I didn't say I would stop writing. I usually get about a hundred words in a day. I'm so wrapped up in school and other shit that I hardly find the time. But I guess that's no excuse either. I'm legitimately shaking in my shoes and choking when I have Word open. I start sweating. My thoughts race. As a result, I can barely put a word down. The fact I could even put down a hundred words, let alone fifty, is a miracle.

Then you need a new hobby.

Well, I want to keep writing and get better while doing so. I have ten short stories in progress, as well as two novels. Completely abandoning the hobby isn't a good idea. I can find another hobby when I lack the mental energy to write.

Fiction is an entirely different ballpark. I mentioned that I have to get myself into a trance, step into the characters shoes for a bit, and forget I even exist. Even with first drafts, I obsess over minutiae, in both characters and scene details. Also, I try to stay away from outlines; they're too rigid and lack the spontaneity of solving the mystery along with the protagonist.

But here's the thing: even if I did fix the problems, you'd probably still find something to bitch about just because I'm a lolcow.

No, it's your attitude and the way you respond to these things that makes you a lolcow.

Believe it or not, most of us here would rather have a successful non-lowcow version of yourself. You however keep bringing yourself back to this point time and time again. You say you want to change but change is hard so you stay the way you are. You say you want to graduate college and get a degree but all you're doing is taking one course. You are your own worst enemy and you're fooling yourself into thinking that you're fine. It's our job to point this out to you and to hopefully shake you out of your rut.

I've been where you are. Fat, lazy, unemployed and thinking I was going to write the next great American novel. While I still write for fun, I've never pursued it as a way of living. I decided to go to college and get my degree. From there got a real job and have been making decent money ever since. I lost the weight and kept it off and currently have the best girlfriend in the world. What I'm saying here is honestly I want you to succeed and it's possible for you to do it but you need to make up your mind and actually do something instead of sitting back, half-assing it and waiting for success to come your way.

Nobody was ever successful without working for it.
 
@Phil Ken Sebben : I'm taking two classes at my college, going four days a week. Both course involve a lot of academic writing and studying. My immediate family doesn't believe there are any jobs out there for me, and would rather I completed college before I look for one. What you also have to understand is that life does not stop and start at the convenience of writing, or college, or potentially, employment. Even with all of that going on, shit will happen. I have mentioned that my grandmother is very ill. She could potentially be dead in the next two years. If she were to die while I were at work/on campus/writing, I can't just say "c'est la vie" and keep at it.
 
God damn it you could just run this thread on repeat after the first 150 pages.

Common ground? What's there to find common ground on. This thread has run with the same conclusion 3-4 times now

1) You come back and say you've changed
2) You show some promise and effort
3) You begin to make excuses
4) You then get salty when farms point out 3)
5) You have a meltdown and pretend to leave forever

Man, you have to work this shit out. Either you care about what we think and this cycle repeats until the farms closes or you just walk away and be content with whatever choices you make.

Christ.

Actual writing advice: people curse in all sorts of contexts, not just when they're angry. If your characters (or yourself) only curse when they're angry or if they're "bad" characters, it feels like a cheap way to get around writing believable emotions.

Lets break down this bullshit shall we?

1 - I'm taking two classes at my college, going four days a week.

That's a total of six credits in entry level courses. Most college students take 12+ credits a semester and do fine. You also don't have a job or any social obligations so I don't see how this is so strenuous.

2 - My immediate family doesn't believe there are any jobs out there for me.

So go look for one yourself? Although I'm almost entirely sure this a lie to cover up the fact that you're too lazy to get a job.

3 - What you also have to understand is that life does not stop and start at the convenience of writing, or college, or potentially, employment

Yes it does. It's called being an adult and making time for the important things instead of moping and eating cheese.

4 - I have mentioned that my grandmother is very ill. She could potentially be dead in the next two years.

Funny you should mention that. If we look at your posting history on WrongPlanet there are posts where you claim your grandmother is deathly ill going back almost three years. Either she's on the world's longest deathbed or more likely you are using her to solicit sympathy from others in which case I say fuck you.
