Yep I know. Same can be said about American south and many other sceneries. I ain't tryna write about the war itself tho (fuck that greasy murciano who wrote Un Abuelo Rojo, Un Abuelo Facha, Un Nieto Subnormal, can't remember his name), I guess I could tell the same story with a GRAPO cell in the eighties.

Main character is impotent and has to deal with the realization that he failed at the one thing he exists to do and that he'd never see the fruits of his labor even if he didn't fail. Ends up ruining the ship and sending it off course.

>tfw I got so many ideas and I start writing a basic outline and maybe actually write a page's worth then anxiety sets in and I'm afraid of doing anything with it because it's most likely gonna end up shit. Then I drop it, eventually I get a new idea and the cycle continues.
How do I do it? How do I start writing seriously? And how do I not make it absolute dogshit?

It takes time bro. The idea for your story or book should burn in your belly and it'll make you WANT to put aside other things to create something of your own. This will mean less social outings and Vidya but if you truly want to get started, then block off some time without distractions, turn off the phone or internet and sit down for a set period of time and put some words on paper. It's tough at first and your first draft is going to be shit but that's ok it's part of the process and editing will make it less shitty. Once you find your groove you'll be on your way to earning the title of writer. Lots of people want to be writers but don't want to take the time or put out the effort to get the final product. Like anything in life, If you really want something you have to step outside of your comfort zone and work for it. What's it going to be? Are you going to be like the other shitposters who TALK about writing or will you take the plunge and become a writer? I have every confidence you can do anything you put your mind to. So take a moment and decide when you're going to start writing. Or you can have an endless online back and forth with the meme lords contained in the literary section of a Burmese pet trading site. Your choice.

I'm afraid I might have a million dollar idea that I simply screw up because I'm inexperienced, and so I keep putting it off while promising myself I'll get to it eventually. But you're right man, I gotta start somewhere. Thanks

>>9084843
There's a saying that "the richest places on earth are cemeteries" because people never take a chance on chasing a dream and end up taking their million dollar ideas to the grave with them instead of daring to succeed.

I was gonna title my work Muddy Max (about a hitman), then I looked up the title and it's a fucking kids book. Fuck me.

I've heard a few people say to write about what you know.

just came up with this plot, what do you guys think?
A skilled and successful fanfic writer in his early 30s has a midlife crisis when he realises his early ambitions of being a recognised author were put on hold in favour of a stable income, in the form of a hobby stemming from personal sexual fetishes. He abandons fanfic in an attempt to write “serious literature” but after having only succeeded in wasting his money to fund a vanity published short story, he realizes he’ll never be successful because he squalored the talent and ambition he had growing up. had He hangs himself after writing a melodramatic suicide note.

I'm writing a 3rd part to the song "Two Headed Boy" in the form of a short story

>>9085619

Pros:

>Visually stunning; worth watching for Nyra alone. The way she is designed and animated is so fucking hot.

>Great voice acting.

>Great score.

>Kludd gets better characterization.

Cons:

>The story is heavily altered.

>Significantly less violence.

>Ultra-grimdark tone is gone.

>No epic Saw-with-owls Siege flashback.

Still a good film; watch it for Nyra (my fanfic is about her).
