>this longwinded answer actually has some merit to it

Maybe she's just not comfortable with her self yet in front of him, man. Try being more supportive of her instead of being a nagging beta incel.

Alright, I'm going to assume that the issue you're having is slowly drifting away from the document as you're working on it, which is probably you running at the end of your attention span, which is perfectly normal. Not everyone can write non-stop. Assuming you've removed all distractions, perhaps you simply haven't come to enjoy writing enough yet, so it's wearing on your attention span as effort rather than enjoyment and takes some refractory period before you can dive in again. If that's the case, just stick with it until you either develop enough confidence and skill to enjoy writing to its fullest, or enough to know it's not interesting enough to you to hold you after your hypothetical "effort-o-meter" runs dry. But again, writing every day will make writing easier and easier. You should add your word count for that day to your calendar. It will motivate you.

Another possibility is that you're frequently running into roadblocks in your writing, such as not knowing how to phrase something, not knowing how to write a character's dialogue, or where to take the story. It can become frustrating if you don't feel like the words are flowing onto the page, much like stop-and-go traffic is more annoying than simply slow traffic. To help this, you again, just need more experience and confidence, but also enough imagination and creativity to help you through. Work on your outlines and have a good idea of what needs to be established and generally how you're going to do it before writing. Read more books and keep track of all your little ideas you might have, no matter how small.

If your problem is that you're just a fundamentally lazy person, well, good luck. It takes years to undo that.

Im not the guy who you are responding to but they are completely right. An obvious example of how he is right is the entire Romantic period, which was a rejection of the Enlightenment

This ends by at least the 1860's, a century before the 1960's where postmodernism is taking off.

An entire century and two world wars have occurred. People in 1960's were not reacting to the Enlightenment as if they were the romantics of the first half of the 1800's.

That is fucking retarded.

Which is the best route to go between self-publishing or traditional publishing? I've been reading up on the pros and cons of both, but I can't seem to settle on one.
On one hand, having creative freedom with titles, covers, characters, and my own story sounds great, but doing everything on my own sounds way out of my league.
On the other hand, I like the thought of getting my book out into book stores and possibly win prizes etc. but the thought of spending around 3 and a half years at least to hire an agent, be accepted by a publishing agency and actually be published is infuriating because I want to get started right away.

Any advice, guys?

So your counterargument is that Alan Moore likes him

Great.

I understand where you are coming from but please, don't try and make a happening here on /lit/

Anons always want some hype but it is almost always shit. Cuck is not a happening, /pol/ is not important. 4chan has its place in meme culture but it isn't that special

We aren't that special. It is not happening.
