You starting another story?

no, I’m 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 I’m tired of working on the next scene, I work on redoing the beginning. But oftentimes I can’t concentrate if I’m writing between two walls of text so sometimes I create a new document and paste it back in later or I’ll click the enter key fifty million times below it so it seems like there’s nothing below what I’ve 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 😊

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 😊 😊 😊

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 it’s a stupid question and you probably know why, but sometimes I find it helps to ask why I’m not satisfied with something or don’t feel it’s good enough. Personally, I feel it might be that the ending doesn’t seem to fit in with the rest of the poem, but that’s 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"

I feel like they’re pretty similar themes. As long as it’s not something really off of what the poem has said or conveyed so far, I think it can fit. But yeah, I would play around with the possibilities

i'm mucking around with it. i think i'll sleep on it for a bit more and see what else can i come up with. i've a few other scattered points that i may be able to combine with this
