Eeeek! My suspension of disbelief is failing

Eeeek!
My suspension of disbelief is failing. It's a fucking nightmare. I see the strings on Superman. Every plot idiocy goes clunk.
Cliched lines torment me. My dreams are re-hashes of old plots.
It's come to this.
I'm going to have to create something. [shudders]

I did not know that. I believe. There are no strings on you.

A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds. Percy Bysshe Shelley

When someone reads your work
And responds, please be courteous
And reply in kind, thanks.

you know the best part? I don't have to try.
I have perfected a lifestyle of indulgence, laziness and pleasure.
I write what I want, when I want to, work when I want to, indulge whatever I can afford.
Life is beautiful.
