I want to write

OP here. This is sort of why I'm inspired to write sci-fi/fantasy, but then I feel like it's too childish and I won't be taken seriously.

Then again, J.K. Rowling made millions.

What have you written about in the past?

Honestly just write what you want, regardless of the genre. Personally I think SciFi is respected enough here and the real world, however fantasy not so much.

Sci-fi, fantasy, a bit of realistic fiction that explored themes that I was experiencing in my own life through the eyes of a fictional character.

Whatever I was in the mood for, generally.

b. is gay

Sounds pretty gay, I'd suggest writing about gigantic blue worms that eat human memories and shoot lightning bolts at spaceships piloted by robots instead

HP is shit, and only SJWs take it seriously nowadays

Why do you even want to write?

It's not like you have write about history, just nigger ideas and concepts from it.

If you worry about being taken seriously, you'll never will be either way. Might as well write some crap for your own enjoyment.

>however fantasy not so much
Outside of the GoT hype train and all the LOTR oscars?

>take it seriously
What the fuck does it even mean in the context? It's a book for children, you're not supposed to take it seriously. Nor is it really progressive either.

Papa gave some good advice.

"Sometimes when I was starting a new story and I could not get it going, I would sit in front of the fire and squeeze the peel of the little oranges into the edge of the flame and watch the sputter of blue that they made. I would stand and look out over the roofs of Paris and think, "Do not worry. You have always written before and you will write now. All you have to do is write one true sentence. Write the truest sentence that you know." So finally I would write one true sentence, and then go on from there. It was easy then because there was always one true sentence that I knew or had seen or had heard someone say. If I started to write elaborately, or like someone introducing or presenting something, I found that I could cut that scrollwork or ornament out and throw it away and start with the first true simple declarative sentence I had written."

Ugh

>pepe is passé.
pepe is immortal. he's essentially the mascot of the internet. as long as the internet is here, he will be as well

>why do I want to write

I express myself well through writing. I also enjoy the idea of telling stories and creating worlds. I've also had a gift for writing all my life, as attested to by my teachers since I was young.

Got a good one here: girl's ping pong academy, but it's all about some play that people can't stop watching and shit.

yeah this, but deep because they're like, totally like "sad"

Then don't.

Brilliant. OP should call it "Bulbous Chest", or something along the lines of that.

three weeks nofap

you'll think of something

I pirate and read texts on my Kindle, and then I buy books to put on my shelf. The books contain texts I've already read, and are second hand, to appear used, as if I did read them. I don't, since I already read the digital version. Of course I only buy the physical copies of books I want others seeing I read, the sophisticated texts, the non-fiction and the classics. The rest, which makes up the majority of my reading, stays digital. Nobody sees my collection, as I don't go out and don't meet people, but if they did, they'd see a picture of me the way I wish I was. A sophisticated man reading Plato on the chair next to the window until the cover is about to fall off, and not a lonely guy reading Warcraft novelizations in bed with one hand on his crotch.

I hope you know that viewing sexual stimuli is associated with greater sexual responsiveness, and there is currently no evidence for the proclaimed benefits of "no fap".

Is this a question or a statement? I mean, I can give you 50 subjects on what to write about but you're probably just going to say 'no'. Want to know why you're going to say no? Because these are probably going to be empty subjects for you. If you're not passionate about what you write it is probably going to suck anyway so you're better of not writing and focus on something different until you get inspiration on what to write. I bet you wear Fedora hats too. Fuck me.

Yep, porn is a Jewish conspiracy designed to turn us into mindless zombies!

>addict in denial

Never feel the need to confine yourself to a specific form. Try writing scenes,disconnected from any actual narrative,but embracing the space in your descriptions, the characterizations of your players,and the moments of their actions. Getting Something on paper is the goal,and later you can reread what you have and then decide on a structure that might fit the bits.

But I want to.

>he's essentially the mascot of the internet
They said the same shit about pic related. Memes have a short shelf life. They always have and always will. In about a year, we're going to have a new shitposting icon and Pepe will be left in the dust.

The death and decline of the West?

Force yourself to write 200 crappy words a day.

Why don't you write about that?

>I express myself well through writing.

But you have nothing to express.

>I also enjoy the idea of telling stories and creating worlds.

You have no story to tell, nor worlds to create.

>I've also had a gift for writing all my life,

Hard to believe when you're stuck at step one

The literary world is full of people who "wanted to be writers". Please, please, please, wait until you have something to write about.

Get some life experience.

Grab a cheap book that you know is shit. Then rewrite it.

>"I want to write."
>Decides to shitpost on Veeky Forums instead.

You don't want to write.

bump

then for the sake of writing

what made you bump this thread?

you are a brainlet. sorry to break it to you.

try reading some books, paying attention to the news, and thinking for yourself. you'll find or concoct an idea you are passionate about, and then you'll have something to write about.

I couldn't disagree more. Everyone has at least one good story in them, they just either haven't realized it yet or realize it and don't have the skills to bring it out.

user the human experience is too personalized, too variable to say that you have nothing unique to say on it. And if you don't add something, what have you lost in it? You've written something, most people can't say that.

I have the urge to write about my life because I'm an egoistical fuck but I'm afraid of writing fiction.

Should beginners writers start with just autobiographical thoughts ?

Write about other people and their hopes, dreams, fears, etc.

Awful advice. "Life experience" is a meme and authors who rely on their autobiography for inspiration are invariably second-rate. For example, Updike, Salinger, and Hemingway.
