My pleasure!
Absolutely. I'm on Android, so if you're not, please disregard the links.
The one I use the most is also a website so you can use it on your phone or browser. It's called Call of Writing. It's a "write or die" style program that provides the prompts but then you can write in the program itself and if you stop writing you lose your progress, which I actually really hate so I don't use it for that. Some people find that motivating, though. It cuts down on distractions drastically, though there is a learning curve.
But it gives you the first sentence of a story and it seems to work great for micro-fiction prompts. I just flip through, finding ones I like and add them to my list.
Another is:

This one is helpful for organizing prompts by the genre that interests you.
(Side note: I also stay motivated by participating in National Novel Writing Month {NaNoWriMo} every November, which now is a great time to get aware of the event if you're not already. October is "Preptober" to get familiar with resources for success and plan your project.
But instead of a novel, because I have too many they need to be edited already, I'm using this year's event to write a series of short stories.
I used mostly this generator to prepare my prompts for the event.)

This should otherwise be the direct link to the app open testing.

It sounds like you feel shame for feeling emotional. The shame blocks you from being able to process emotions. Which in turn blocks you from being able to write seriously about them.
The first step is to get past the shame. You can go to therapy or you can try reading some books to get past it. Books by Brene Brown are pretty good at teaching you how to be vulnerable without looking like you're trying to earn people's pity or taking advantage of others.
You could also try writing some short works (like poems or short stories) about things that matter to you. For example, you could write about the shame you felt when your parents read about your thoughts on suicide. It would open up your ability to convey your emotion in writing.
Self-published books should show up like any other book on Amazon. Only real difference is that down in the metadata on the book, the publisher will be ‘Independently Published’ or something like that.
For example: https://www.amazon.com/Watchmans-Oath-S-Grove-ebook/dp/B094K3JHQ9/
when your friend ate something weird and wanted you to try it.
when you're 3 and your parents are forcing broccoli onto you.
ps: this is a really good creepy writing. it reminds me of-- and i picture this writing in this anime style-- the horror show Junji

Thank you bud. I have recently published a book - The Legend from Runisia.
Check it out. Give it a try if you want to read.
Hook line : What will you do, if your country is erased from existence?
You've likely tried some form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and/or Dialectical Behavior Therapy -- these are really effective for rewiring your learned thought patterns and can be done independently with things like workbooks. Dr. David Burns has some really great books for this.
If you want to work on more boundary setting, especially if you struggle with feeling responsible for other people's moods/reactions, this book might really help. In the least corny way possible, reading this and eventually talking about it with my therapist after a break was incredibly powerful for my healing process.
I hate when people say "read and write," but that's the heart of it. Read the genre you're thinking about getting into, then expand to the other genres to round yourself out. Know what's good, bad, and popular.
There are some great books about writing, such as:
- Stephen King - On Writing
- Noah Lukeman - The First Five Pages
- Noah Lukeman - A Dash of Style
- John Scalzi - You're Not Fooling Anyone When You Take Your Laptop to a Coffee Shop
- Ray Bradbury - Zen in the Art of Writing
- Gotham Writers' Workshop - Writing Fiction: The Practical Guide from New York's Acclaimed Creative Writing School
Write a lot of bad writing, then write more. Play with punctuation, find your voice. You will develop a critical eye and improve your self-editing skills by reading and writing most days.
Write until you think you think you put out something good, then keep writing until that good writing sounds bad.
