I did this and watched from afar, but got caught out big time.

if you are not using your skills to perform for your wife, what is the point?

Big wave. The biggest ever. Sorry.

It is my default salve to an incredibly depressed mood, so I might give this a go for once....

Studying creative writing at uni was supposed to help with this, but only one person likes my stuff. I can't even talk to them about writing much, because almost every element of their writing is opposite to mine.

I am in a really weird spot where my writing is really good, but I don't have anything published.
I would feel bothersome reaching out to published authors, but also can't get what I need from casual writers.

I desperately need writer friends to talk to about writing and share stuff with.
I am working on an extremely complex novel to write, and someone to bounce things off would be invaluable.

This is true, but I also mean for Sitting Down and Working time.
I find it easier to write for an hour lounging on a sofa with my phone than sat at my desk.

Editing is way better at my pc but as for new writing, it is SO much easier to just do it on my phone.

I am so much more productive writing my stories on my phone, rather than my large monitor and expensive keyboard.
Why.

oh no what happened?
did the turkey burn?
did a tree fall on someone?
did the presents get lost in a fire?

You got me so bad, I post very nearly like this whenever I comment on/argue over any discourse.
I was angrily posting like this earlier today 😭

I like it when you make references that I need to investigate to understand

you are!
my cinnamon!

I need to take after cinny more and be more proactive with my feelings and honesty.
I just need to be more proactive in general.

I think I give off closed book vibes, but am in fact the most openable book ever.
I have a philosophy of open honesty about everything, you just need to let me know you want that. Crack the book open.

This is probably going to end up being my first completed novel, but at great cost to my sanity.
My greatest strength and weakness is that I never make anything easy or simple for myself.

It is written from the perspective of a truly insane lesbian mind controlling an entire workforce. She has a near-omniscient perspective through their minds.
There are other perspective characters who are getting fucked with and manipulated.

Writing my best story ever by far but I can't quite get it right because the technique required to pull off the concept at all is so fucking complex and experimental.

Every one of my friends who has read my writing has loved it, too. This isn't something I can train to overcome, exactly.

I don't want to have to guilt people into engaging with my art. That would feel awful and likely fail. And I get why people don't. I just wish they would be honest.

Everyone always asks to read our writing, but only like 15% of people ever actually do.
Why can't I have chosen an artform that doesn't require people to put effort in to experience. I feel like a nuisance.
I have so many clever and creative friends, but they so rarely engage with my stuff :(

I feel lost without my drive to create. I can't even work on the fun stuff, let alone the boring uni stuff I need to do.

I thought it was because I was depressed and lonely and stuck ill in my room for weeks on end. But I just had a great week of socialising and feel the same emptiness over my writing. Maybe my brain needs to settle.

I am in a weird slump where I don't feel like my writing is any good.
I need someone fresh to read one of my stories to maybe spark it again.

We should all never talk about disliking anything in case it impacts the margins of a shareholder somewhere out there.

you watched Soul AGAIN?

but I think you are cool...

They are both great but halloumi fries are just so much better.....

a very worthy cause
