So. I did say that I began uploading my stories on YouTube right? And it has been quite a ride. How awesome it was to actually have people give me feedback on my stories. Like it's the best feeling! Ever!
Honestly, I began writing for myself and yes, I'm still doing that. Of course, with my cousin's prodding, she told me to make the YouTube channel and basically said that maybe, just maybe I can also earn from them.
Well, as per my meager research, earning from writing fanfiction is quite a challenge.
No wonder, most of the authors I follow and admire have kofi, patreon and other accounts that allow them to earn money through commissions.
Sadly, I don't know if I'll ever do commissions? I feel that I still don't have the skills to make a story specifically for a person with paid expectations in mind. That realm is too scary for me.
For now, I'm just writing whatever I feel like writing. Whether it be romance, horror, mystery, tragedy or the macabre. I haven't even tried comedy because I think my sense of humor just doesn't show when I write. :)
I mean, look here.
Emoji.
That's it.
So... I'm looking at either a downloadable e-book that has all my stories or something like the Kindle Direct Publishing (something similar). I don't know.
I also have this blog.
Sigh.
I have another blog on wordpress where my stories are.
Should I lock those up? I don't know.
I locked my works on ao3.
Sigh.
Writing is not easy.
But I really really like it.
My mind gets like crowded and writing like now, helps me sort out my feelings and thoughts. Somehow.
So... I'm at a crossroads I think.
Yet, I'll continue to ponder on this. Until I decide later on what to do.
For now, I love how my stories are shared among my readers. It's not much but really, it feels good that there are some people who actually read them. And like them!
Nice!
Seriously, I just miss Seokjin and Jungkook. They truly inspire me to create scenarios for them. Both men are just so amazing. So perfect for each other. But that's just me.
