A Zootopia fanfic a week!

General
Hey all!
Been a rreeeeaaaalllllyyyyyy long time. So, long things short, I had picked up a ton of unhelpful mental habits after having gone through the abusive relationship with my ex, which lead to lots of procrastination and an excessive focus on negative stuff, and how to avoid it. This has left me with rather little to make life happier and better, and I hadn't really tried to make things "better" so much as "less bad".
To try and combat that I'm changing a lot of habits.To cut down time procrastinating on reddit and arguing with strangers, I'm making myself write one short Zootopia fanfic a week, to be published every Friday. I had kind of forgotten I wanted to post on here as well, which is why today I'm a day late haha.
This focus on creating new and positive stuff, as well as interacting with people regarding this positive stuff which I like, will hopefully help me kickstart back my creative drive, and help me be happier.
The series I'm starting will be called Paws and Claws and Teeth and Tails, and will be a series of random stories as they come to mind. I had wanted to write a bit story with great plot, character development, and all the bells and whistles, but my anxiety and fear of failure kept me from writing it, and I didn't want to write random short stories in case that would "steal" an idea I could have used in the main story.
Well, enough of that, I'm just throwing myself at writing and trying to get things out again. I'm changing my habits to be more in line with the kind of person I want to be.
I hope you will all enjoy the fanfics, and I'll leave you with two quotes:
It is by writing that one becomes a writer.
---French proverb
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not a virtue, but a habit.
---Aristotle.
