βWrite it so that people hear it and it slides through the brain and goes straight to the heart.β β Maya Angelou
You starting another story?
no, Iβm just working in a new document
i keep jumping around what scenes i write
Ah I see
I do that a lot.
But more in a loose sequential order of major events in the story
When Iβm tired of working on the next scene, I work on redoing the beginning. But oftentimes I canβt concentrate if Iβm writing between two walls of text so sometimes I create a new document and paste it back in later or Iβll click the enter key fifty million times below it so it seems like thereβs nothing below what Iβve written

any ideas on what to do when you're idea bankrupt?
Set a timer and free write whatever comes to mind, even if it's the same word again and again. At some point, your brain will get board and figure something else out. Or get a set of random words, do the above, but try to incorporate the ransom words in somehow.
i finally write something this year
this is the first poem i wrote for 2021. i'm not satisfied with the ending, so if anybody have any suggestions/criticisms, i'm open to receive them
Well, I think you just summed up like 90% of humanity in a poem. Impressive.
I'm meh about most poetry, including the dreck that I write. I'm impressed with this. Nice work.
i'm not so good at it, too. usually it goes where it goes. thank you for your compliment π
Call it like I see it.
I really like this poem as it sums up a lot of people
in a good way
we're always pushed to be the best and honestly, I can respect the people who are just like this; who simply want a simple life
Thank you π π π
Read, read, read. Think. And make notes. The goal is to actively add to your subconscious.
Take your social media pages and kill them with fire. Revive only if you have solid ideas.
It looks really good! Why do you feel unsatisfied with the ending? I know itβs a stupid question and you probably know why, but sometimes I find it helps to ask why Iβm not satisfied with something or donβt feel itβs good enough. Personally, I feel it might be that the ending doesnβt seem to fit in with the rest of the poem, but thatβs just me.
yeah. i think i haven't explored the ending fully yet. like i want to expand on the idea that "what if i want a simple life because i am not willing to change" -- although it may seems out of topic since the first two parts are about "dreaming of simple things"
