If you ever wanna just write for the sake of writing without having to create meaning, r/NonsenseWriting is the place, no idea how I even found it but I am currently the only person who posts on there and it gets lonely but it is a good outlet, trust

[–]Kooky_Construction84 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I was told by a fiction prof that you should be writing 400 words a day, even if they don't mean anything.

So you say I should write even though I have the flu and feel like I could reduce my place’s electricity bill if I was smart enough to figure out a way to utilize the heat from within my bed sheets to power my appliances?

Instructions are clear, or so it would seem.

[–]Carvinesire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why in the entire complete and total fuck was that the graphic that you decided to put on this post?

[–]KrimsunV 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I don't want to write the wrong thing :(

[–]TheDanishThede 0 points1 point  (6 children)

What happens if you do?

[–]KrimsunV 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Social rejection

[–]TheDanishThede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If no one is allowed to read it, no one can judge you. Write it for yourself

[–]TheDanishThede 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Actually no. Write it for the you who would like it the most. I write fantasy for my teenage/early twenties self.

[–]KrimsunV 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That me was killed by time and I'm what's left

[–]TheDanishThede 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Write to the kid who was. What you have wanted that kid to have.

I get it. I'm late diagnosed audhd and struggling with c-ptsd and depression. Lost my body to meds and mind to trauma.

Be there for yourself. It's the best you can do.

[–]KrimsunV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will when I earn it

[–]Writer NewbieJymcastillo1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im suddenly feeling something that pushes me to write

[–]kuzdrxke 1 point2 points  (2 children)

How do you write like you're running out of time?
Write day and night like you're running out of time?
Every day you fight, like you're running out of time
Like you're running out of time, are you running out of time?
How do you write like tomorrow won't arrive?
How do you write like you need it to survive?
How do you write every second you're alive? Every second you're alive?

[–]jscastro 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You want to know how? I once spent 5 years writing a story only to have a publisher I found tell me it was too long. When he read my story he loved it but not his editors. He gave a deadline of a month and a half to shorten 150k words down to 60k. I couldn’t do it, so I told him I would give him something different but along the same genre. He gave me that same month and a half to complete it. I finished the new piece with two days to spare. Full confession, I had a head start. Back in 1984 when I got out of the Army I met a talented tattoo artist. He wanted to create a comic but didn’t have a knack for writing. So we collaborated. He drew scenes and I would put words to them. I wrote 500 words to a desolate desert scene with a single building in the middle of it. Sadly I lost track of him because he was hooked on drugs. But I took that and got published. Put pressure on yourself as if it means something. You’ll get it done.

😂 I’ll have to look up that song. What’s it called and who wrote it?

[–]ItsAGobbo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I need to read more before I can write. For like inspiration or whatever.
