How does /lit/ come up with ideas to write about?

Generally by reading.

Any tips for remembering dreams

every morning before you start your day write the dream you had down. Even if its one word just write it down.

personal experiences and the people around me. I doubt I'm capable of writing something truly creative

Probably while reading other works and when I get hypomanic episodes.
In the shower too.
Sadly, most of my ideas arent that good and read like rip-offs of authors I read.

OVERWHELMED AS ONE WOULD BE WHEN PLACED IN MY POSITION, SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN NOW TO BE THE ONE, BORN TO EAR AND BRING TO ALL THE DETAILS OF OUR ENDING, TO WRITE IT DOWN FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE


BUT I FORGOT MY PEN,
SHIT THE BED AGAIN
