I’m currently suffering at work. Legally they are not obligated to give us 15 minute breaks. We can take “breaks” when there’s no chores or customers, and customers can walk in at any time, interrupting the “break”.

Reading this thread. :P
I’ve been fiction writing more lately, some novel-length project ideas brewing mostly in my head at this stage, but still haven’t nailed down what I want to commit time to. I’ve long wanted to do a fictional representation of revolutionary struggle that is not, like… derailed by things like liberal idealism, “great man theory” over-emphasis on a “hero” main character, skating over the details and downplaying how much logistical complexity goes into it, using it as a cheap vehicle for a romance plot, stuff like that. Various problems that have plagued me in past story drafts of one concept or another. My standards are probably a bit high, but in general, I want it to be something that inspires and teaches people meaningfully, rather than being so divorced from reality that it might as well be about dragons and magic. Cause if all it’s gonna end up as is entertaining, I might as well go for a concept that’s easier for me to write than something I’ve never actually lived through (a successful revolution).
That is interesting. I like to write too, but it is less deep than yours haha. I hope you write something great. I know the hardest part of writing is thinking of what to write about.
Thanks, I wish you the best with your writing as well. And yeah, the blank page can really be intimidating, as some people put it. The interesting thing is when I briefly had a job that involved writing, the format of it had me doing more setup on plot and characters than I’d normally tend to do, but I think it also made a difference in allowing me to sort of “improvise on guidelines” rather than get lost in unguided twists and turns.
