How can I improve my prose? I used to think when I was a teen that I just didn't have enough words but now I know that can't possibly be the case. Fundamentally, I have two issues
First, my first draft of anything is incredibly simple. Like I just describe the most basic stuff imaginable without any stylistic choices and worrying very little about descriptions. I used to do this because otherwise I would put hours into writing a few hundred words that I ultimately abandoned. But now I feel I've essentially trained myself into a very bad habit.
The other issue is that I have a real problem bringing up words and thinking visually. Like I said, I used to think I just didn't have the words. But even if I'm writing about a character looking in the fridge and I want to list shit that's inside, my brain draws a blank in connecting images I have from life to words. Instead of them coming to me naturally I have to make an effort to remember what a thing is called, even when we're talking about the simple stuff like milk or bacon.
But if I have to write nonfiction where there are very few visual images, I suddenly do incredibly well.
Is my brain broken?

Somehow I went astray, and I don't know at which point, or if there even is a point.

I'm trying to move and get a job that isn't at the family business but my mom is constantly second guessing me. Everything I tell her about my goals and plans to accomplish she throws into doubt

"I'm just worried about you", "People outside the family just want to take advantage of you". She tells me to go ask "my friends" for advice, "You do have friends don't you?" I tell her that I don't have any real friends because she would only let me have ones from her religion and I couldn't make a connection having to walk on tiptoes around that subject, "she's says that she's never forbid me from having friends outside of the congregation", I said she's never explicitly said that but made me understand that from a young age because it's not worth making friends with people who aren't saved and are going to spend an eternity in hell.

She's says that she's never said anything like that and says I'm just making it up, I tell her that she's straight up gaslighting me and that's why I need to move out. "Gaslighting!? Do you know how much I've done for you?"

>“We all know that any emotional bias -- irrespective of truth or falsity -- can be implanted by suggestion in the emotions of the young, hence the inherited traditions of an orthodox community are absolutely without evidential value.... If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences. With such an honest and inflexible openness to evidence, they could not fail to receive any real truth which might be manifesting itself around them. The fact that religionists do not follow this honourable course, but cheat at their game by invoking juvenile quasi-hypnosis, is enough to destroy their pretensions in my eyes even if their absurdity were not manifest in every other direction.”

Talking is a practical matter. One looks first at what one wants to achieve in the other, and then works towards it. Anyway, to open your mouth is to demand something, so might aswell be honest to yourself about your intentions. Another thing: talking is a way of telling a story; and there is a trick to it. The story needs to be plausible; you must be convinced of it yourself or pretend to be; and it must be a story the other person will want to believe. Also: Life is less like Brecht and more like Shakespeare, less like thinking and more like feeling. Intellectual honesty is fine in certan occasions, but, as the opportunists that we are, we should almost always focus on emotional impact - truth is the servant of feeling - truth needs not to be true: it needs to be convincing.

Ulysses
It little profits that an idle king,
By this still hearth, among these barren crags,
Match'd with an aged wife, I mete and dole
Unequal laws unto a savage race,
That hoard, and sleep, and feed, and know not me.
I cannot rest from travel: I will drink
Life to the lees: All times I have enjoy'd
Greatly, have suffer'd greatly, both with those
That loved me, and alone, on shore, and when
Thro' scudding drifts the rainy Hyades
Vext the dim sea: I am become a name;
For always roaming with a hungry heart
Much have I seen and known; cities of men
And manners, climates, councils, governments,
Myself not least, but honour'd of them all;
And drunk delight of battle with my peers,
Far on the ringing plains of windy Troy.
I am a part of all that I have met;
Yet all experience is an arch wherethro'
Gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades
For ever and forever when I move.
How dull it is to pause, to make an end,
To rust unburnish'd, not to shine in use!
As tho' to breathe were life! Life piled on life
Were all too little, and of one to me
Little remains: but every hour is saved
From that eternal silence, something more,
A bringer of new things; and vile it were
For some three suns to store and hoard myself,
And this gray spirit yearning in desire
To follow knowledge like a sinking star,
Beyond the utmost bound of human thought.

This is my son, mine own Telemachus,
To whom I leave the sceptre and the isle,—
Well-loved of me, discerning to fulfil
This labour, by slow prudence to make mild
A rugged people, and thro' soft degrees
Subdue them to the useful and the good.
Most blameless is he, centred in the sphere
Of common duties, decent not to fail
In offices of tenderness, and pay
Meet adoration to my household gods,
When I am gone. He works his work, I mine.

There lies the port; the vessel puffs her sail:
There gloom the dark, broad seas. My mariners,
Souls that have toil'd, and wrought, and thought with me—
That ever with a frolic welcome took
The thunder and the sunshine, and opposed
Free hearts, free foreheads—you and I are old;
Old age hath yet his honour and his toil;
Death closes all: but something ere the end,
Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.
The lights begin to twinkle from the rocks:
The long day wanes: the slow moon climbs: the deep
Moans round with many voices. Come, my friends,
'T is not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.
It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.
Tho' much is taken, much abides; and tho'
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I have tossed and turned and brooded for weeks about a novella I've written about a love triangle between two beautiful women and a man. I'm brooding because it ends with one of the women murdering the other in cold blood and completely getting away with it, and the novella ends with her happily married and pregnant with the man's child, and regretting absolutely nothing of what she's done.

It is the most vile and black-hearted thing I have ever written and I'm terrified to publish it, because I consider myself a pretty good and upstanding guy. Is it right, is it just, to publish depictions of evil deeds that reap rewards but no punishments? Is it an evil thing in itself to depict evil as reaping rewards? I tell myself that the particular circumstances of this story are such that it's not likely to inspire imitators. I also tell myself that the actual narration of the story does not in any way praise or applaud the victorious woman for her murder, and in fact leaves you open to the idea that she's done something horrifying. But the fact remains that within the story itself she does do a terrible thing and reap rewards from it, and suffers no consequences except a guilty heart. And I think this is deeply bothering me, because as I've moved towards publishing it I've lain awake in bed for a few nights this week. I'm debating whether or not to just abandon the story and delete it, because it seems to be bothering me on a deep and powerful level. Yet, again, is there anything wrong with depicting evil deeds resulting in rewards, as long as the narration itself doesn't endorse the acts themselves?

>Yet, again, is there anything wrong with depicting evil deeds resulting in rewards, as long as the narration itself doesn't endorse the acts themselves?

it doesn't matter if the novella you've written admonishes the woman for her deeds or not. readers can form their own conclusions about what is right or wrong in the novel based on their own personal subjectivity. supposing that you included no endorsement nor admonishment of the murder in your novel, readers would still be able to come to the conclusion that her behavior was justifiable or not.

certain personalities are probably more inclined to consider murdering competition to their spouse than others, and their personality (in this case, the extent to which they will allow others to suffer for their own gain) is that way due to factors that you as a writer do not personally control. your reader brings that baggage with them to their reading of the novel and will interpret it according to their own moral code. i think it is the case you can contribute to certain developments in your reader's lives.

you can easily imagine a woman who is reading your book who has gone through a particular set of experiences in their life such that they arrive at a sociopathy that places her own needs above others. you can then imagine that this individual leaves your book thinking "hm, i hadn't quite crossed that line in my brain and considered this line of action. i'll keep it in my memory banks for future manipulations." or, alternatively, you can imagine this person saying "wow, i now see the way that my actions are deeply harmful and deceitful to others and resolve to change my personality." whether the girl reading falls into the former or the latter category depends on the extent of their openness to change.

with any work that someone puts out, there's a capacity to change people for the worse or for the better. that's just one of the facts of human experience, that we are changed by that we consume. if you are deeply unsettled by the possibility of some sociopath being inspired by your book to murder someone you shouldn't publish it, but this is probably unlikely to happen or quite rare a possibility.

Thanks, Anon. You've put me at ease. I've also been browsing /tv/ and, believe it or not, that put me at ease, too. There's a There Will Be Blood thread up on /tv/ right now, and it made me realize. Daniel Day-Lewis' character, Daniel Plainview, is an awful, reprehensible man who does terrible things and, ultimately, gets away with all of them. Yet the movie never tries to justify his actions. His actions are left to stand to the judgment of the viewer, and there's even a certain amount of implication that the camera itself thinks the things he does are monstrous.

And if a movie as great as There Will Be Blood can do this sort of thing, why can't my shitty love triangle novella do it?

I find sex so disgusting, I can't relate at all to people who find it enjoyable or want it. How can they even be trusted when their behavior is influenced by a desire I don't experience? It's such a disgusting activity, with bodily fluids, putting your mouth on another person's genitals. I can't even fathom it. I've always been sensitive to disgust, and this is one area where it holds true. But it isn't just a physical disgust, but also a personal, emotional, and moral disgust.

I had a dream that a few people saw an approaching storm, dark clouds in the distance, and went into a large abandoned building, a school or a hospital. They started rummaging in the darkness and it turned out I was the camera in an X-Files episode. They were very curious, reading dusty documents in separate parts of the building, walking past each other without saying anything as if in a trance. The realization that something bad had happened there was steadily creeping. Finally, Mulder found himself in a totally dark room, the faintest light coming in from the hallway, and what he was reading about and putting together started happening as he was doing it: there was a cougar-like or jaguar-like demon in the building that killed a child, it came down some stairs and into the room as he was reading about it, the papers in his hands turning into the child's head, alive and aware, which he had to offer to the demon to be killed again, lest it killed him. It ended as he extended his arms, crying in a silent panic, images and feelings of canines sinking into skull and brains repeatedly flashing.

It serves only to ignite feelings of inadequacy within my mind and disappointment with this uninspired real life that unwittingly became mine.
While I was busy trying to actualize some kind of real life, real life passed me by.
Reflection was registered only to pass the time- times I failed to speak my mind.
Temerity begat a self-consciousness within me well ill-suited to the situations to arise in real life.
Numerous opportunities were to surface but not satisfy, as each offered opposed my indecision, incapability to speak, compulsion to obsess.
Well within parameters of scientific inquiry
I studied the magnetism in her eye.

The extent of mine endeavours caused me to further outlie.
Wondering if it was worth it, is it worth it,
to wholeheartedly engage in lie?
Subtle placebo, substitute for real life.
Is it an erstwhile or major concern? Lack of direction, lack of return.
Excess or moderation; which is real life?
Is most suited to efficient delivery of intellectual to be known as I.
Or immediate liberation from sloven, undedicated
amateur absent mediation currently inside worthless isolation;
is it the falsity or the perfect crystallization of real life?

Fallen short of my heroes, fallen short of my desires, wants that I wanted to conspire, to see realized, to come to fruition within my real life.
Word that most aptly describes the level of devastation within mine is total failure.
Ever try to never settle for petty real life.
From the towers of the castle of my mind
I daydream on a stormcloud without being poured out.
Less than inclined to actively participate than to fantasize.
Yet settle and inquire, were the steps that I climbed conducive to or combative against gaining the ability to connect,
to recognize inclusion correct as opposed to intrusion upon the sanctity of my individual mind.
To be included or neglect. Neglecting opposition solely for the sake of conflict.


Was I a human being all this time?
Unconsciously acting out well within the realm of real life to which not only I, but others are bound?
Does such a proposition not wholly demonstrate the totality of which I am not right?
While offering no absolutions from the sins I've spoken to through so many nights.
Isn't questioning a vital particle of mortality?
But while we were questioning did we pass on the efforts of the countless engaged in, and in some semblance fully living, real life?


Or is this unwillingness to compromise on another's terms the most certain definition of our only real life?
That we have nothing to show for it is testament to the intangible for which we felt compelled to strive,
without regard for cost, across both edge of knife.
No matter how deep it cuts or at what risk to life. We wandered through the dark in search of
Never giving up on real life.

I’m not asexual, but I don’t desire sex enough to put active effort into obtaining it. I’m certainly not going to get into a relationship just to be able to have it regularly. My view is that if someone wouldn’t want to be with me without sex then I’m not interested.

How unusual is this? I didn’t think it was that weird but the more I interact with people in my age bracket (early 20’s) the more it seems that most of them are primarily or at least largely motivated by wanting to have sex, it’s why they look for gfs, it’s why they go to the gym, it’s why they buy nice clothes.

In really short:
>Met this girl through friends
>She said to them that I was good looking
>Hang with her and those friends at a bar
>The same night she wrote to me, really cheerful, and said that she wanted to hang out with me again (she got my number from my friends)
>Went to my university city a few days, than returned
>Wrote to her for getting a drink together
>She acts all cold and says that has other things to do

I mean, maybe she actually had really something to do in this weekend, but she seemed so cold and distant... After looking like she was almost into me. She seems that doesn't really care about seeing me after saying literally that she was "happy to know me". Just why?

I'm fighting a losing battle with entropy. Everywhere it creeps in, lethal yet slow, insidious yet quiet. Everyone is in this battle of course, and some have not made it as far. In any case it's a matter of when. Of abating the severity and delaying the inevitable. In the end everything will know destruction, neutralized and flattened out into the thinnest strand of dust. You will be pulverized. Still. To fight is to live. To fight is beautiful. No matter how futile the struggle or transient or insultingly pitiful the reward if you fight you have dignity, you still exist. More than exist, you stand fiery against the night.

More and more I've been thinking him the reason for my growing frustration. Wanting to spend so much time together, at the same time wanting me to be a successful writer whilst I'm still in uni and introducing me to all those friends who are married and own houses. That's not what he's saying, that's what my brain makes of it. Of course I can't hold a candle to them - they got ten years on me and a completely different background. I'll skip the so-called threeway date to write another song, I'll refuse kids, I'll marry a beautiful woman and we'll live in a rented flat or shack or a studio with a shared bathroom and I'll be the happiest I'll ever be.

Today, I was suffering a period of touch deprivation. I was dying for the warm cuddles in bed again. It had only been four months since I brought my ex back across the country to her home, but the loneliness was killing me.

One day, I was microwaving some pancakes I recently made. I suck at making pancakes- I just can't figure out how to make them right. The ones I made this time came out thick and leathery, but because I didn't want to waste them I figured I'd eat them.

When I pulled them out of the microwave, I noticed how much they felt like a person's flesh. They felt warm, and they're leathery quality gave them a texture not unlike skin. I suddenly had a horrible idea.

No one was home. It was just me, myself, I, and two pancakes on a plate. I decided to go through with my idea.

I dropped my pants while I was on the couch, and wrapped my two warm pancakes over my already erect plaything. I beat not just my breakfast sausage, but my pancakes as well. The more I got into it, the more the crumbs flew. I tore those pancakes a new one. Within a few minutes, I spread my frosting all over those sad, sad pancakes.

I felt pretty guilty afterwards. I just wasted two mediocre pancakes to try and stave off my deep feelings of loneliness. I made sure to clean the crumbs up thoroughly and tossed the pancakes in the trash, where no one would see them. I skipped lunch that day because I wasted that one meal.

How do you get over women who you could never even find a suitable enough 3dpd replacement you could settle for after accepting the unrealistic perfection in fictional depictions because they literally can not be real?

While I'm replying to this post to expand on another anon's take on the joke this is basically what had been on my mind lately anyway. For almost a month now probably and I doubt I will shake the feeling any time soon. I keep trying to find people who at least share the feeling but I have had very little luck with getting contact that lasts longer than a few emails out of people.
I would settle for something new to read with themes of love and admiration for a non-human entity, or even just works which describe the aesthetics I like in a neutral or positive tone but generally it is only written about as horror.
Image related spoilered for intense cringe. Maybe I should go write my feelings in a notepad so I can copy paste them next time someone asks 'what do you mean you don't know people that share your tastes anon?'

The fact that you think youre different in some kind of way is the subconscious poison causing this.
Your body language is off, your gait. Microemotions your face shows. All these things reveal to others that it isn't the fact that you're different, but that you're not happy with who you are.

I think that friendship doesn't truly exist.
There are many anons here that yearn to have a group of friends, but I wouldn't say they are missing out so much.
I don't know about you, but when I used to be friendless I was scared of making new connections because I imagined friendships required such a deep and complex understanding and appreciation of each other's feelings that there was no way I wouldn't fuck it up. Then I discovered that by just saying hi, talking a bit and telling jokes you read on the internet you could get people to get used to your presence. I couldn't fucking believe that there wasn't anything else to it, but that was it. Worst of all, I can't help but feel that this applies to everyone else's friends: a person you hang out with for long enough that their presence is acknowledged. It makes me think that people only interact with each other to momentarily forget how incredibly alone we truly are.
I know that i shouldn't lament something that never existed in the first place, but it still hurts so much. I've felt empty and selfish for my entire life and wanted to find someone who could show me the way, but in everyone I look I find the same emptiness.

I know it is very presumptuous to assume that everyone is as unauthentic as I am, but that's the way I genuinely feel.

very much something i agree with. maybe some people can't reach a level of introspection where they realize they're only connecting with other people on a superficial level at almost any given time. I seem to expect to be able to completely align my feelings and thoughts with someone before i call them my "friend" but now that i think about it i really haven't had any "friends" in all my life even though i'm speaking to people every day. not even my parents and sister know/understand most of the things i experience on a daily basis and they're genetically similar. so how would i expect a person with a different history and a mind that processes the world in a possibly completely different manner to understand me on that level? i need to get outside my own head
