How to fight being turned away from what you love.
8 years ago
In all my time of world building and working on great stories and RPG settings, I have always come across one thing that constantly turns me away. It isn't just what affects me, it affects a lot of people and many don't seem to find their way out of it. When you post things that you hope people will see, and realize that not many people look at it, it can be dissuading and cause you to want to stop. I think its one of those things everyone seeks, and that is recognition from their peers and the hope that you will feel as liked as the people they seem to enjoy.
Still, you cannot let that bother you, even when it seems like no one in the world wants to care, remember there is usually at least one or two people who care above all else. No one wants to see you stop doing what you are doing, people want to see you succeed, and most of all you should do it for yourself. Why? Because if you let things stop you, you will never forgive yourself. I have failed twice to get my stuff going, and now I am trying to get it into overdrive to make up for my stupidity and my losses from years ago. The only one stopping you from doing well is yourself, and you should do what it is you love, because you will always do well with something you love. If you cannot make content, seek help, there is always someone that will find things you make fascinating.
At the end of the day though? No one can replace you, and no one can replicate your ideas, and no one can tell you what you do is wrong. Its what you create, and you shouldn't be stopped from doing it. Because one day, even if you are long gone, you never know, someone might come along and pick up where you left off and finish it. Hey who knows though, better keep working at it though.
