/lit/ - Literature

I used to be a writer. I used to write all the time - short stories and poetry and stuff. I made my living as a writer and during our lunch breaks some of my colleagues and I would hold writing workshops, reading and critiquing our personal works.
That was a good time in my life. I had hopes then. I had dreams then. But it's been ten long years and I've had those dreams crushed out of me like toothpaste from the tube.
