Regarding Texts From Last Night, F My Life, My Life is Average, et al:

I think it’s really great that these sites exist.  Remember when you had to write short stories in high school?  And you’d be like, “Ugh, I have no idea where to start,” because they had to be fiction but I could never get out of my head enough to write a completely fictitious short story so it would always be about a vaguely familiar unpopular girl with really thick hair that she wished people paid more attention to (me) and her unrequited love for a vaguely familiar popular soccer player with beaver teeth (Tim B——)?  All I see when I visit these sites is short story prompt after short story prompt.

Kids these days have it so easy.
