gIt always seems impossible until it is doneh
1/10th of the way there!
I called the doctor earlier in the year about why I was coughing all the time, and he saw from my medical record I was a smoker, so he started to give me the spiel about health risks from smoking cigarettes. It sounded well-rehearsed
Oh, also, if the mould appears near the ceiling, you should maybe check on the roof.
Missing roof tiles or things like that can cause moisture to get in that way.
That's when I said actually doctor, I haven't smoked a cigarette for months, buuuut I do have a bong in the afternoon then one at night. That's when he started laughing

That's okay, there's nothing wrong with that style of writing.
A lot of really interesting famous works are in that kind of style, like Crime and Punishment.
>>104 I did indeed have holes in the roof, at the front and back, which just got fixed last week!
That said, if you're unhappy with just writing that sort of thing, then you can always branch out.
I noticed I was writing a lot of introspective, single character pieces, so I challenged myself to write a short story that was mostly dialogue.
>>64 Do it! If it's from the heART then it's beyond criticism!
I also noticed I wrote a lot of pieces where nothing really "happens" as such, so I wrote a cute fantasy adventure short story.
I mean, I say "cute", but the protagonist does die horribly alone, deep underground and hopeless.
Well, they don't explicitly die, but things are definitely not looking positive for them.
JUICE

Hopefully if you get rid of the mould that's already there, it shouldn't come back, then.
I wonder if I have something wrong with the roof here.
It's me, Mo-Dean!
It would explain why the mould is so persistent.
And why it seems worse in damp weather.
I did, after months of nagging, persuade my piece-of-shit landlord to get it checked out, but apparently the roofer couldn't find anything wrong with the roof.
Ehh, whatever.
Hopefully the dehumidifier will sort it anyway.
My room is such a mess.
I really need to tidy...
I'm fullery erect
Usually I'd be dumping most of this stuff off at a charity shop, but I don't think any are open at present due to lockdown.
Guess I'll just bag stuff up and leave it in a closet until things open again.
I told my landlord my toilet was broken and there's a leak in the roof, so he said he'd send someone to fix them. When the slater came, he was really confused when I started telling him about my broken toilet
Uh, what was I talking about?
I forgot already.
Oh right, writing.
The leak in the roof destroyed my iMac packaging. Oh well, just a box!
Yeah, it's good to push yourself a little out of your comfort zone occasionally.
It's fine to have a particular style, or topic, that you're especially good at, or especially enjoy writing about.
But it's no good if you get yourself stuck in a rut.
All that said, if you don't feel up to making anything creative these days, that'd be totally understandable.
God knows I don't.
Unfortunately, making creative stuff is a coping mechanism that kind of requires you to already be in a relatively good place to use.
Perhaps it's more of a way of maintaining good mental health, rather than improving mental health when it's already bad.
Don't buy into the "tortured artist" bullshit.
Being depressed doesn't cause you to make better art.
In 99% of cases, it causes you to be unable to make art at all.
At least that's my experience, and that of most people I know who produce art.
My captcha is cafe, how cute.
I miss going to cafés...
It's not like I did it more than once or twice a year, but even so.
I really hope my favourite tearoom survives lockdown.
I think I made better art when I was depressed, or I was more prolific at least...
I've been there twice for afternoon tea, and both times were incredible.
They have a signature blend that has a bunch of unlikely stuff in it.
Let me try to remember...
I think it was vanilla, bergamot, rose petals, and... something else.
Something citrus-y, maybe?
Anyway, when I saw it on the menu, I thought, that seems like too many things together.
Like, the tea blending equivalent of ice cream on pizza.
I want to take a cute girl on a date to the Willow Tearooms again
captcha: yass indeed
But, you know, it's their signature blend, and I was feeling adventurous.
I'm so glad I gave it a try.
It was genuinely possible the best blend of tea I've ever had.
I tried to see if they sold packets of it, but it seems not.
I swear, if they go bust and I never get to drink that blend of tea again, the world will be a little bit worse off for it.
Anyway, I have other stuff to do.
See y'all later.
