terrifying. when my eyes alighted upon '"The sick bastard deserved to die anyway"' some prehistoric instinct in me tugged at my heartstrings and told me to scream. so good, excellent job.

haha makes sense

also those boys sound awful but it's kinda cool you have out gay boys in your grade, I only know the one so far. for me, it's just me, my gay friend, the non-binary person I mentioned earlier, and a few other bisexual people, all of whom i'm friends with. queer people unite!!!!! against fascists!!!

bahahahaha no that's not weird! :-) there aren't many queer Jews so I have the same thought every time someone tells me they are 1. 

Theres also a lot of stuff that gay kids are put through in my grade. specifically gay guys. There is a whole group of "popular boys" that go around and pretend to flirt w/ each other to make fun of the--um--I think 3 gay kids in our grade? of course there might be more who aren't out. 

I try to give them the benefeit of the doubt that they are doing it because

  1. they want to disguise that they are gay
  2. they are just trying to conform to their group of friends
  3. they are umm? practicing? flirting???

also, here's the subreddit for queer Jewish People:https://www.reddit.com/r/queerjews/

not like I have a reddit account but I definitley read everything >:D

Hi, I've experienced this multiple times before. Here are some suggestions on what to do:

  • If you're trying to make a habit of writing, force yourself to write. Even if you don't want to. It helps make a habit of writing every day. Even if it's bad writing, even if you don't write for a long time, at least you wrote and that's what matters.
  • Read. Reading helps you improve your writing, and it gives you inspiration.
  • If you need inspiration, listen to a song and write something inspired by it. I've made a few major plot points in books inspired by songs before. 
  • If you need ideas, look up stuff online or use a generator. Or ask around, others may have good ideas too
  • Read other's writing on YWP. Everyone has great ideas here, and sometimes reading other's writing can give you new ideas (but don't steal their ideas ofc)
  • If you get an idea, write it down. If you're busy at the time, just write it down to work on later. Even if it's bad, you can still turn it into something good
  • Put all the titles of your works on a wheel of names. Revise and edit whichever one it lands on until it's the best you can make it.

    Hopefully this helps :)

When I'm stuck, I try writing something real. Something going on around me, or even just happening in the world. If you're stuck, try writing what you know/feel.

I completely agree. Nature is all around us and some people don’t see how great it is. I love nature inspired poems like this :)
