You have to surrender to your mediocrity, and just write. Because it’s hard, really hard, to write even a crappy book. But it’s better to write a book that kind of sucks rather than no book at all, as you wait around to magically become Faulkner. No one is going to write your book for you and you can’t write anybody’s book but your own.

Which means I have posted 48 separate things in 2 months, some of them multichapter.

I must be freakin’ crazy.

And also I just want to thank each and every one of you who has read and encouraged me.

Also I have 50 works on AO3 now. Apparently Sherlock makes me prolific.

So the guys over at the BBC Sherlock Fan Forum and I were tic-tacking about things that seem to have become commonly used in Johnlock fics….

I am a big fan of the belief that there cliches really aren’t bad things, because, used correctly, a cliche can be devastatingly effective. That’s why it became a cliche in the first place. It’s just like how I actually think any genre can be written really well.

Guilty of some of these, but agree with the above comment.

I hate when I get a plot bunny and I’m not in a position to write anything. Looks like I’m running off to write a mystrade piece now.
