Hi to anyone that reads this!! 

I got a question: why do I still have followers? I haven't written anything on here is what's felt like years and I don't post anymore art so why do you still keep an eye on me?

I'm not complaining by any means, but I just want to understand. 

It isn't like I want to quit writing, it really isn't. I just know how terrible my stories are when posted. The idea started out perfectly but it never gets written the way I want. I even have an idea right now, but I know I'll never actually get anywhere with it and if I do then I'll be ashamed at how it turned out. Then someone might ACTUALLY enjoy it and then I'd have to disappoint them when I say I can't do it. 

I need to figure out something I'm actually good at so I can do something with it. It doesn't have to be artistic (especially since I don't really have a bone in my body that has the potential to be decent), just something I know I can do so that I don't feel completely useless.

Sorry, this wasn't supposed to become a self-loathing journal.

So, let me make this clear- it will sound kind of weird.
You were one of my inspirations to come on here and write. I haven't actually clicked the watch until today, but ever since I found DeviantArt I had set your page as a favorite.
You say you don't have a bone in your body with potential? Well, let me tell you this. You're an amazing writer, and have a lot more talent in you than I do.
I mean it. You're great at getting points across in your stories, and you know how to start and finish (The same can't be said with me, I still haven't even figured things out).
Stories are funny like that though, you get an idea and it morphs. I have changed one of my stories 10 times already because I didn't like how it was turning out, you're not alone.
My point is that you are an amazing writer, and should be watched by the people who enjoy your stories.

Stay wonderful, because we know you are. :)
