You’d be all about it if YOU were Murderface.

Tfw you wake up at two in the morning and can't fall back asleep, so you pull up a story that you wrote and have been editing, and reading the story back to yourself makes you want to puke because it's hilariously awful, but then you stumble across a small segment hidden in the shit that is actually not so bad, in fact it's pretty good, which is funny because you actually thought of it as the worst part of the story as you were writing the first draft and almost deleted it, but now you consider throwing away the other 120,000 words and just turning the small segment of goodness into it's own short story.

Anyone else ever get that?

Too lazy to try to write.

I used to be pretty lazy about it, too. Best advice I ever got was to keep at it every day, no excuses. Start small, maybe setting aside just a half hour for it, or setting a realistic quota for yourself, and then work your way up from there.

Just smoke a bowl, watch cartoons for an hour and falls asleep, like a normal person.

Oriphiel · 02-17-2018, 01:35 PM

I can't do both?

Maybe I'm just a Jon Stewart smoker, but that sounds like a waste of the rest of your high.
