I'm using Feedbin right now but don't know if I'll stick with it.

 

Hey all.

I've been writing a novel recently - I'm only 2200 words in. It feels like so little and so much at the same time.

Until I graduated college, I loved writing. Reading, too. Then, it feels like my ADHD got much worse and I lost all the passion I had for both. I had about a year of really intense depression while trying to find my first job during COVID. I had basically written nothing for almost three years up until recently. I started, and did not finish, a short story, and am working now on this "novel". The problem is that I love writing in the abstract, I love putting words together in interesting ways and telling a story. But I can't stop looking at the word count and feeling hopeless. I can't stop feeling like there's no point to any of it because my writing is shit. I feel like all of my passion has just left and I don't know how to get it back, but I desperately want it back.

This isn't a question, really, despite the title. I guess I needed to vent and know if I'm not alone in having experienced this.

Calling your employees "Snoos" is the cringiest shit.

It's disappointing seeing people cave so quickly when under the slightest inconvenience. It doesn't matter for me, though - I'm not going back. If anything, this has helped me realize the unhealthy relationship I had with Reddit and was a good way to break that.

To new and better things.

I have it on Steam! I just have a huge backlog so I haven't gotten to it.

I should really finally play the original trilogy.

You forgot the real biggest news, the return of the Adoring Fan!

I can't not be excited for Starfield. I'm sure it'll be a buggy mess at launch, but the concept of a new BGS IP with mods is extremely exciting.

Wow, this makes a ton of sense and I had never thought about it. Thanks for the example!

Absolutely not. I'm fine sticking with Mastodon. Fuck Meta.

Just Cause 3 of all things, not sure why I went back to it but it kinda rekindled my love of gaming on my desktop. I need to get back to Diablo 4 as well, and stop being such a coward about Amnesia: The Bunker lol
