Connor, I've read your piece, and as several members have already said... it isn't very good. At all. Would you ever consider taking up drawing, or anything else creative? If you really have your heart set on writing, I'd strongly suggest you start reading more. It builds vocabulary and can help you understand plot structure and characterization better.

40 minutes not enough? I'll write for an hour. After that, an hour and a half. Then two hours. Two and a half. Three...

40 minutes should be your morning writing warmup, before you carry on for a few more hours.

If you are jobless, then why not try writing for the length of a full working day? Get up early, sit down and start working at 9, take a break at lunchtime, then crack on again until 5. If you do that EVERY SINGLE day for a few months, then you will have a first draft that you can spend the next few months after that refining and editing until it is an actual manuscript. It will most likely be a shit manuscript, but it will be one. Then all you have to do is put that away in a drawer and start another one and before you know it you will have something you can be proud of, and maybe even something that others might want to read. It will probably take a few years, but what else do you have that's taking up your time? Even very talented and skilled writers often turn out godawful debut novels.

Also, have you ever actually read a novel? Like, really actually? because if the answer is no, and you genuinely don't like to read then you really are chasing an impossible dream and will be unlikely to produce anything that isn't 100% dogshit.

Someone should go through Connor's entire posting history on the Farms and do a word count. It's probably equal to like 3 encyclopedias worth of writing, all wasted on stupid, self-pitying bullshit.

It's been done before in this thread. Like 300 pages ago

Besides, I only have class two days a week this semester. That's plenty of fucking time.

Great. More time to waste sperging about nothing here. What an accomplishment bro.

Anyone think Connor shoulder be banned, for his own good? He clearly has a masochistic and unproductive addiction to this community. And if he requests an unbanning, please ignore him.

That's exactly what he wants. We don't want to give him what he wants.

Nope, he's not gonna be banned and that's final.

My father gave me some advice when it comes to writing once. "Write, and it shall come."

I don't think that, when he said "write," he meant "whine about my life on a forum where no one gives a shit."

Besides, I only have class two days a week this semester. That's plenty of fucking time.

Great.

Which is why you stopped writing after 40 minutes.

Because you have nothing else to do but bitch about how you could be writing.

Connor's old enough to realize that he could end all of his problems by never typing in the phrase "https://kiwifarms.net" in the address bar.

If he wants to make himself look stupid then we'll accommodate him by laughing.

I may not have found the drive yet. Writing is a skill, not an inborn talent.

I hate to respond too seriously to this thread but I really can't wrap my mind around why someone who feels this way would be drawn to writing at all. I would think that most people who pursue a creative field do so because they feel like they have some latent gift for it that they want to cultivate further, or at the very least, an idealistic (if completely hopeless) passion. But you seem to be aware of your total lack of natural ability and you haven't demonstrated very much of an interest in literature either. So why writing? Your entire life seems to revolve around jerking off and watching 80's movies. Go make a faux 80's throwback short film with a digital camera and load that shit up with a bunch of god-awful photoshop/instagram filters for the extra "retro" touch. God knows the barrier for entry into "indie" film-making has never been lower.

Someday Connor will be here whining that the reason he hasn't finished RE is because someone else wrote a book with that title and that ruined things for him.

 

[Sable]

Connor in his heart of hearts doesn't want to write, but he's in love with the idea of being a writer.

Writers are sometimes seen as being intellectual and cool maybe. Pity it takes work.

If Connor could make a career from sitting around masturbating he would, but that doesn't bear thinking about, it's horrifying.

 

[TyrannoNinja]

That's exactly what he wants. We don't want to give him what he wants.

Fair enough, I guess I was naively hoping there was a way to prod him into maturity.

Do you really think your main problem up until now has been lack of free time?

If Kayla "Catherine" Marie Waller of Katy, Texas (TX) who is currently employed by Wendy's of Katy, Texas (TX) can get a job and keep it for a while, then there is no reason why @Connor Bible of Port Royal, South Carolina (SC) who is currently only taking one class at community college couldn't get one either. Connor Bible of Port Royal, South Carolina (SC) might want to make sure his crotch is cleaned and deodorized before his interview though.

Connor in his heart of hearts doesn't want to write, but he's in love with the idea of being a writer.

Writers are sometimes seen as being intellectual and cool maybe. Pity it takes work.

Writers are also seen as misunderstood loners and can say important eloquent things people want to listen to. Writers also mostly get paid for sitting at their computer and typing out words. Which Connor can easily do but he just doesn't because he's lazy.

He is very much in-love with the idea of being a writer. In reality a writer isn't a career most writers even recommend. It's one you don't make a lot of money doing, something going to school is usually useless for, it's a career where you have to get used to getting rejection letters for works you put out and it's a job where the vast majority of writers don't ever succeed in. It's why most writers long before they got famous had other careers. (Stephen King taught High School English, Michael Crichton was a graduate from Harvard medical school and was a physician, J.R.R. Tolkien was in World War 2 and became a university professor, etc). Almost all of the most successful writers are actually the result of tremendous hardship and life experience. (J.K. Rowling traveled to France, her mother died, she lived on welfare benefits, had a child, was divorced from her estranged husband she got a restraining order from etc. All before she published her first book.)

Something Connor completely lacks is life experience. Which is the reason why his writing is infantile and lazy.

This is still funny.

4 pages of:

"Connor u suck"
"The thing you wrote as a writing excersize and posted here for free blows you should be ashamed give up on life"
"Yeah good job doing something but what have you done for us lately?"
"Have a job yet asshole?"
"What do you do with your life???"
"Wowwww only 2 classes??"

And you all call Connor the autistic loser. I mean I get it yelling at cows is fun it's all anyone on this site does but here's what it accomplishes:

The cows do nothing and leave
The users feel good about themselves for being better.

Here's what it doesn't accomplish:

Getting more writing
Getting more information
Getting more reactions (negative or positive)
Getting anything.

@Connor Bible: Here's something, just food for thought. My cousin's a writer, she spends basically all of her time doing research/reading/writing in some capacity. She has completed several short novels. They are all self-published, but I suppose this is a necessity, as she is only 16 years old as of this writing. One of the things I see her doing a lot is taking a notepad around and physically writing down story ideas. She takes this notepad everywhere. We went to a baseball game and she was still plotting out her story, next physically, on paper.

Maybe you could try this approach to writing - using physical paper, rather than typing on your computer? It will give you less imperative to do distracting things (like browse the farms), and it will allow you to keep a written record of your entire thought processes (unlike computer writing where you might just delete entire ideas you don't end up wanting to use). Then you can quickly compare things and think about lots of different options. You can also take this notepad several places, like baseball games. Having a notepad available at all times makes it easier to just jot down little things. If you're at a baseball game and you observe the way two people sitting in front of you in the crowd interact, you could even jot down some of the things you've noticed about their interaction to add to character development. You could walk around the college campus jotting things down! Can't do that with computer writing.

Also, to everyone saying his writing isn't very good: It's not, this is true, but he did admit he just went for 40 minutes without stopping and didn't edit it before posting it. I think for Connor the mere act of writing is more important than the content at the moment. In fact, I strongly encourage him (here @Connor Bible I'll tag you again so you look at this line) to participate in National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write 50,000 words over the month of November, which comes out to about 1,667 words per day (which you can get done in about 45 minutes if you write consistently and have a fast wpm rate). I did it three times and made it to the goal all three times - while being a high school student, I may add. Now, none of those stories have ever been published because I realized not long after the third one that writing wasn't really my passion. This can be a way to help you develop your drive or realize you're not cut out for writing, either one. And if it's the former, it has the added benefit of forcing story to be made! Then you can edit it later if you like the product. Really I don't see the problem with the "force-yourself-to-write, fix-later" approach. (But then, I'm not an author.)

Sorry to disagree, but Connor sets lofty expectations for himself and openly takes criticism from all of us, then proceeds to lock down, fail to deliver, completely ignore any advice he's given, and ragequit when people tell him that he should be aiming higher than he is.

He leaves himself open to this. If he's going to come into the Farms and shitpost, then we're going to call it out as such and laugh at it.

Either he truly comes back with some definite improvement (or at the very least stops taking the bait) or he finally takes the hint and never comes back at all. He's repeated this cycle how many times? He should know better than this. We're not his babysitters and we're not his friends. If he's gonna act like a dumbass then we're going to reply to him and treat him like a fucking dumbass.

NaNoWriMo would actually be perfect for Connor. It actively tracks your word count, it sets a definite goal that it wants writers to achieve, it provides an open community for people to criticize and advise writers that participate in the event, and he'll get a published copy of his work should he reach the goal, not to mention possibly winning the actual reward.

Seriously, @Connor Bible, if you're reading this and you're serious about improving, participate in NaNoWriMo.
