How do I get re-started with writing? It gave me a lot of joy when I was young, but I stopped doing it in my first college attempt. I think I stopped when I started reading/writing a lot of I guess "experimental" stuff like Beckett, Pynchon, and my writing was reflecting a lot of that, lost in its own cleverness and self-awareness, completely unable to tell a story because of how simple and pointless it felt to do so. I think the second thing that stopped me was realizing that unless I was completely writing only for myself, I was always evaluating my writing as if I was showing it off to someone. And if I fought against, I found there was no point to it besides this pandering. Even writing for myself, I'd think about how my future self would see it.
Even now, I'm already changing my mind on wanting to write again. What do you think I should do about this? Just skip it? Force myself to write a story? A novel? A blog? Sorry for the shitty post.
