writing inspo when the point of inspo is so intricately specific is weird because its like you want to write something like that but also Not like that because then that would just be writing That story. like los angeles by ling ma is so inspirational to me but "i live with my 100 ex boyfriends" is such a not universal experience so i just have this abstract inspo that's like i want to write something with the same energy as living with 100 ex boyfriends but also not the same energy because the energy of living with 100 ex boyfriends would just be a story about living with 100 ex boyfriends. take a shot every time i said

#DO I MAKE SENSE???? i want to train my brain to come up with ideas Like That but obviously not something similar to That idea #because its so specific i feel like i couldn't come up with my own idea without it being an obvious extension #when i get inspo/ideas from other stories it's things like. so i read a story about a carnival and that planted the idea #of wanting write a carnival in my mind. i didnt think about it too hard but of course a couple weeks later i get the between us girls idea #i think it falls into this category of weird idea but not like. technically impossible. like someone COULD do that #that's the kind of experimental ideas im drawn to at the moment #like that + the confidence of it all #anyway because im not as prioritised on nano im gonna skip my apocalypse mini TBR and start reading bryan washingtons collection #bc ive had it for two years and i feel a Need to write short fiction but #also feel like i need to Read some first #i prefer reading short fiction in print and flash/micro online btw is anyone else like this. i hate scrolling for a long time #i will say. los angeles + how many (bryan washington) has created a sort of compounded inspo #where i want to write a short piece with multiple lovers. i think my guy with ibs x wellness youtuber could be That one
