Writing Isn't Easy... · 2:05pm Oct 7th, 2015
Not just writing fanfics, but writing in general. Right now I write news articles for a living, specifically news about technology and games, with a little entertainment news thrown in once in awhile. And I even write fanfics every now and then. It isn't an easy job. I write seven articles daily, and have to submit them on time. I have come to appreciate news writers who have done this for years on end, as well as writers out there who do this for a living. It's not easy trying to get a story out, or to find what's the best way to angle that news when every other site has posted the same news. Somehow you have to be different. It is true about news writing, it is true as well about writing fanfics. So I salute all of the fanfic writers here, and writers in general, who worked hard for what they have, be it a fanfic with 1,000 words or maybe even less than that (I know FiMFiction has a minimum of 1,000 words per fanfic; other sites do allow for lesser ones). It's not easy, but at the end of the day it's all worth it especially when you see your work gets even one like.
