ahaha maybe i should make that writing filter after all

Soooooo I'm starting to think that my wee little idea to possibly/eventually turn my big bang into an original story (!!) to be read by people outside the internets (!!!!!) is not such a great idea. First, I'm constantly psyching myself out during the writing process instead of just writing, and second, Mr. Foxx has pretty much convinced me that I am not capable of writing a "true" fantasy story that's marketable, namely because I don't read enough fantasy and therefore do not have a good grasp on the genre. As he put it, "You wouldn't condone me running off to write gay love stories, would you?" Le sigh. On the one hand, I kind of think he's right? Not to mention a vast majority of my big bang story is ripping off Star Wars...but then, who doesn't rip off Star Wars? IDK IDK maybe I should just see how the whole thing pans out and then go back and reevaluate just what I want to do with it. Is it still considered YA if the characters are in their early/mid-twenties?

I really wish a story about Jon Walker, Dragonrider, wasn't causing me such existential angst.
