Word 2013, pirated version. Sometimes it feels like shit as my writing's so cringey that the clean interface of Word makes it even cringier. Why am I such a shit writer, /lit/? I have good thoughts and ideas sometimes but I can never express them on paper/keyboard as they always turn out too chaotic and sound like something a child would write.

I'm 25 and have never actually finished anything, not even a short story. I have a pattern of writing roughly 5-20 pages and realizing I'm not good at conveying ideas effectively and even if I could why would anyone be interested in the story I'm telling?

I can see this is the way I’m going but I can’t do anything about it. I don’t have the discipline or interest for something practical and money-making like law, business, engineering, computer science, medicine, etc. My brain just isn’t made in that rational and practical way. Why did God give me this type? Why do I love literature so much, a worthless profession which hardly anyone cares about today and which will make me no money and laughed at and pitied by more successful friends?

>literally CANNOT read any romances because can't identify with literally anyone in the story and it's always really confusing and the author prefers to spend pages describing stuff instead of actually advancing the narrative which makes the book proceed in a snail's pace
>even worse, the literature class in HS had to make us read a shitton of "historical romances" which had old words nobody uses anymore, had snail pacing and SO MUCH DESCRIPTION of stuff that wasn't needed
any brainlets here that also share this feel?
