Comment on Montreal Confidential

    Aww, thank you. Writing has been trickier for me in the past few months. I'm on burnout leave from work right now. It's been so hard to focus, and accessing that creative part of my brain has been tough. But I'm on the mend, and I definitely plan on finishing this fic.

      Oh no! I understand, been there myself, more than once. The only thing for it is time, and complete rest.
      I have to admit, I'm finding focus difficult right now as well. Reading fanfic is the only thing I want to do. Another fanfic author said the following thing:

      “They say that that’s an anxiety thing,” Crowley said. “Way I hear it, people gravitate towards the same media over and over because it’s comforting and you know what is going to happen.”

      This is exactly what happens with fanfic, esp. GO fanfic. We know what's going to happen more or less. There's something incredibly soothing about this. The world is a hard place to be right now. Those of us reading these stories are very likely indulging in some form of self-soothing away from it.

        Yes!! That's exactly it. I've been re-reading some of my favourite GO human AUs lately because that's even more soothing.

        Thanks for the encouragement. :) This is my first experience with burnout, and it's thrown me for a loop.

          I don’t know if this will make you feel better, but please know that you’re not alone. It’s a frickin’ epidemic out there.
