I'm a loser who can't write.

I used to be a good writer, and I have since lost the talent that I had since childhood. Nobody would read my stories anyway and no one will care. What good is writing about pleasure when you have none in real life?

I’d read them… probably be the only pleasure I would get. None in real life also.

Dear Lolita. I don't believe it. I recently believed the same thing about myself-- that I'd lost my talent. But I worked at it and finally cranked out a fairly good poem. Hang in there!

One of the great things about Lit is that people will read your stories, no matter what. Maybe a few hundred, maybe a few hundred thousand.

It can be incredibly validating, and a joy in and of itself. (Also, you don't have to write about pleasure. As long as you avoid the kink-specific categories, your story doesn't actually have to contain sex.)

Most of the stories I've read on Lit don't show much talent. So you're probably above average.

Hey there Lolita. I want to add my encouragement for you to try wrtiting more.
I hated reading until i was well into my 20's. Out of boredom at my job and being in a nearly sexless marriage, I started scribbling out stories in my late 30's.
Now, in my late 60's, I have found my muse that feeds my mind with stories. Sometimes she goes quiet and I have no inspiration for weeks, sometimes months. Then she will return and I can't stop writing. Like now I am working on two stories at once.
Writing will stimulate your mind. Give it a little tickle and see what happens.
I'm here to chat if you would like.
