/lit/ - Literature

Who is we?
I'm fairly happy with my life.
Theres some things I would like to change, but honestly not much.

I guess some people just wont be happy unless they have it all, which will never happen.

>Do you think internet has devaulated reading because it makes us be hyperactive?

yup, I think that goes for a lot of things.

Maybe that's a sign that you are a moronic, selfish, unlikable ass.
Or the author is a pusswah and don't know how it be.
Ya dig?

thanks bros

I like the comparison but that quote is bullshit.
You need to fuck a 4 to appreciate an 8.

Cant get this shit right. Talk to me /lit/!

The empire was a powerful force, a smart force with the most brilliant minds in the world at its disposal and the resources to put them to use. On the grand continent they had reach as far as they could however. The mountains of the country they referred to as the savage lands acted as a natural fortress that was as good as impenetrable. The villages that sat at the foot of the mountains had long since been laid to ash by the empires attempts to extend its hand even further. Even after the empires retreat the people of the savage lands considered those ruined villages cursed and would not take back their lands. From above, it could be viewed as a clear line between two different worlds. On one side was the omnipowerful empire, and the other side the savage unknowns.

That is that what this story is about though. Because the empire found a new land to reach for. Across the ocean that was once thought to be endless there was a new land. At the shore of this new land there was desert, followed by thousands of miles of more desert, but at the end of the yellow sea of sand there was something else: Eden. Was it something they needed? Probably not, but growth is predisposition and it must continue to grow. The empire reached for Eden, a task that was not undemanding and it would take time, but it could be accomplished. It is in this period that our story takes place. Mainly, the tool they would use to bridge the gap between themselves and the promised land. The answer was simple: Railroads.

Whats the problem?

Diggin it, man. Its real like, whats the word? You know?

That was my point, dumbass. Guess I didn't make it clear...
What I was saying was people seem vapid when you don't have much in common with them. I don't have much in common with most people, so most people seem vapid to me. I acknowledged that and said most people probably arnt, its just when you don't have much in common it SEEMS that way.

Get it?
Bitch.

>>I'm not racist, I hate all races equally XD
shouldn't that be
>I'm not sexist, I hate both genders equally XD

>>4389190
I think most people in general are "vapid", male and female. At least it seems that way when you don't have much in common with them.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my friend.

Depends. Sometimes I'll just give some back story on the character and let the blanks fill in as they will. Other times I'll spend a few hundred words on his/her description. It really depends on the character and from what point of view he/she is being introduced.
I think giving the reader a grasp on their personality is more important then physical characteristics. Sometime physical characteristics can give hints about the characters personality. For example if I were to say "He had a stern face and a small golden crucifix hung from his neck" or something like that you could probably get a decent mental image of what he looks like but also make some deductions about this characters personality (he's probably religious, probably old, probably a dick).

If you see a black man with white hair, he remembers a time when he was a second class citizen. There were certain schools he couldn't go to, certain jobs he couldn't get, even certain bathrooms he couldn't use.
I'm not saying it doesn't annoy me to, I've been hearing about this shit my entire life just like any other american and it does get old, but just think about that. Maybe fifty years from now it wont be a problem anymore, but that time has not come yet.

>The Prophets Prophecy
>The Tower's Pillar
>The Bad Druid
>Talisman in the Kitty
>The Dead of the Apprentice

why the fuck is world of warcraft not on that list?
Even if you hate the ever loving balls out of that game and think there are other games in the genre that are way better, you cant deny that it is one of the greatest achievements in the gaming industry.

>>4368534
Because I enjoy it?
Who gives a fuck what the rest of the world is doing.

Be your own man, man.

well stop wasting time on here and go figure it out, bitch.
Try typing greek philosophy in google and see what the fuck comes up.

>Lots of ideas

>Never actually write anything

I mostly listen to audio books these days.

Started listening to the Mistborn series because someone on here said it was good. It sounded real cliche but figured it would be good for white noise while driving

It's a lot better then I thought it would be.

Does something like that happen on the stand?
If so I'm going to be like soooooo pissed.

you whore!

>City falls into anarchy, police force bails and infrastructure breaks down.
>Main character is in a prison where after the city falls apart all the prisoners are just left in their cells.
>survives by killing and eating his cell mate who was also a good friend of his.
>one scene he tries to convince prisoner in cell across from him to cut his arm off and toss it to him so he can eat that to.
>in prison for weeks, he is the last one still alive
>devil like figure appears and starts roaming the halls, ignores him at first but eventually starts talking to him and feeding him rotten pieces of the other prisoners.

pretty lame, I know

>For as far as we can think back life has constantly been a struggle against the elements.
Throughout history, human life has struggled against the elements.

Don't start a sentence with and or but. I personally dont give a fuck about that rule but colleges might. I imagine they are probably snooty like that.

>Some information maintained life. And was kept.
Comma, bitch

>A case on why individuals need to healthcare-wise stay on top, alert, and taken care of.
A case on why individuals should educate themselves and be alert to healthcare issues.
....or something like that, the way you had it was shitty.

>potentials I order to
'in' order to?

>For society is a home of progress, to which, whole purposely, work, dedication, and stealthy consideration have to be synonymous to the fabric of life.
oh god... um, trim this down some or make it flow better.

also try not to start sentences with it to many times in a row, I guess you can get away with it if you cant find a better way to do it.

>It is not tasked with bringing forward cars that rust, or cell phones that are designed to break after the slightest sign of fatigue.
took out some commas^^^

Ok just real quickly cuz I'm giving up: Don't start a paragraph with and. Don't use words unnecessarily, or let them get in the way of a sentence being easy to understand. If you can get a point across real quickly do it, you dont always have to be all "but perhaps bla bla bla" not to say that you should never do that though.

your last paragraph looks a bit long, try breaking it into two.

Well then post it bitch.

I'm not real big on peotry, but I can apriciate good poetry when I come across it. You know how when your reading a book, and the writer finds a really good way to describe something whether it be an emotion an action or a place.
I guess poetry is about catching that same kind of moment but without all the story and whatnot surrounding it.
I dont know, that's my take on it. Like I said I'm not real big on poetry so someone else probably has some better insight on it then I do.

Where da white bitches at?
