This feels like it should be obvious, and yet

Yesterday my partner Io reblogged something on Tumblr encouraging people to write fanfic, and more broadly to just write for yourself and have fun doing it.

"Just follow your heart and write."

That's easier when you feel like you have things in your heart. Remember how I've stopped feeling like I enjoy things? I certainly don't enjoy anything enough to write fiction (or draw, or...) about it anymore, and that includes my own ideas. I like the idea of liking them, and to an extent I like fantasizing about them, but when it comes to actually doing anything with them, I come up short - in part because I'm not having fun, which in turn is in part because I'm worried about getting them wrong.

(Maybe I should show my therapist this blog.)
