  • I don’t know if I’d say creative storytelling is the only way to become better at writing with others just becoming repetitive. I’ve written about the films I’ve watched very frequently since 2021 and I feel the writing I do now is infinitely better than the drivel I started out doing. Still nowhere near what a professional who actually studied film for years and deeply understands the ins and outs of it could write, like something from Roger Ebert, but I like what I’ve put up at least within the last few months.



  • I tried a long time ago, but I’m not creative enough for fictional stories and get distracted when researching things I have a massive interest in. It’s why I’d prefer something like school (or documentaries but I can only find a few that interest me like American Animals, Aliens of the Deep, and National Gallery), but I got no money for that. Tried some free online teaching things and stopped once I went a few days without it due to a friend dying. If I’m not forced to do it like I would a structured environment then I give up pretty easy.





  • I have hobbies, but none that really feel like a purpose. I liked going on walks when it was warmer out, finding new trails all the time. Tried replacing it with the gym now that it’s colder, but it’s nowhere near the same. Other than that, it’s just writing about the entertainment stuff I mess with like videogames, movies, shows, and books on sites like Letterboxd, Goodreads, and Backloggd.


  • I work from 5:30 AM till 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. They sometimes give us Mondays off to avoid paying overtime (although lately they’ve been doing Fridays which sucks cause they don’t tell us we’ll have the day off til Thursday and sometimes they’re fine paying overtime so Fridays are harder to schedule stuff on than Mondays). Breaks are at 8:45 AM for 15 minutes, 11:45 AM for 30 minutes, and then sometimes a 2:30 PM one for 15 minutes (this is hit and miss).




  • Why I’ve never gotten any further education after high school. Sucks cause there’s subjects I’m fascinated with learning about in a structured environment, but why waste so much money when it leads nowhere? I’m already working a physically demanding job in a slaughterhouse and don’t like anything trade schools teach.
