Some of these are pretty funny.

Why is it called "self-help" anyway? If you're using advice from someone else to help yourself, that's not "self-help", that's help.

Isn't that true for any art form?


Let's try that

>"Painting overall is a very flabby and slouchy art form in general, you need to sit on your ass like a useless piece of shit most of the time in order to do it. It's an artform of rest rather than war. Painting as an art or aesthetic experience is the province of the crippled, honestly to be fair. If you seriously prefer the most artfully and sophisticated painting in the world about sex, eating, climbing a mountain, over actually doing any of those things you are probably crippled in the first place. Nothing wrong with that, and that's why paintings are good for these people, but not all of us are like that."

Yep....

Same goes for movies or any other form of visual or descriptive art.
The only artform that isn't all like that is music. And yet there are genres in music that again go very much with the scheme above.


Sounds like that guy is full'a'shit to me.

You talk like he killed your family or something.

Hey /lit/, this seems like the most appropriate board to post this on.

I'm interested in writing comedy and I was wondering where I should start. Is there anything I should read? Advice/tips?
