All I know about Queens is that Aunt May lives there in Raimi's Spiderman from 2002, and that the fat Paul Blart guy had a sitcom in which he plays its monarch.

I'll admit an attraction to young men but it's far more exclusive and specific than my more general attraction to women.

I've come to a sort of conclusion as to why some people are more photogenic than others. Yes, looks do play a role in it but it's not the end all be all. You can still like a retard even if you're handsome.
It's simple. It's your posture. Your day to day posture determines how not only do you see yourself but also how others will see you. Having good posture adds to the likeability factor and in turn you can be more presentable at all times. Which leads to good pictures. To add on to it, good posture adds to more confidence and vice versa. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. They work hand to hand. I've seen conventionally attractive girls look like shit in pics because they have the posture of a fucking golem and same way handsome men who look shabby because they their shoulders rolled.

Can any of you anons recommend me some writing exercises? Have you tried any? Did they work for you?

In my mind I'm toying with the idea of developing my own systemic writing exercise. I'm thinking it goes something like this;
Take a rather large subject, for example The Matter of Britain, and all of it's many different stories and characters and places, and write a prose sketch of each, then write each of them multiple times in different forms of poetry i.e. blank verse, heroic couplets, ballads etc..
Once I've exhausted a subject, move on to another, like say, the President's of The United States and repeat the aforementioned process.

It doesn't even need to be based on stories at all, I could attempt the same thing with as many rhetorical devices as I could remember, or even numbers fcs!

Thoughts?

Yeah 100% first story I've ever written. But I appreciate the feed back. All of it makes a lot of sense when brought up. I use to write letters to my ex and I use a journal to try and work with my anxiety. So I thought it might be fun to throw a random story idea I had into words.

Galatians 6:7
>Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

Laws of Manu 9:40
>That one should be sown and another be produced cannot happen; whatever seed is sown, that kind even comes forth.

Matthew 15:14
>Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.

Katha Upanishad 2:5
>Thinking themselves to be learned, fools treading a tortuous path go about like blind men led by one who is himself blind.
