Also planned are dialogues with an abrahamic angel and finally the last human after a nuclear war. Dunno if i'll add more, that's the concept for now.

I’m writing a novel about growing up in the 90s, the pains associated with such a youthful stage in life, and the pointless analogies (perspectives) and references that 90s tv shows made about each other to stay hip. Some themes:

Having my best friend’s mom me a pedophile and encourage us to play truth or dare and get naked with us

Feeling like you had to be a creep to go behind the curtain in blockbuster, only to realize in high school that it was like tinder for the lucky guys and girls that found themselves there

havi g my friend show us his moms dildos in her drawer and his dads playboy mags in the bathroom

Finding a dead body several miles from our house, spending hours to walk there just to see it and get the chance to poke it with a stick.

I have the overall picture of the story I want to write. When I first started, it was the journey of a young man who decides that it's prudent to escape from society now or he will be trapped forever. He visits a relative in the city.

I read a couple novels as I was writing this draft and it suddenly changed shape. I wanted to shift the perspective from someone who recognizes the sinister developments into society to someone who is immersed in them, and unintentionally helps them evolve and grow worse.

Then, I read a couple more novels and the tone and perspective of the story changed again. It shifted to a story about someone who had poked a hole in the membrane of the evolving society, saw the other side, and dissociated in a devastating but clarifying manner...this person recognizes the sinister developments but is no longer capable of reacting to them.

Those are the three threads. I'm skeptical that they can co-exist in one novel, but I also do not know which one is most effective in expressing what I want to say.

Neat. Human body? I only ever found dead animals. What he die of? Only humans I ever might have seen dead were hobos, and you can't really tell if they're dead or alive while they're passed out, so even if one were dead I wouldn't know just by looking. A couple have died for sure, though. Passed the memorial marker for one who used to beg outside the grocery store. He froze to death one winter.

Loving your Dazai images. I like the idea of what you're trying to capture but your writing reads a but unnaturally to me and a bit too much like Dazai's translated works in english and less like Dazai's core. My biggest issue of all, is the lack of fluidity in your writing despite the watery imagery and allusions (and even a little call to Kawabata). I don't think any of your actions are sinful or even close to sullied so maybe that's where it feels most unnatural to me. Show me your pain anon, figuratively.

Don't take my comments negatively though, they're just one person's trivial impressions right off the bat. Write more and keep us posted. More importantly, where are you from with a hot tub and snow? That sounds incredible.

Is anyone else conflicted because you want write to share your ideas and aesthetic vision but also feel alienated and that very few, if any, people understand you? Like who are you actually writing for? "Yourself" is a fine and noble answer, but I think most people would like their writing to be more than an externalization of their thoughts. I feel at times that I might be better suited to painting because the form feels easier for people to intuitively grasp, but I have very little experience in it and I don't know how well the things I want to write about would translate into a visual medium.

Thank you very much for the feedback. Yeah, they probably read exactly like the translated versions. I'm not quite good enough at Japanese yet to read his work. Can you explain the lack of fluidity a little more? If there's a problem in my writing style I'd like to address it. I do have a tendency to write too formally and it comes off as stiff; I can only ever beat it down after a few rounds of revisions. I'd like my writing to be more smooth and elegant. Is that what you mean by fluidity, or is it a different problem?
And the coffee diary sounds interesting. Do you write in English or (I guess) Japanese?
>hot tub
Rather not dox myself. Long story short, when choosing an apartment I had two choices, the regular hobo-alley apartments with no amenities at all, or, since they were on promotion sale, the new "luxury" apartments with a pool and hot tub and all in the community center. It came out to the same price. But don't be impressed--I have the smallest apartment in the complex with the worst location. It was very pleasant yesterday, though.

I fall into the same trap sometimes. I would say it's like trying to paint like a Renaissance master after being inspired by his masterpiece. But you have to start with stick figures, and then draw hands a million times, and then rigorously practice and study the craft. No amount of pure talent can result in a spontaneous masterpiece in any complex craft. You have to cultivate, enjoy the grind and learn from mistakes. If you can't stand the process, or it doesn't give you joy, maybe find another avenue of self expression.

It's not so serious as a problem, remember to take my comments with a grain of salt. I would smooth out your narrative construction so things come together somehow, otherwise you tread too close to a disjointed journal entry even if were beautifully written. Dazai's mastery of delivering raw honest emotion in clear writing is part of his charm.

I write in both regularly, it's not quite as exciting as a novel but it's fun to materialize your own systematic evolution. Your apartment sounds quite nice! Are you from the states? My area is pricey but without any amenities, so I'm a tiny bit envious.

It's half-true. It doesn't matter so much whether it's true as whether I feel it's true. The money "came" from three places, all of which are disgraceful ways to get money. Even if I type it in Japanese I bet someone else here could read it, sorry for not being specific. I wanted to have a job right now but I couldn't get one since I quit my last one, so the lie is that it's intentional time off, but I'm also not trying particularly hard to get one. Which is also awful of me. Most of my strategy is closing my eyes and wishing for someone to save me, and then finding myself in extreme positions. I think I'm fundamentally incapable of holding an honest job.

My primary issue is that I'm overwhelmingly lazy, incompetent, and dysfunctional. I'm avoidant, I drift around aimlessly and all my years of struggle have only dug my hole deeper. And there are "rocks" stacked above my head--I'm on a time limit of sorts due to financial constraints. How I'm going to make up the money will be another borderline-suicidal, extreme action on my part. If I can sell a manuscript I might save myself, I'm just not counting on having that kind of luck. I'm in the US, yes.

Thank you for your explanation, I see what you're saying now. Sorry if my post is phrased strangely, I didn't get enough sleep. Also sorry to have made you read that, it really needs an edit, but I need to get a full night of sleep first. I don't know what's wrong with me.

the last three plays I watched were weak
not the production but the text itself
I can do better
where do I start

I've begun writing what I assume will be a novella about a bookish, quiet man who can only interact with the world properly through academia, literature and the internet. He is unfulfilled and feels as though he is a ghost in the background of the world. He meets a man of the opposite character - a man of action, all muscles and striving and sex - and they become friends. The bookish man becomes obsessed with the idea of the masculine represented in his friend. His friend dies in a tragic accident of some sort and this causes the bookish man to question his beliefs about masculinity before finally coming to the conclusion that a tragic end is the only end a man of action could ever have, that it was in fact such an end that sets him apart from all the men of earth.
its gonna be really homoerotic, but there will be a female love interest for the both of them. Its set in modern times in a little town around a university where the bookish man is studying.

I write fetish short stories when I'm feeling dry on my regular short stories and the novella I just started. I can always crank out porn so it gets me back in the groove if I've been having trouble writing. I've been writing little stories about my childhood in Appalachia.

I go to the library at my university to write. In the evenings. Open 24/7, the problem is a lot of drunk students go to the quiet floor I'm on to have sex where they think nobody can find them.

I try and do at least 500 words a day. The amount isn't the important thing, what matters more is establishing the habit of writing every day.
