I gave up writing. if you're not getting paid then it's a silly hobby. If I want to waste time I can play video games and have more fun.

I write short stories based around my more interesting dreams, I could perhaps release the better ones as part of a collection or something. They're just something I do for fun though.

Wow, that's some exciting new literary genius right there. Who ever came up with that is probably literally Ernest Hemingway.

>> No.4029764

I have a few ideas for books, but Im just jotting them down for right now. I wanna be exposed to more writing first, then sit down and write a good story. All the best books clearly have a lot of thought put into them so I wanna map out the whole setting and plot and characters before I make them come to life.

It's going to require a great deal of effort and brainstorming can be one of the most difficult parts, so I'm trying not to lose any ideas that have potential and will narrow it all down when I start writing.

That is my serious writing, of course, in the meantime I might write a few silly stories for entertainment.
