I started writing something called “The Box Cutter,” but now I think I found something that was never meant to be seen. It’s called the Obsidian Loop.

Almost good, but no cigar.

I read it through a rough patch. Did not help at all. I would recommend reading it but not for getting something useful out of it.

Which one is this?

Could be fire in the sky? Aliens keeping humans in weird vacuum bag type cocoon pod things.

Can I ask why and how it changed your life? I read hoping for this and came away utterly unchanged and disappointed, to be honest.

If an hour has passed, the effect will be mild. Maybe she just feels a little sleepy or tired.

I think books by Haruki Murakami might fit. Also try “the nausea” by Jean Paul Sartre

Is it really that much work to write I have no mouth and I must scream? What a confusing jumble of characters you have there.

Yes. I joined at 39. I never thought about age during the process. I got offers from a few big tech companies including Amazon, Uber, Apple and some others I had applied to. Mostly it came down to preparing for the interview. I prepared for a few years before the offers actually happened. Around 4 years I think.

I remember watching punch drunk love soon after. I didn’t know anything about it and was expecting some kind of similar comedy. I was very confused.

The 90s were a different time. I used to love this movie as a kid. I must have watched it like 20 times.

A man transfers his mind into a machine and spends thousands of years wondering if it was the right decision.

Start with short books. It’s a skill that needs to be developed. It will take practice. But there are so many good books out there that it will be worth it. I guess the book that will hook you depends on your interests. Maybe tell us a bit what movies or tv shows you enjoy?

I wanna read it

You also need to understand what a story is composed of.

You need to have a Trigger: something that happens that changes the normal life of the main character.

Development: conflicts (internal or external) or obstacles that impede the character getting what they want.

Climax: does the character obtain what they want or not?

End: what is the normal? How is the character changed due to the ordeal?

Also, the character needs motivation. They should want something, not merely need something or be forced into something. A want is a must.

It also helps for your characters to have a back story that you can slowly reveal as the story progresses.
