/lit/ - Literature

Part of me wants to write a book just so when you fuckers write those "how's that novel coming along" threads I can be like "it's finished, thanks for asking". And the only thing that is holding me back is the fact that no one would read it.
I've made this mistake before. I've tried to prove that I have discipline and can finish projects before, and that discipline and determination is always wasted on things that have no real world applications. Senseless pointless activity for the sake of ego.
I don't care about getting published. I don't care about being famous. I just want it to have some value to someone that's not me. Otherwise I'll spend my time on some other pursuit of more value (probably a side hustle that makes money)
