How to say it...
Perhaps unpracticed would be a better word?
I have, in my opinion, written better before but I don't write too often, and skill suffers entropy with disuse. Also don't quite seem to be in the groove of writing that I normally am when I attempt to write things. But if I wait for moments where I feel at my best there would be months between anything getting done
Though it is only one chapter I've written
Without a Beacon to Guide Them A piece of RWBY fanfiction, as well as a few chapters of a story (what you are in the Dark) based on the Accidental magical girl CYOA, though I wrote it in NSFW section of QQ so I won't link (mainly because I meant for darker themes not because I intended anything sexual). I think both of those were better written? Not by any means phenomenal but I hope that improvements will come with practice.
Problem is that lack of comments kills my motivation when I write things so despite getting favourites and follows on fanfiction.net the lack of a reviews made it so that despite the fact that I have had the second chapter nearly done I can never bring myself to finish it, and I similarly can't finish What you Are in the Dark when the last chapter lacked comments.
It is a bit messed up but I just can't push myself forward.
Which is precisely why I choose to do a quest this time around. Hoping to get back in the Groove of writing and if people don't comment on a quest, it naturally cannot progress, and at least I'd know for sure that it is because of a lack of interest rather than the readers just deciding to not comment on the current chapter.
Ironically, despite the fact that I choose Sasaki's sword and the killing stone because of the Fate series, I completely didn't make the connection with how Kasen being summoned via reagent was similar to how servants are summoned XD.
