I am creatively bankrupt...I can't create a story to save

Original thoughts don't exist, you think in a language inherited from others and you think thoughts that you have learned from your culture.

Just take it easy, friend.

Don't worry about originality. Just learn to have fun writing.

I HAVE A SPECIAL BRAIN!

>mfw people expect to just shit out a masterpiece

That isn't how it works.

You have to just write every single day, and know that you very well might throw it all away. Make yourself write and eventually, there'll be gems worth keeping. You shouldn't feel any pressure, considering no one sees it unless you decide they do.

It all takes care of itself if you just fucking write consistently.

You're literally a meme machine, sorry friender.

so just write about your life then
it worked for that norwegian guy who looks like an old dave grohl
he's written six books about what a struggle his fucking life is and people seem to like them

Lots of American greats just wrote about their lives. Bukowski and Kerouac come to mind. It's how you tell the story. Finding your voice and approach that makes a story worth reading

Is that what you tell yourself in order to feed your delusion? Because if you think truly talented people are not inclined towards that talent on top of being incredibly obsessive workers and learners for said talent, then you really, really need to step into reality and realize something about yourself.

Except that thoughts are transfigured through social and individual circumstances which are transforming (the first transforming the second) constantly. Nobody has thought like us, even if we find ourselves in the great stream of thoughts and ideas, as never have these thoughts been embedded in this context and as such the ideas transform, mutate.

And but so if we were unable of original thought there would be no history of thought.

Doesn't make them not meme machines.
