How do you write a novel?
>>
>>25204864
a few people want things. they each want something different, and they don't have it right now. they try to get what they want, which causes problems. they try to fix those problems, which causes more problems. best if there's some mutual exclusivity going on where character A can't get what they want without blocking character B from getting what they want. describe this until they stop having problems, get what they want, or stop wanting it

a sexual gorilla robot who falls in love with a bossgirl maybe

>>25204033
I do know what to write but I'm too mentally ill to bring myself to do it
You could just write whatever for fun until something clicks. I, on the other hand, have this one obligation I'm constantly refusing
>>
>>25204865
This makes a lot of sense. But I can think of a few characters in some novels that dun wannit and still trudge along as main characters.

We're all beset by conflict of interests in ourselves. Contrary desires. A medley of wills.
Could even say we are each a living novel haha
