I like to think that I have a healthy amount of self-esteem, but I absolutely cannot generate original writing ideas without thinking they're trash and uninteresting

Hiya, I'm Blitz. I'm oddly eclectic. I love football and drinking shenanigans, but I am equally a huge nerd and love writing and RPing too. Genres I prefer generally depend on my current mood, but I tend to prefer RPs about college/sports, gangs, mild and dark fantasy, realistic/modern/slice of life, post-apocalyptic, futuristic... I could be convinced to do anything if you're good enough at arguing honestly.
I think I'll also put a bunch of my characters' quotes here because what better describes a person than the things they say? (Or rather, things my characters have said... Tee-hee)
The same character has cropped up in different niverses (or the same, at a different time), by the way.
“I guess I should've remembered that you easily get cut on broken glass.”
"Your tongue definitely strikes faster than a blitzing cornerback though."
“No, I think I'll keep you on your toes my little succubus.”
“Oh, shit. I need a mint. Coffee gives you reaper breath.”
“Are you trying to elope or something?”
“It could be a complete dead end, but on the other hand, whatever has managed to kill four men in one week with almost no trace except for an inhuman piece of fur could be lurking there, waiting for the two only detectives who have a lead to stupidly wander right into its claws.”
“I bet I look great in this.”
“If I ever got ahold of that crystal, I'd make you a better dancer.”
“The one? How much have you been drinking?”
“I need a cigarette immediately.”
“Hazel, this is getting… Whew, is it hot in here? Wow!”
“I’ll make some sunscreen bottles filled with alcohol.”
“This is tequila, sweetie, SPF 50. I don’t know if you’re quite big-boy enough to drink this.”
“I’m drunk but I’m not stupid enough to let a wee freshman get to me anyways."
“Oh nothing, you’re just a bit of a tool is all.”
“There’s nothing better than chilling in a hot tub with a drink in your hand and a beautiful lady at the disposal of the other.”
“Well, I'm certainly very sorry about almost pissing you off.”
“I'm sorry about this babe, but no one screws over Angel McBride... You'd be such a good addition, it'd be a shame if I had to kill you right here.”
"Consider this a fee for using the... VIP entrance.”
“I am a Lost One, but I’m not, like, their most active or dangerous member or anything.”
No, I appreciate your two cents! It's not always people get writing advice while doing a typical RP so it's nice to get it here.
Also, ohmygosh, the "YOU STINK, LOSER" wasn't for whoever chose to read my own review. It was my own opinion of my story. Hopefully no one thought it was an insult lol
I knew what recon meant. I had no idea it stood for reconnaissance. Until I played Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and I think Vexen mentioned the word. I looked it up and was like ohhhhhhhhhhhhHHhhhHH
Damn English for being the uncomfortable bastard child of French, Latin, random peasant Germanic shit, and apparently "15% other languages" according to the internet, which I assume is the unknown baby daddy.
@The Grey Dust Thanks for the review! I wrote Latum Alterum.
You and Dark Wind had similar issues with my story, the general lack of deeper meaning or a connection to the main character that could create such a meaning. In truth, I felt the same. For some reason, it just didn't occur to me to narrate the story from Theo's emotions—something which I almost always do. It felt more like a true "3rd person" story, with the narrator revealing hardly anything through description about the main character's emotions other than what happens concretely. Unfortunately, I submitted the entry knowing this all too well which is a sin on my part.
The story was trying to pump water out of an already-dry well for me. My most recent writer's block had been pretty bad honestly, but I think without the stress from school, forcing myself to write the story (despite the flaws), and reading books more is helping to pull me out.
Thanks again for taking the time to review! Hopefully you'll see some improvement from me in the future.
I normally suck at commenting on poetry, but I'll try here. You know what the most unsettling part about this poem is, for me? It starts with "Have you ever..." It makes a connection to like you would understand, and then slowly, horrifyingly, everything falls apart and you are delved into madness and screams. Instead of just watching the horror from a distance, the poem reaches forward, grabs you, and delves the reading into it too.
You know, I've come to love reading your stories. They're all very original, often with lore, and lovingly crafted and, as Dark Wind said, cute. This story was no different. As for fitting in with the theme of the contest, this story definitely fits. The idea of going back in time to stop a calamity from happening and has interesting implications. Some stories, as you may have heard of before, often have the time travelers "disappear" as some paradox-correcting rule. But keeping the heroes alive was even more interesting. Only Mikhal and Trevor know the true ...reality? It happened, though at the same time, for everyone else, never happened at all. And of course, no one would believe them. Still a very interesting and delightful story to read.
I am an idiot. I thought I had read your entry, and then I saw Dark Wind's review, and I was like... Morpheus project? Horror? What? And then I realized I hadn't seen the final hider. Whoops. So I re-read the entire thing.
Definitely... chilling. Weird, but in a good way. An original idea, and just... all around... unorthodox? It's written in a form that I've never encountered before, to start. The repetitions and progression are powerful. Hmm. Well done. There are a few typos and the writing was a little hard to follow at times (perhaps for my lack of scientific knowledge), but the overarching truths and themes remain. This reminded me, at least at first, of the Pendragon series, book four I think with the virtual reality simulator Lifelight. I read it a long time ago and I think there was a nightmarish element in the book, but you took a whole different sick approach. Bravo.
Well, I don't know about you, but Supernatural Western is not a genre I've ever seen before. You definitely wrote an interesting story within an already interesting genre. To me though, the only "Western" parts about it were Adrian's boots and spurs, some dialect, and the American Southwest paradoxical desert-next-to-snowy-mountains terrain you described, so I honestly think this could have been set in any small town. But okay, that was a huge nitpick and just a thought of mine. The story itself is spun nicely and well-organized and of course, with latent themes woven within. As for the "reality" bit, for me, Adrian's true nature is what I think is called into question. Destiny wasn't as big as a factor for me. I don't know why, I mean, you know me. Why bother commenting or arguing on something which we cannot prove or disprove? Alas, I really liked your story. You're certainly getting good at this whole storytelling thing.
My favorite part about this was the dialect, and the fact that the narration was written in that dialect as well. It gave everything a singsongy Scottish charm. While unfinished, I see some interesting potential with the story, especially with interlocking realities and intersecting timelines. If this is a book/novel you're working on aside, I say keep going! So far it seems quite intriguing.
No vote yet. I must ponder. And brood. And also eat dinner.
Also, I don't know why, but my computer keeps putting random line breaks in my writing. Sorry about that. Smh.
