/lit/ - Literature

Unfortunately it is. Then the whole nature vs nurture debate pops into my head, thinking if people are stupid by choice because of supposed "comfort" or are inherently inferior. And then I think it's a mixture of both but still impossible to tell who chose to be and who is a degenerate.

ALMOST! JUST THE ONE WITH THE BUSINESS CARD! PLEASE BATEMAN, DO IT FOR ME!

Ok /lit/, so, let's talk about themes that are worth writing about, or even reading.

Is there such a thing as anything "worth" writing about? I've noticed a lot of the times I've talked myself out of writing something that I was feeling was because I thought it was not really lit-worthy, and no matter how good I managed to write it or whatever, the idea itself was not worth more than an entry in a shitty personal blog or would just fit in some YA fiction tier

But now, thinking better about it, I've come to think maybe there's no such thing as "worthy" themes. I mean, someone who doesn't know how to write would never be able to write something decent even if presented with the best philosophical idea, i think that's obvious, but maybe the reverse can also be true (ie: that someone who's into writing and has talent -not to say I have, in general- can make something decent even with the most boring or apparently cliched theme.

Is it really that important? Or is prose the most important aspect of writing?

I think I'm currently inclinating more towards believing the second.

(also in my case i don't think it was the best idea to stop writing, because i don't think i'll ever be the next literary genius or whatever, i use it just as a way to express myself and well... to believe the things that are into my inner self are not worth writing about could easily be interpreted as that life itself is not worth living)

And if I ignore an idea for a while it gets to a point that i just "lose" that idea, i mean, i'm not going to feel inspired to write it if I don't write it at the very moment I get it.

So. What are your thoughts on this?

I hope i get more serious responses than troll ones. Even though I know i'll get troll ones; but i just hope the proportion is favorable.

PS: As a note, if I have any grammar or spelling mistakes, it's because i'm not a native english speaker and i actually write in the one that is my native one.

I had to state it to anticipate the obvious troll response that if I redact like this it'd be better not to write anything at all and blah blah.

Don't leave me hanging, OP. I busted my ass on this one >>9257586.
