A little something I sketched in my recent fundraiser for the awesome fic Babe, I’m here again by @sinceyouaskedmeforataleof which continues to be a delight. This illustration goes with this chapter … (and if you like a healthy dose of suffering before you get to the happily ever after then this fic is definitely for you).

To that end he dug out all the photos he had of Ben- the last picture they’d taken together before he left, and the one someone else had taken of them at D&D. That one he loved the most- maybe they hadn’t realised they cared for each other yet but it was there in Ben’s cheeky grin and the way Armitage was trying not to laugh.

He pinned them both up on the wall by the bed. It wasn’t much, but it was all he had.

I’m really like “strange phenomenon” – Can you recomend something similar from new (maybe not so popular) fics?

Well thank you, anon. I’m happy you enjoyed that fic. I haven’t read very much new stuff lately because I’ve been so busy with my second job and writing in every bit of my spare time, but maybe some of the folks hanging out on my blog have! Maybe they can share a rec or two! I always reblog fics I see that I’d like to read later, and this is a genre I enjoy, so checking my blog out for those posts might be a good idea if you’re interested!

Summary:

October was the beginning of the end, as far as Hux was concerned—the end of his peace of mind for three, long months. The retail business in a shopping mall was bad enough during the holidays, but having to run his upscale Burberry boutique across from a Hot Topic made everything worse.

How do you keep motivated to write long-term?

oh man, such a good question. I think the better one is ‘how do you keep motivated to go through life until you have time to write?’ Hahha… I have so much passion for the fics I am working on. Every one of them I’ve started I have a connection to, and it feels so bad when I can’t put the amount of emotional energy into each and every one that I’d like to. 

This being said, sometimes the emotional motivation that is needed to write just isn’t there, and one thing I’ve learned very slowly is that you’ve just got to allow that to be the case. Even if you have time, and you are sitting there in front of the computer wanting to write and feeling like the juice isn’t there…it’s okay. It’s time to nourish your soul. A lot of the fillers that go into the space between my updates are me doing things like laying in bed for 7 hours reading a book, or spending 5 hours decorating a house in Sims. Took me a long time to accept that writing, while a very deep love of mine, is not my job, and to make it one takes the joy away. 

-always- take care of yourself.  creativity is like a cup, and you drain it, and filling it back up again isn’t always something you do with ideas or will power or what have you. It’s with stuff like allowing yourself to feel free and happy so you can imagine, and dream. 🙂
