>Want to be writer.

How are you supposed to write stories worth reading if you just spent your life in front of you're computer? How do you get life experience?

Try living before you try writing

unless you want to write fantasy/sci-fi...in that case just read a lot of other fantasy/sci-fi and come up with some ideas

It's quite stunning to realize how much happens around you. There's so much to write about, so much that no man has even thought of writing about it. Accept yourself and you are able to take into consideration people and things outside of you. When you're comfortable with yourself you will either learn to hate or love everything you see, and it's wonderful.

Simple. You write genre fiction.

>From late October 1870, Rimbaud's behaviour became openly provocative; he drank alcohol, spoke rudely, composed scatological poems, stole books from local shops, and abandoned his characteristically neat appearance by allowing his hair to grow long.[43] On 13 and 15 May 1871, he wrote letters (the lettres du voyant),[44] to Izambard and to his friend Paul Demeny respectively, about his method for attaining poetical transcendence or visionary power through a "long, intimidating, immense and rational derangement of all the senses. The sufferings are enormous, but one must be strong, be born a poet, and I have recognized myself as a poet."[45]

I'm thinking something along these lines. Taking massive amounts of drugs, fucking around being a degenerate, meeting artists and whatnot, but like how do you do this in 2020 and being broke, anxious and basically a loser?
