I followed through and wrote two books. Currently working on my third.
I never get that far. Every 5 years or so I get it in my head that I want to create a story, then I get two sentences down and immediately think “who the fuck am I to be writing something!? Pretentious douche.” So I stop.
It’s coming up on 5 years, maybe I’ll write another sentence and berate myself again lol
I wasn’t horrified when I found it, so apparently normal.
I made a lot of personal websites as a teenager back in the late 90s and as I got older I wished I had kept back ups of them for nostalgia’s sake.
I found some when the various Geocities archives went online and I immediately changed my mind on the whole nostalgia thing. If I could go back in time, I’d strangle my 15 year old self with his own Tool t shirt.
It’s still in my mind. Waiting…
I so desperately want to write
When I try to write I so desperately want to die
Sounds like you don’t actually want to write, you want to have written.
I started a “choose your own adventure” book but as a website with art I created in Photoshop. Created maybe a half-dozen pages then lost steam.
Don’t think I have it anymore
I made a website full of bad poetry and short sob stories. Thankfully it wasn’t preserved by any of the sites that archived Geocities after its collapse and is now lost forever.
Sorry, I was too busy drafting plans and schematics to blow up my elementary school and getting caught by the principal and subsequently expelled to write my trilogy.
lol I used to make up languages.
I had notebooks of weird glyphs and writing schemes.
All the things from my childhood including photos were destroyed though, so I can’t go back and decode them.
Put me down on the horrified side.
No but I did start writing a memoir.
