If you're writing in German, 50 words is a novella.

Thank you, this was needed

Write on a bathroom stall, "for a good time..."

I forgot about that Church/Epsilon quote. I love it and my favorite.

Hey OP, I did something life changing 13 days ago that I wouldn't have done if you didn't make this post. Thanks a lot for this, I needed it
Dantesquest
Glad to have helped!

Same boat. I feel that ache every day.

I just need a stick damn it!!!!

Ok. Here is a tiny stick >> ------. Pluck it up with your mind and save it. Think of as a hug whenever you need one.

Well now how am I supposed to sleep with my pillow all wet

Flip it over to the cool side ;)

Don't you go about saying my pillow has an un-cool side

These made me cry. Thank you for posting them Stewart.

You're welcome!

I started with an idea, then wrote a chapter at a time. Took a year, but I'd wrote a book by the end of it. You can do it.
InsanityReborn
#1. I learned to write well. The problem with that? I can no longer write shitty, and as a result shit I say tends to go on, and on. 1/2
InsanityReborn
It's kind of a problem as I gotta force myself to stop shit abruptly. And that sucks and looks weird. 2/2
JupiterJedi
Yeah well,
CitizenThirty
Great post! This is definitely more Monday morning material though

I need inspiration to read these....

You're welcome. Glad it helped

As someone who writes 500-1500 word articles 4-5 times a day as work, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck thaaaaaaat
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
Man. I'm sorry you don't enjoy writing, but I wouldn't be alive right now if not for writing.
PresidentProTempore
I loooove writing. It's what I write for work that I hate.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
Oh god I know that feeling. Nothing worse than writing something so dull you miss term papers
PresidentProTempore
I've been staring at the screen making words happen. I swear that every 300 words I just lose concentration (like right now).
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
The worst is when as a creative writer you work and bleed over something and get so close to being done only to realize it isn't right.....
Dayrest
Write 30,000 words on a subject that could be done with only 3000: that's a paper in college.
FrisianDude
as a student at a pretty good uni - 30k sounds like it's mostly filler regardless. 3000 might actually be an interesting student-paper
Dantesquest
RedMedal001
MORE YOU STUDENT!
kindakinda
That's just not knowing what you're writing about (an average student). When you know the subject, you can write a lot without filler.
ItsNotLenticular
You can also succinctly summarize, rather than expounding to fill a silly page quota.
TheHorseJumpedOverTheFuckingFence
I had to cut so damn much from my thesis. Could have done with at least twice the length, I'd have died of just about everything though
IDontLikePancakes
shortest paper ever published -> https://paperpile.com/blog/files/Lander-1966.png
Ghauf
But if you can manage to get your point across with substantial support in less than the minimum page limit you should be allowed to. (1/2)
Ghauf
(2/2) Hell, back when I was in school I actually didn't get much dropped over not reaching the "minimum page/words" because of that.
FartyMcDumpstein
I once wrote a 4 page paper for "write me 10 pages on..." with an additional two page paper on why there wasn't enough material for 10 pages
Lebiram
How did the professor graded you?
FartyMcDumpstein
Meh, but they found it entertaining, and we spent a class discussing some of my points.
ILiveUnderARock
I did that once sort of.. Got an F on it though. Averaged a C though so who cares? Wrote about half a page and copy/pasted the rest of 15.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
If you want to be a writer, do NOT come lightly to a blank page. The best advice I've ever gotten.
pancakeisi
Man whats it mean?
starkart
Do not go gently into the dark night
StaIin
Genuinely curious what this means
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
It's a quote from Stephen king. It boils down to if you dont want to take writing serious you'll never make it.
gyrodreamsofsushi
What does that even mean?
daguq
Spurt harder.
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
If you want to write a blank page should be like a beacon fill it. Don't best around the bush fill it. Do not come lightly.
daguq
OK - don't come lightly around the bush, fill it.
ThatMomentWhenImgurJokesAreOnlyFunnyToImgurians
you need to comment better
MyFrontPorchInMississippi
You need to fuck yourself. There is that better? Was that clear enough? Rip of your dick. And fuck yourself

Hey you,
MarlboromanMat
And thank you from me, too. As someone who suffers from severe clinical depression, "A Cry For Help", really made a positive impression. TY
Dantesquest
You're welcome. I've needed these so many times before. I'm glad you found them today.
neversmited
Spent the last four days lost in thought about a girl that fucked me over. To lazy to write about it, but now I've got somewhere to start.
peaceloveandgraffiti
It really did, OP. Thank you.
Laylah77
Yes, thank you
Dantesquest
You are more than welcome. I've needed these to get through many days. I'm so happy they found people that needed them as much as I did.

Wow, No Cry For Help (yellow background #12) made this worth reading.

I wish I'd had therapists half so good as that single picture. Seriously, what the fuck.
Attaleros
I absolutely loved that one. My therapist taught me a similar stance on my depression but sometimes it's so easy to succumb to it anyway.
lizardinajar
I didn't read it at first (b/c tl;dr) until your comment. Thanks, I needed to read that.

1Unpopular opinion: this isn't going to work with people that know they're actually afraid of death more than staying alive. We're not brave

MrJelle
Real talk, I don't live for myself anymore. I keep going because of what others have convinced me I mean, and always have meant, to them.
MrJelle
Even when people don't always remember to tell you, almost everyone means a lot to at least a few people. And making them happier helps...
MrJelle
I find moments of great joy in making people's lives a little easier, or enjoyable, or less complicated, or... You get the idea.
