"There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you"

-Maya Angelou

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.

First experience with unrequited love for my FWB led to my first real poem (context in body) (hexbear.net)

Context:

I think we were only ever supposed to be friends/fwb. Texting for 6 months, IRL for 2. But I think they realized I fell in love with them at some point. I don't know when myself but it was very clear at least for sure after I saw them perform live for the first time in 1+ years at their invitation

But there were other things other than their show. They would kiss me on the forehead during sex (lol whyyy), they asked me "What are we?" one night out of nowhere, very open laid bare feelings and thoughts

They told me they wanted to just be friends this morning. I don't have the life experiences or perspectives they want, the creative artistic energy to match theirs, nor the love or passion put into my life

wow fuck what they said. those are incredibly rude and demeaning things to say. it might not feel that way now, but you deserve so much better than someone who would talk about you like this. I hope in the meantime you're doing the best you can heart-sickle
