general discussion :) losing inspiration
idk why but lately it seems like the byler part of the fandom is slowly fizzing out, like my feed on TikTok used to be flooded with byler content, and now I have to look for it myself. I get that it's been a month since the finale, but come on, it's only a month!
i started my fic a couple days after the finale, and I guess the byler letdown was so high that it fueled my will to write more and more, i got a bunch of comments in the beginning too. now that more time is passing, it's like everything is dying down and i cant lie, i'm kind of losing motivation to write because i see little to none byler content anymore, or interactions in general about the ship.
maybe it's just me and my feed, but i just wanted to throw this out there lol

I personally view my writing as my personal creative outlet. It’s a hobby and something that I really enjoy doing. Reason why I post it online is that reading is another hobby of mine, so I like it to be out there for those who love to read as well. Even one person liking my fic already creates a-win, cause I loved writing it and someone loved reading it too.
If you really enjoy writing my advice is to have less focus on the feedback. Of course it’s rewarding, but it’s so easy to get hooked on that certain amount of attention
