification for a lot of your posts (now that I'm scrolling through your blog)... I'm afraid I don't know much about your main stories; since I mainly subscribed for your Elliott x Sebastian fics, but if you wish to write about them too, I'd love to read! I don't want to turn your blog into another Stardew blog and have people sub and unsub once you start working on other things though...

You’re not the first person to say they received no notification whatsoever of that original post I made. This makes me wonder if Tumblr is experimenting with a Facebook-like metric (god, I hope not) wherein if you don’t ‘like’ enough posts someone makes on a certain topic, you stop seeing posts by that person on your dash. That’s exactly how FB works, and if Tumblr is going to go that way, well...

But from what I see you still love madness it's clear with all the effort and passion you put into it so don't extinguish that flame simply because a lot of simmers prefer the simple easy to read things

I can't say much cause I'm in the same place with Danevbies but as long as you're enjoying what you're putting out there and even if it's just a fraction of the readers you had X amount of time ago I don't see why you should stop (that's what I'm telling myself anyway).

I do love it, yes. And I won’t stop writing it. I’ve just been having a lousy couple of weeks, combined with some other things. I don’t talk much about my life itself on here, so most people aren’t aware of what’s going on. All of that just coincided with my excitement about trying a new thing... which promptly received zero response. And that just deflated me like you wouldn’t believe, leading me into a spiral of depression worse than I’ve experienced for a long, long time.

I got one, I got one! It's in your ask

Please keep bothering! You have a READER 4 LYFE right here :P

Bless your heart. If there’s one person I can always count on, it’s you <3 I’ll get to your prompt as soon as I can :)

Sorry to hear that this community is giving you a hard time. Maybe tumblr is not the best medium to publish such a story? It is, after all, a picture sharing tool - quick and easy, and forgotten as quick and easy. To me it seems your pictured posts alway get a lot of attention and nice comments. I would think that many people do not scroll back on their dash or open single blogs to read the full story. Don't put your self-esteem in the hands of tumblr. Maybe there are fo

This wasn’t going to be a full story; just a scene that was asked for. Kind of like fulfilling a Secret Santa request for a short bit of fiction. I know Tumblr is more of a visual medium, but I don’t like sticking to unspoken community-defined ‘rules’ like that. I’m too old to be anything but contrarywise now. Social media takes me as it finds me ;)

(Incidentally, it bugs me that Tumblr’s comments get cut off after so many characters. I can see there was more to what you had to say there, but that’s where it ended in my comment box for that post. Sorry!)

I'm sorry!!!

WHY DID I GET AN NOTIFICATION FOR THE POST SAYING YOU WERE NOT GOING TO DO THIS NOW, BUT NOT WHEN YOU POSTED THIS! I DIDN'T SLEEP LAST NIGHT. I DIDN'T MISS IT. THERE ARE NO EXCUSES! I AM SO ANGRY! TUMBLR YOU HAVE FAILED ME!!!
