How do I possibly come across as less desperate when that's what I am? Do I need to meditate more?

The most success I've ever had getting any of my writing read was when I was a fanfic writer back in the day. My original fiction and my poetry have had tepid reader bases at best. This is driving me insane. I think I've vastly improved as a writer since my days of writing fanfiction, and I didn't know anything about poetry back then so I've improved as a poet as well. Yet, to this day, the things I've written that have the biggest reader bases are my fanfics. They STILL get attention, to this day.

It's kind of depressing for me as a writer.

>the flood that destroyed Atlantis was the Deluge

Fuck, why did I never make this connection before? It's so obvious in hindsight. And it implies that Atlantis itself was a society that had contact with the Nephilim/Watchers, which would explain the longstanding belief that they had wildly advanced tech.

I am increasingly reaching the point where I feel a strong urge to see the world plunge into mass bloodshed. Another world war, or a civil war in a major place like France or China or the United States. Maybe Fukuyama is right, and sheer boredom will be the thing that restarts history. I don't want to stagnate. I don't want the world to chug into a hazy future in a dull stupor. I want drama and passion in teh world again, and I feel increasingly like I want it even if the cost of it is a mountain of skulls.

Crypto is rallying and I can't fucking buy any of it because I haven't received my student loan refunds yet. Fuck me.

I have the uncomfortable mental image of Rosie Cotton's cute, hairy toes curling in delight as Sam plows her senseless.

It makes me feel terrible, as though I have done something unholy. Tolkien would be very disappointed with me.
