I gave up. Then years later I learned depression can be triggered by giving up something you really wanted, something you - perhaps subconsciously - regarded as a purpose in life and an overarching long term goal.

Now I don´t do anything.

I try to connect different themes and make it a whole, which is a challenge. It is also difficult to make it linear, but maybe that's not the point.

The goal of the writing has changed. I don't care if it ever makes it into a book, I just like the journey.

Written ~100 pages (out of planned 300, i guess), now translating first chapter to english to try find some kind of audience. Written first chapter so fucking long ago that writing looks alien to me, lol, i didn't know i could write this good.
How much do you write everyday? It seems like 1 page (ms word sized) is my limit, it starts turning into shit if i try to push 2 page. Some day long time ago i managed to write 3 pages a day, but it all was fanfics and shit.

Just started a little short story about shit in the Midwest. I've half written a short story about a guy who jumps off a bridge into the Mississippi and ends on an island thinking he's in purgatory on the river Styx.

I'm thinking maybe I can write a few more stories and have a little bit of a Midwest Mississippi short story collection. One of my short travelogues made my cousin laugh a whole lot, but that type of humor probably wouldn't go far.
