/lit/ - Literature

I want to write a fantasy story where there is a race of octopus people who live to be 5 and the pinnacle of civilisation that has fallen is normal humans who are the elves of the story. Who see us as basically immortal enlightened beings. Something that actually celebrates humanity not le people are a heckin virus shit that everything's peddled for the last 30 years
and no fucking prophecy bullshit

now my issue is I can't write for shit and am fatigued from generic stories that get plastered into every world but I lack any and all skill to come up with something new
