I'm so fucking lame.

Or you can start writing your own novels with all the ideas you have. I'll take a 10% cut for giving you this life altering idea that will make you millions.

The problem with novels is all the boring filler text. I can't write it. I can write big plot points and world building stuff. I can't write "On the third day of their voyage it rained, and everyone got irritated" type shit.

A mean MEAN old chinese man told me that my favorite mahjong tile does not mean violence but instead the exact opposite. I've been slamming down a tile that represents benevolence! Go back to work mean old chinese dude. Nobody wants to play benevolent mahjong with you.

Links to videos instead of news articles. Some sites don't bother to put the little video icon next to stories anymore. Does anyone else rarely watch videos and just prefer to read an article of interest?

I do, sometimes I won't even bother if it's a video with no text to read.

Sometimes I'll click the video but if it's got one of those thirty second ads prefacing the news content I immediately click away. I hate ambush ads.
