Fulfillment From Fanfic

Does writing fanfiction make you happy?

Of course it does. That's why you do it. If that's not why you do it, don't tell me.

But what I want to know is, is it a happy that staves off boredom and is entertaining, rather than a happy that makes you want to jump up and down and run in circles and smile all the time because you're secretly thinking of what you're going to write next? Is it the kind of happy that makes it so you can't wait to sit down in front of your computer so you can see what happens next? Is it the kind of happy that every once in a while makes you bursty feeling?

I hope it is.

It used to be that way to me. The happy high of writing. I haven't had that in ages, for several reasons, and it makes me incredibly sad.

Dude, you have a perfect right to be unhappy. No censorship from me!

I hope you find the spark again, I really do. Best wishes, and chin up!
