stop posting tryhard journal entries your friends awkwardly approved of because they didn't know what to tell you.

We're all cynical bastards here but you'll have to do more than come up than angsty journal entries if you want to put out something worthwhile in regards to your writing. Its one thing to have a bit of an autobiographical tinge in something you write, but you have to dissociate your writing from your personal moment to moment feels or you won't have any leeway to self-innovate or do something as simple as write stuff for a character that isn't a self-insert. You should also know what you are trying to write, even if just vaguely.
