/lit/ - Literature

What do you listen to while writing? I need something that isn't anime soundtracks.

Ecelebs are fucking garbage. I use youtube to listen to music

It’s a story i l’ve been thinking of that draws from my childhood. Let me know what you guys think or whether it has any potential. This is basically an excerpt.

Chang rode away from us in what was basically a sunset, though our warming star was closer to noon than midnight to be sure. Yet we had been outside playing with water guns for hours. Chang had only left because i kept spraying him in the face, though he was too cowardly to admit it and kept saying that he had to look after his younger brother. We all watched him leave, after which my friend jessica turned to me, tucking her thumbs under the front of her bikini bottom so that i could catch a swift glimpse of her luscious bush while she swept her hands back and forth releiving her waist from the pressure.

“What do you want to do now?” asked Daisy, who had been sitting on the grass texting her boyfriend until she caught me looking where i shouldn’t have been.

“I don’t know,” I said, “have you guys thought about strange some people are. Like i was listening to Seth Rogan the other day—“

By this time Jessica had started jumping on the trampoline. She seemed ro be picking some meat of her teeth because i could see her tongue proteuding from her mouth. “Hey hop on!” She exclaimed, “guess what trick I’m going to do next!”

She was always cutting me off. Out of all my friends she was the most selfish irritating cunt I couldn’t stand.

“You’re not listening,” I said, “I’m telling you I’ve noticed a huge cultural pattern that goes back at leadt two centuries, whereby highly educated professionals subtly drop redpills about their perversions and ecce homo thoughts in books, sometimes even scientific, whose subject matter is conpletely unrelates—“

I stopped talking because by that time Daisy had already taken her shoes off, jumped on the trampoline and has basically started lighting a fire between her and Jessica’s tits.

“I bet you can’t do this’” Daisy challenged me, doing a backflip so that her skirt rode up to her waist.

Just an hour earlier Jessica had sat on my lap as she showed me pictures she had posted on facebook, the most memorable one being the one where she had placed her phone on the floor and taken a picture while she was on the toilet. Daisy had done the same thing, focusing on explaining the picture from disney land while her stepdad was laying on the floor, her younger sister smiling next to him while he held her while jessica layed on the floor between his legs holding her left ankle up like an akward doofus.

By this time i was tired of their boring nonsensical conversations that meant nothing to me. “You’re not even listening to me!” I exclaimed, getting up and putting my feet in my adidas slippers.

“You never fucking listen to me. You just show me your stupid pointless pictures and spread rumors and flip your hair like idiots. I could be skateboarding right now...

Does anyone else here struggle to make contributions to discussions on literature in settings like university tutorials?

I think it's fair to say that I am engaging with the discussion in that I am processing the views expressed, but I am certainly not making any contribution of my own. While I have views on most subjects of literature, I can not get past the fact that I am but a lowly undergraduate, and have no exceptional experience in the field I'm going to make a claim in. It seems as though there are some people who have an opinion on every kind of literature and topic, how does one become more like this?

If a new book confuses you when you start reading it, is it a bad book or are you just a pleb?
