[OT] Too scared to write a story | The only way to get better at something is to do it. And while it may be scary to post things here, you shouldn't really worry about it.

[CW] Write a poem in less than 100 words describing a highly emotional time in your life | For he who trembles shall not pass,
through this door of iron and glass.
Causality, a casualty, in life, and in love,
now a raven, that was once a dove.
Her memory grows faint,
and my heart grows quaint.
For he who trembled, his name is I.
When the door's shut solid, a man will cry.

[CW] Write a poem in less than 100 words describing a highly emotional time in your life | Hidden inside, blind eyes cannot see
The depression, horror and sadness of my reality
Not as bad as some may say
But it takes my life away
For all the years I have let go
My happiness has still yet to grow
This is a time for I cannot say
I lived and died during that day | 3 | 0 | 4 | 39,790 |
[CW] Write a poem in less than 100 words describing a highly emotional time in your life | I've Surrendered
Come paint my face,
And lead me away.
Show me the notes,
I’ll obey and play.
Show me the steps
I’ll never step out of line.
You’ve taken my will,
So why not take my mind.
I’ve surrendered
And don’t care.
Control me, it’s
no longer a dare.
I’m a broken,
Depressed host.

There I was, persuading the remaining to stay
He plucked a blonde hair from his body
And couldn't remember from whom it came
He kept finding love, happy change found on pavements
I was the rule, he was the exception | 2 | 0 | 4 | 39,793 |

[OT] What is one thing you would want every brand new creative writer to know? | You're gonna suck.
That's okay, though!
You'll write stuff that's cliche. Characters that make no sense. Motivations that don't gel. Continuities that loop back in on themselves.
That's okay.
The stuff you'll write is going to suck. That's okay. You have to get it all out.

[OT] What is one thing you would want every brand new creative writer to know? | For me, I often go against my gut feeling, go against my ideas, and generally have low confidence. When I trust myself, I can usually write something worth reading. When I worry about the audience, what other people are doing, fads, how you're supposed to write, etc I fail.
