/lit/ - Literature

Coming to this thread is actually making me depressed and it shows the current state of things.

There people are not writing for the sake of exposing deep thoughts, or beauty, or truth. These people are writing in order to be read by pathetic lone consoomers that will read about anything and earn some easy cash through it.

I feel good about myself because at least my writing tries to deliver a message. (I plan to be self-published soon), but feels bad that literature had become an empty business that produces pathetic stories.
