I think all writers need a friend who will encourage their desire to write absolute garbage. Not necessarily something that is badly written, but like, stupid self indulgent bullshit. “Cringey” aus or crossover fanfics. Aus or crossover fics of your own ocs.
Writing that stuff is fun and is great practice, but sometimes I feel like “wow, this is hardly productive, why am I even writing this, who else would ever want to read this?” The answer is your friend who encourages your trash writing, that’s who. Write it for yourself and for them.
I posted this on Twitter, but idk, my personal posts there tend to be ignore and I feel the need to vent frustration:
Guys talk like being rejected by a girl is the worst thing. But damn, I can’t even get that far, and FIND single and available women–much less have the opportunity to get rejected. Seems like every girl my age is already in a relationship. Am I searching in the wrong places? :V
I don’t think I’d honestly mind rejection so much. I’m confident I’ve got a lot to offer in a relationship, and I figure I’d find the right person eventually, so long as I keep meeting new single women. But my chances go to zero when they don’t seem to exist.
Dating sites feel like a deadzone. All I can find are painfully “normal” women who think Survivor is the pinnacle of entertainment,
I’m just feeling really frustrated. Girls my type that I can find on the internet are all taken. Girls not on the internet and are theoretically local are all normies who only know furries from that one CSI episode, and have zero interest in any cartoon that isn’t Family Guy. (Though maybe that’s just because I’m stuck in a redneck city).
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh wat do
Okay thank you for reading. Back to our regularly scheduled program
I feel this…
This is actually kind of important.
A couple of investigative journalists dug into the industry of predatory scientific publishing.
Video is just under two hours long.
It’s kind of scary to see that even some major companies are publishing in these fraudulent journals.
people keep saying “go big or go home” as if going home doesn’t sound like the best idea ever?? hell yeah i wanna go home, and i’m gonna take a nap when i get there
