Season's greetings, Satan!
but you just wrote something.
do you care about the subject matter?

oh it's 19 pages. I thought it was one of my better works
I really hope that's the final draft, I can't remember.
Me too, but it's hard to find a ghostwriter who's willing to do all the work and let you take the credit when you're not already famous.
Ive restarted four different books at least twice
I usually get two or three chapters into a thing before I give up
Also some of my ideas may be better suited to comic books than a novel
but, as mentioned, bad student

Yeah, I sometimes get that notion too. My problem is just that I can't draw to save my life, and I really have no idea how I'd find someone who can.
Are we the same person?
What did you have for supper?
Writing is one of my biggest points of self-loathing, because everyone says I'm amazing at it, yet I can't bring myself to do it outside of a couple venues like online roleplaying.
My technical writing for work gets shredded because I tend to get wordy even when I'm trying to be succinct, because I believe the why is as important as the how in my position.
I am so incredibly jealous of my friend and former classmate who got his first book published and is passing the 100k word mark on his 3rd novel in the series. Sure, he got dicked around for a year while it got published, but at least he's put creative work out there!
... God damnit if I could get up the courage to write something someday and actually put this mountain of debt to use.

Through some peanuts around the art building of your nearest college.
Oh and set-up a snare trap.
Snare trap + peanuts = getting yourself an artist.

Your move doppelganger
I've found when people say they can't write it's because they are their own worst enemy.
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{My Rambling Blog}
I can't take all the credit, your mum wrote half of it.
Season's greetings, Satan!
her vibrator wrote the other half.
I've been using the same screenname, in almost all my online dealings, for 17 years now. I have a bit of a history so to speak. Or at least my mind thinks I do. Stupid thing plays tricks on me and makes me get all judgmental of my writing.
True story: When I first came to this forum (I just got my 9 year badge), I used to post in extremely long, multi-paragraph ramblings on my naive views on the world. I also used to sign my posts above the signature. I got yelled at for that.
... Good lord I'm carrying around a lot of baggage.

proudest moment of middle school, right there. also holds the record for "most horrified looks I've ever received"
I had some motor oil, it's all we eat in Doppelgangsvania-wait a minute
I don't do it nearly enough, and am constantly ashamed and in the middle of some other effort to invigorate myself in that department. used to do short fiction mostly.
Right now I'm working on a board game, though, and it's offering some opportunities to write little thangs: players choose light-hearted fantasy/medieval congressional districts, and each district will have a short little history, sort of along the lines of an overly verbose ME-style codex entry
here are some first-draft examples which are mostly series of ideas of me figuring out what I want each district to be right now
district 1
district 3
Though their annexation was met with fierce resistance, once defeated militarily they succinctly submitted to and have since unilaterally accepted the burdens of The Crown. The miners have proven themselves to be dutiful and cooperative, though officers of The Crown sent to oversee production corroborate that they, in no uncertain terms, loathe each officer of The Crown sent to oversee production. But the flow of gold from the mountains has remained uninterrupted for several years, and so long as the locals’ affairs are left unmolested, incident is unforeseeable. (The notable footnote here being the visitation of Crown Ambassador Harlow Grafton, who thought it fatherly and quaint to take up a pickaxe and endure a day’s work in the mines. He was rewarded for his perceived condescension with the dubious distinction of being the first outsider to both die and be briefly interred in the mines, though he was later dragged out and returned to the embassy at his family’s request.)
district 6
hahaha
yeah, there's a reason I chose a different screen name from my usual for posting on here
I'm kinda loving this inter-forum raid thread, but seriously, come play with us word nerds, nerds

Everyone is.
Some of us are just a tiny bit better at hiding it. I'm eternally grateful that the first forum I was ever on no longer exists. I've got some humiliating stuff hidden on extant sites, sure, but thinking back to then... yeah.
As for the topic? Trying to write. Got something on Medium Difficulty a bit back, hammering out some stuff in private that probably won't amount to anything. Writer's Block up north a ways in the forum is an excellent resource, as is "On Writing". Think I've got some natural talent, but there's only a few freaks of nature who can coast on talent. Know I'm nowhere near that good. So, yeah. Just trying to get better.
My players, mind you, who spent 3 and a half hours of a 4 hour session chasing the red herring I threw out in the first 10 minutes, despite multiple times goading them onto the right place. Though it did lead to my favorite moment in any game I've ever run before:
<P1> "I go off and find a hooker for the night."
<Me> "Allright.. *Rolls* Okay, everyone, what does [P1] see when he wakes up?"
<P2> "A man!"
<P3> "A goat!"
<P1> "A sexy woman?"
<Me> "Alright, alright. [P1], you open your eyes to find a satyr."
That satyr ended up being the Agent Coulson of my Shadowrun universe. A very effeminate, fae little satyr who could scare the crap out of my players when it was needed, and not just with a Barrett 50-cal sniper rifle.
(My second fav character was the smuggler mechanic with the flourescent neon purple dreadlocks. Because flourescent neon purple dreadlock cyberware is just awesome. He also worked with the satyr.)

i posted things
it's okay
let your words be heard, brother
bad ones
I studied the Hemingway school of writing.
No seriously. My senior seminar at university was run by a published, accredited, and kickass Hemingway scholar. Our final papers to graduate involved dissecting various drafts of his writing to see how he came to the final product, and analyzing what every change meant to the narrative tone, flow, and theme. My personal paper involved me indexing no fewer than 4 different drafts.
God, what I wouldn't give to have a Kerouac-like adventure at least once in my life.
