The most embarrassing thing you've ever written

For the writers in here, what's the most embarrassing thing you've ever written?

I'll go first:

Back when I was a braindead teenager, I postponed my senior capstone for an entire semester. :marseycrayoneater:

I originally started designing a whole table top game. This would have included box art, a resource book with illustrations, tables, the whole 9 yards. :marseyreading:

But I was laughed at by 3 fat they/thems when I presented that idea.

So I wrote an awful novella about lesbians going to prom in the last 2 weeks of the project. I admittedly hamed it up for extra points by padding out the plot with needless identity politics. But I got a B+ and multiple classmates said it was the best thing they'd ever read because it spoke to them as :marseylgbtflag3:

In art class our teacher had us watch a video with some artist expounding his view that inspiration was not necessary for art. This pissed me off to the point I unprompted wrote an 8 page digression in opposition, and put it in her inbox. This made her give me compliments on taking the class seriously, which secretly pissed me off more.

You kind of don't though. Like, once you've read and written enough, you can bang out a passable story based on half an idea. Many people have incredibly successful careers doing such.

I'd argue there's still inspiration there. Just a different variety
