Surely people here will know, if they like writing so much.

I want to know what the consensus is in the writing community. What's generally considered the meta strategy so I can pump out as much writing as possible? No cheats or exploits though.

I may not have finished any one of the several novels I've started and then abandoned, but I consider myself a fairly competent writer. For example, consider the following sentence from my upcoming novel:

> The sky was no longer necessary.

Now that I have successfully convinced you that I write very well, I would like to express my frustration about the recent happenings in the writing community.

Might be a hot take, but I am surprised and apalled at the amount of people who think you have to write to be a writer. Even as someone who does write. Here is a partial quote from a commenter in a recent thread:

> write

This is outrageous levels of gatekeeping. We should be better than this.

I thought it was 5 but I read 5 books and the option to write a novel isn't popping up. Am I missing something? Maybe the docs are outdated and they raised the limit recently?

I have so many ideas but at this rate I'll never get them out to the world.

Title.

I had this incredible idea to write a story about a character who buys apples and then licks them and throws them away without eating them. Unfortunately, I find myself stuck on the next part, which is coming up with a plot to put her in. You see, I do not read or consume fiction regularly. This makes it hard for me to come up with even a derivative plot. I really want to write a story about this, so I need help, maybe even ideas for the plot.

You see, I get all my plot ideas in the shower. But I accidentally set fire to it, so I can't use it anymore. Therefore, I quit writing.

It is known that humans have significantly less sexual dimorphism compared to other animals. Applying the principle of arbitrary vibe-based association between fact and opinion, we can conclude that if there are other sentient species in other worlds, they would likely be more sexually oriented compared to humans. In addition, it is known that humans are generalists, compared to other animals, being able to do many things somewhat decently as opposed to a few things exceptionally well.

Thus, humans are ace sporks. QED.

I was thinking of potential story ideas for my next magnum opus and by random chance, I thought up the following groundbreaking idea:

pregnant feet alien

This idea is so revolutionary that I decided to create a new genre of literature specifically for it, or otherwise people will compare it to existing works and it would lessen the value of this idea that, dare I say, could revolutionize literature forever. The genre is called:

I've tried many ways, such as:

* Typing it into Google Docs

* Typing it into Microsoft Word

* Typing it into Notepad

* Typing using a typewriter

* Writing with a pen directly onto the laptop screen

* Chiseling it into the laptop screen (this broke my screen)

* Chiseling it onto a stone surface (my neighbor got really mad)

* Cutting and pasting letters from a magazine onto a piece of paper

* Writing with a pen in a notebook

* Writing with a quill and ink in a notebook

* Writing with a quill and my blood in a notebook

* Asking a friend to write it for me while I'm in the hospital

* Asking ChatGPT to write it for me

* Starting a petition that the mayor should write me a paragraph

* Waiting and hoping a paragraph will materialize before me due to a vanishingly unlikely coincidental arrangement of air molecules

* Crying

I don't know if I like any of these methods. Can you suggest me a better one?

I would like to know if people would make statues of me for finally not using any descriptions of anything in my book

I was writing my 30,000 page magnum opus on my phone while I was on the toilet, and accidentally dropped it into the bowl. In a panic, I accidentally flushed the toilet instead of trying to pull it out. Now I no longer have access to my draft. What do I do now? I spent the last 14 years of my life on it.

In my version of Dune, there is communists and also women in it and also gay people and also Islam. This is because the controversy it will cause will ruin my life fore ver

I wrote 1 sentence of my magnum opus and I can scientifically prove to you that I am better than Shakespeare by miles.

It's a well known fact that Shakespeare has invented many words we commonly use now in the English language, because he couldn't find a good word for what he was trying to describe. Well, I don't need to do that. In the one sentence I have written, I have not once been unable to find an appropriate word to describe what I had to say. If Shakespeare was a genius, I would be even smarter.

Also, Shakespeare wrote plays. Plays are for people who are too weak to write prose and descriptions for scenes. You basically only write dialogue, and nothing else. I am stronger and more powerful, because I am writing a novel.

If you are curious, here is my sentence:

"It was a dark and stormy night."
