I have to write a short story for a literature class by the end of the semester and I have no ideas. How do I come up with something that isn't retarded?

I try not to worry about things because the more I think of the bad things that happen in the world, the easier it is for me to take them to heart and get upset over them.

write something that appeals to SJW.

like a black kid who overcomed racism from white people in his school, plus he was trans and handicapped.

Sounds like you’ll have lots to write about then given you’ve steeled yourself off from caring about the outside world. Why not write a self indulgent narcissism fueled rant featuring you, your minute concerns, your solipsism, your bedroom, your computer screen, and your cyclic moods? It could be called “Me: I don’t think so I don’t worry”.

I brainstormed several things but none of them is appealing to me. I find it much easier to analyze and marvel at other people's works than to come up with my own.

Do you think a professor would take kindly of such a rant?

>> No.12190235

>>12190231
No a professor wouldn’t. That’s why I’m asking you to tell me something you give a shit about so I can tell you how to turn it into a story
