Is it bad I don't wish to publish/have a strong want too?

I do like writing but I do feel that would be a lot on me. Posting it online like AO3 is fine for me but it being published kinda makes me feel feel overwelmed

do my fellow anons feel slimar?

Like anon said, But when your writing your first draft just try to get it all on paper,

You can do what I do and make some notes on what needs to be changed and your ideas and you work them into the second draft. for the second draft I would try to not focus on the prose really but instead of the characters personitys and the plot.
You can work on the prose at this stage if you'd like. Again repeat the note making process and idea process

In the 3rd draft i'd say start working on it so you can get beta readers so you can start to focus on the prose and getting your characters personitys right so they have their own voice and mannerisms

And beyound that point just keep refining it and making notes and editing it. (Make sure to do a grammar sweep once in a while!)

Is the "We both want to date each other but I think we're better off as friends but I still dream about being with you" A good story idea anons? It seems like one of those complex relationships good for a story
