>still remember how hard I worked on a story called "My Dog is a Alien" in third grade
>still remember the only comment the teacher had was to not put "The End" at the end, because it was obvious it was the end

You're either a writer or you're not. You don't suddenly get to decide you're trying to be one or decide you are to be one. If you of the spirit it is parmenent wheather you pussy away from it or not

It'd still be better than trying to write poetry while drunk and depressed
Yes, that has actually happened to me

Writing some vampire rape tier shit right now and I am old. Reads like really shitty fan fiction because I am not a real writer but I do enjoy writing.

>>9870345
I never wanted to be an author but I did write short stories for fun.
>>9870706
I just wrote thinking it would be fine as long as things rhymed and it had a running tempo (most of them were meant to be read in one breath)

>>9872587
How is that bad?

>>9870345
I wrote at 8 - 9 years old little stories inspired by that one time I played Command & Conquer and I wrote the story from the perspective of the soldiers while asterisking any swearing they might have done so my mum could read it.

I also wrote the intro to the third Pokemon movie as if it were a novel with illustrations of some of the uknown pokemon.

>>9872723
how is it not?

>>9870723
that sounds like a fun third grade-core story

I remember writing a story about Crash Bandicoot being stuck in a junkyard with an old TV and he couldn't get back into his game world so the rats had helped him

>>9872587
hey dude that shit sells have you see Fifty Shades of Grey or Tokyo Ghoul

>>9870917
The year 1910 want its memes back.

At least you were willing to try back then. Look at you now faggot. Just cuz you adulted and now you think you know what makes writing good and you think you can't. You just educated yourself into a shit self conscious existence you worthless pretentious piece of shit. Fuck off and die.
