Thanks, Anon ;____;
I dunno, I go through this, sometimes - like, I’ll just look at what I’ve drawn (usually while reflecting on some other amazing fanart I’ve seen) and think “man, that didn’t turn out how I wanted at all." What it really comes down to is that I’m extremely self-effacing, which is totally a bad thing.
Not to mention half the time I feel like I should be focusing on my writing - it’s what I’m probably gonna make a career out of, after all - but as far as fan works go the audience isn’t nearly as massive (at least, not in the fandoms I write for. Or maybe people just don’t review my fics? I mean, hell, there’s tons of widely-acclaimed Portal fics, for example, but I’m pretty sure my fic’s gonna be at least somewhat ignored because I decided to go the impatient-but-impactful route and write microchapters instead of super-long chapters). I don’t really have illustration-based original plots or characters, either - it’s all writing.
So really, on days when I’m kinda depressed I just question every single aspect of my life and/or have existential crises. Just happens, really.
