/lit/ - Literature

Should I write some short stories or jump into the novel? The only book I have on writing is Art of Fiction and I'll be reading it after I finish what I'm on now.

I don't know but there was a blind guy piano and he was really good. Mostly I just miss the coffee though. I think anon is on to something about the coffee.

Where is this pic from?

The answer is 2 but it's a poorly designed question because the grid is 2x2 and so the information provided is scarce enough to leave room for interpretation. Typically these questions have a 3x3 grid and it's for good reason.

Not reading all that but this quote explains the Balkan (white knee grow) mindset quite well.

>In the sense that I want to know whether or not it's normal to feel this way. Whether other people have had the same experiences
Nah you’re special. It’s just you.

Honestly, you just sound quite young and depressive. I was like that at your age as well, which wasn’t very long at all mind you, but at some point (hopefully, some people never do) you reach a point where you stop worrying about your “chances” and learn to embrace the suck, to use my own cliché. There’s a beauty in not knowing, in fact that is the essence of what makes art what it is, and I’m sorry to get too mystical on you. That unknowing is where you draw the spirit required to capture your mind’s lightning in a bottle (cliché again but w/e I’ve been up all night). If you’re unable to break out of your need to know, your need to know your chances, which is just your fear of death really, then this delivering beauty turns itself into the terror of sense. You fail to see the greater picture surrounding you and become all too aware of the veritable bath of sensation you’re submerged in at all times. You become aware of your nose and its dominion over your vision. Nobody is more intimate with this reality than the artist anon. Learn to love it.

>There's no survival benefit to painting a buffalo
They did it for religious/cult reasons to which there is a lot of survival benefit. Difficult for moderns to comprehend, but it wasn't just "having fun." Certain pigments used in the paintings were advanced tech back then.

You're finally ready anon.

I suggest you buy Wheelock's Latin. That's how I learned Latin. And it's actually one of the easiest language books I've read. I hate to meme genki, but it's as easy as genki.

i prefer west dutch

except they didn't. Chris' dad didn't allow Chris to get the help he needed because of some old timey notion that they'll put him in some looney bin. And no one did anything to help Chris beyond that attempt to get him special education as a kid. The rest is a result of that decision.
