idk who needs to hear this, but low engagement does not mean your writing is bad.
engagement doesnβt solely depend on the quality of the work. whilst it can play a role, other things such as fandom, ship, tags, tropes and posting at the right time of the day/week play a SIGNIFICANT role.
so keep writing what you love. keep writing what makes your heart happy. your work is amazing. the fact that youβre even putting words out there is amazing.
do not let numbers define you or your work.
It's okay to take a break.
I know it doesn't feel like it. People want you to update your story or post a new work of art. It feels like they're relying on you in a way. And none of us want to disappoint.
But it's okay to take a break when you need to. Maybe you're busy. Maybe you're depressed. Maybe the creativity just isn't creativing for you. That's okay.
You don't owe anyone an update. You don't owe anyone your productivity. You, my dear, are not a machine. You are a person and you, deserve to take care of yourself without guilt or shame.
So take a break if you need to. And come back when you're ready. I promise you, the people who are real fans, they'll wait. Take care of yourself my friends.

I'M GOING TO QUIT.
Leehan sighed, rubbing at the bridge of his nose as he slumped into the chair at the nurses' station.
It had been another brutal day in the life of a first-year pediatrics resident, another day that made him question every single decision that had led him here.
He thought heβd finally caught a breather after updating his consultant on an admitted patientβs labs. The conversation had gone better than expected. No scolding. No passive-aggressive sighs. He even had time to sip the cold coffee heβd abandoned three hours ago.
But that illusion of peace vanished within minutes. A patientβs IV line infiltrated, another developed a fever spike, and before he knew it, he was calling a different scarier consultant.
She had almost yelled at him.Β
Almost.

SUNGHO (μ±νΈ)
SUNGHO FIXED HIS HAIR in front of the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time, the worried look on his face refusing to fade. You stood nearby with a makeup brush in hand, watching him in quiet amusement as he turned to you once again.
βAre you sure it looksββ
You didnβt let him finish the question. He had asked this far too many times before, even after you painstakingly helped dye his hair and gave him a whole lecture on how to make the color last.
βYes, it looks good. Yes, you look absolutely gorgeous. Yes, everyoneβs going to fall in love with you the second they see you. Should I go on?β
He covered his mouth, a shy laugh already bubbling up. The tips of his ears reddened as he mumbled, βN-No, itβs okay.β
