Aspiring writer here, I want to look the part. How should I dress?

>> No.17401279

Dress how you imagine a Thomas Pynchon or Hunter S Thompson character would. If you haven't read both of those artists, don't bother starting to write.

Don't listen to >>17401279.
All critically appraised writers always have something in common – they all have their own unique styles. Being a wannabe will lead you to mediocrity.

Are you really trying to say that Pynchon does not have a style of his own?

If you have to dress like a writer, that means you're not a writer.

I'm not trying to emulate Pynchon nor do I have his goofy looks. If any, I look utterly average. In terms of writing Hemingway and Carver are the ones I look up to the most.

WHAT EVEN IS AN «ASPIRING WRITER»? «WRITERS» —REGARDLESS OF WHATEVER YOU MEAN BY THAT— DO NOT DRESS A CERTAIN WAY; THERE IS NO READYMADE «WRITERS' UNIFORM»; INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO ACQUIRE AN IDENTITY, DEVELOP YOUR PERSONALITY.

Someone who writes but has yet to be published. If we assume that it is possible to convey a concept through clothing, it follows that it should be possible to express one's interests through it too. In this case, writing.

RIGHT, BECAUSE ALL WRITERS —WRITERS OF WHAT?— DRESS IDENTICALLY.

Yeah I haven’t read Naked Lunch but I read The Place of Dead Roads and about half of The Ticket That Exploded and based on those I think Cronenberg was the only man for the job.

Start writing and you'll naturally look like a writer. In your case, probably an unfathomably shitty writer, but a writer nonetheless.
