Help me, my prose is pretentious as fuck. It's just how

Just think more consciously about the tone you want to take. Everyone has that "phase" where they write in the way they think actual writing sounds, just practice.

don't write stuff and you'll be okay

Write down the "truth" in the clearest way possible , like you're talking to a third grader.

If you still think your shit is interesting after that, then start playing around.

What are you writing about?

My writing comes off exactly as my voice. This is both good and bad in that I have a hard time writing characters that don't sound like me when they speak.
