You must write daily to think clearly.
If you have not written it, how do you know what it is?

The power of words: a typhoon ripping apart a skull. A happy number walking down a street.

Soon you will be fragile. Later you will be broken.

>want to create beautiful art
>never learned an instrument as a kid
>never learned how to draw
>realize I've been writing a lot for school and college


should I write? I have a semblance of a foundation to work off of while I'm totally inept at any other form of artistic expression

but will it be satisfying or rewarding? what if I would be happier being a painter/sculptor or musician?

I'm going to repeat this again because it looks like people here aren't listening at all

NOBODY SAID YOU NEED TO READ ALL THESE WORKS

JUST FAMILIARIZE YOURSELVES WITH THE BASICS CONCEPTS IN WESTERN PHILOSOPHY, ESPECIALLY KEY THINKERS LIKE PLATO, KANT, SCHOPENHAUER AND HEGEL

THIS BASIC GROUNDING IS CRUCIAL, IF YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THEM, YOU WILL GET NOTHING FROM NIETZSCHE

THIS CAN BE DONE IN A FEW HOURS ON WIKIPEDIA, IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING HARD, YOU HAVE THE GODDAMN INTERNET

How should a /lit/erati live their life?

What goals should one pursue and what skills should one refine?

>Paul! How can you say such--

Is this good writing?
