Okay, I fucked up by not spoiler cutting. Can I make it up by linking to [livejournal.com profile] glee_tunes where people can get the music from the show?

Yeah? No? Fuck it, I'm going to bed in a bad mood for like, the seventh time this week. I found an old notebook, like 2005 old, with the first written-out versions of character profiles for Carter and Josh and Trent and just, I have completely wasted my entire creative life, what am I doing calling myself an author? Nothing I write has literary merit. The last time I wrote something I could show someone who wasn't part of fandom was early last summer. What am I doing.

Thats the only reason I signed up to NaNo, to write something non-fandom. Of course then when I quit writing it became my one little chance to actually do what I wanted to do, so this year I hope to finish off the epic story I started the first year I did it.
Oddly enough, that epic first year story is the best thing I've ever written, and I don't think I will ever surpass it. I hit my creative peak in my early 20s and thats it for me, I'd better keep focussed on the art! XD

That's such a terrifying thought. If I burnt up all my creative talent on roleplaying and fanfic... *shudder*

I don't think i'm burnt out by any means because I'm still creating, but I quit writing because everything I wrote ended up with a common theme (srsly, I was ending up writing who/twfic that would read better as a mills&boon) and it was just pissing me off. I had good bits but they were all dictated towards that end.

Hush. You're brilliant and wonderful and the spark will come back. Most people don't end up writing their novel until their thirties or forties, hon. Fuck, look at JKR, or Anne Rice! You are awesome, your writing is awesome, and nothing you've done has been a waste of talent. You've given people a lot of joy and entertainment with what you've written, and if that isn't a good use for creative talent then every other author out there is doing it wrong.

*clings* I don't know what I'd do if you weren't my voice of reason sometimes. It's so easy to get down on myself when I'm stuck in a rut, and you're the best at shaking me out of it. Thank you, love.

It's perfectly acceptable to not produce anything publishable for as long as it takes to find your own voice.

Fandom let's us work out the kinks (literally and figuratively), play with language, experiment.

When you figure out what it is that you want to say you'll write it.
