I think it is time I step away from writing fanfictions for a while.
When I began, I don't even know if it was the loneliness I felt, or simply that I imagined myself inside the worlds I wrote and books have always been my first love, and writing became my way to walk among the characters I admired.
but life has changed because back in 2020 and 2021, I was freer, with more time to imagine and to create.
Now, things are different.
These days I find myself turning more toward the physical side of books; reading the great novels of writers far beyond my reach, and realizing that perhaps I thought of myself as a writer more than I truly was And this is not a sad thing, nor should it discourage any new writers , rather it's a discovery.
Writing may not be made for me in the way I once believed, but the love of stories remains.
I also want to share that one of the things I never quite liked was relying on AI to smooth grammar or polish my words. It made the stories feel less mine, less alive. That is another reason I step back , to return to something more personal, more direct.
So I'll be keeping a physical journal now, writing only for myself, without an audience, without edits ; just words as they come.
This is not the end of our journey, only a pause, a quiet turning of the page.
Perhaps one day I'll write again, but for now, I wish you all well.
Take care, and thank you for walking with me this far.
