I want to write stuff, like poetry or nonfiction or journalism, except I dont like poetry more than 4 lines of it in an entire book, let alone an entire book or page of poetry, and I think the standards of it, like rhyme schemes and couplets and sonnets are retarded and antiquated, and that all the good poetry is already written or will be written by better men than me anyways. As for nonfiction, I have no technical expertise, so there goes that idea. As for journalism, I know nobody interesting, and likely never will, and most journalism is, nevermind, 100% of journalism is written by cuckolds or moral relatavists. It seems like the ONLY worthwhile writing is HIT PIECES but I have little clue how to distribute them seeing as it isn't 1917 anymore and I'm not friends with Josef Stalin and the Pravda editorial board. Seriously, the ONLY fun thing to do with writing is trashing other peoples' reputation (rightfully so, since most people are scum), but even if we trash them, other people will trash them for shittier reasons, and it's important that people hate others for MY reasons. Advice?

Well, congratulations for being an untermensch. I suggest listening to some of Elizabethan writers' and Shakespeare's works, particularly his poems to get a grasp at the power of antiquated poetry.

>that all the good poetry is already written or will be written by better men than me anyways.

Don't let your memes be dreams. See if you believe that, then you'll never write anything worthwhile. Be like Kierkegaard, or Hitler; the former believed that he was going to do great shit and passed out on a girl whom he loved. Hitler was a impractical dreamer in his youth, as Kubizek attests.

Then go with satirical works; read some satires to get a feel of how to do it; hell, read some of Wyndham Lewis as he took other people's works and melted it down and reworked it to his tastes.

Is it really writers block if you haven't actually started?
