The short stories of Joyce Carol Oates makes me feel like I'm 12 years old climbing the rope in gym class. The content itself isn't sexual, unless it's repulsively sexual. But just knowing she wrote them and that they're so ...smart. And good. And twisted. Make me feel sexual towards JCO in real life.

How does one cope with the fact that in all aspects but prose, 120 Days of Sodom could be considered a hallmark of Gothic fiction?

Don't look into it but I used to get hella laid back in the day.

I want to start writing a story but I'm too scared to, I keep thinking it's going to be extremely cringe/dogshit but I know that you have to start somewhere and be shit at the start anyway but I just don't have the guts to start. How do I get around this? Has anybody else had this problem before and overcome it?

OP has a point..

Life is so boring and pointless.

Life as an ugly beta male is a scam.

I tell myself I'll stop binging on junk food but then I try to imagine not eating ice cream and it feels so bad.

I can't fucking wait for it to "only" be in the mid 20 degrees tomorrow.

One of my coworkers is a literal GigaStacey and it's depressilising.

Just as I'm writing this post I've decided to skip the gym today. I'm not feeling at my best because of missed sleep. I'll just imagine myself as those tabloid pictures of fat Leo DiCaprio or Elon Musk ("H-heh, j-just like me...") tomorrow.

Well... you see... I'm sorta... I'm kinda... in between jobs at the minute.

I matched with girl on tinder who works in publishing. I half-jokyingly said "great so you can publish my future novel now :)" . She answered that it all depends on novel. I wonder should I show her my writings? I am kinda embarassed , many people dislike it, its on pretty controversial topic (not racist or misogynist but its related to drugs). I don't know, what worst an happen? She can laugh me off? Or she will advice me to kill mself? What would you do? I don't have full novel yet just first chapter
