@i-am-insane I had the same problem writing this one story. I was just writing violence and psychological horror smut at the time, so a slice-of-life dramedy was kinda new.
As of now, that little experiment has become my longest-running story. I did stop writing it after a while, but I still looked back on it for inspiration from time to time. if getting inspired by my own work doesn’t make me sound like an egotist.
My advice, try writing some of those cringy ideas out. You might actually like them.
