I got an email alert from FanFiction.Net today. Someone added GS Distress II, my second Pokemon fic, to their favorites list. No matter how much I think it sucks and could be revised, someone else liked it enough. I felt humbled, and it feels good to know that some people like your creative outlet and storytelling. It's a welling-up type feeling, the same kind I get when I think about being a teacher. It's almost overwhelming sometimes, especially when I am pleased with my writing or am suddenly motivated either all of over again or even more so.
Despite being broke and having no time for a social life, these things make me so happy I forget about that.
You gotta smile sometimes. Life can be really good to you when you stop feeling sorry for yourself and forget your problems for happier thoughts.
About Me
- Mirai
- I'm a science nerd, writer, and anthropology major who teaches biology and AP biology to high school kids. I love to write and have been doing so in some form since I was six. Recently I picked back up my Pokemon series with plans on editing/rewriting it and posting it online now that I am nineteen years older and a much better (I think) writer. I also enjoy video games (Zelda!), taking pictures, walks and hiking, electronic music, following politics to be an informed citizen, and learning. I worked in a grocery store for almost ten years and enjoyed it most of the time though I find my career now much more rewarding. I have an unapologetic obsession with Pokemon (my plushies are in my classroom to share with my students). I like blue.
