I think Im going to stop writing fiction completely.
Me writing fiction is like a right-handed person trying to write in a foriegn language with their left hand. It just doesnt go well at all, and I know writing isnt always going to be fun and satisfying but for me its something I dread now. I hate it. And the more I learn about the fiction world, and how competition is cut throat and the more I turn to hating writing, the more I realise this is not what I want to do. Even as just a side hobby.
Im going to go back to my none fiction/journalism roots. I still enjoy that even when its not fun anymore, and Im so much better at it. Ive actually had people who have wanted to read more of my stuff before, which is unimaginable to me since I switched to fiction.

Im gutted because I think sticking to one type of writing is really going to harm my already abysmal career prospects but fuck it, if I even managed to become a proffesional writer I still wouldnt like writing fiction. My problem now is what do I write about. I'll think of something hopefully.
I feel a lot more free at least.
