I swear to fucking christ, this board is just 100 different wannabe authors shilling themselves these days isn't it?

Where do I start with poetry?

in my experience, proto-zoomers (95-99) are usually the most based compared to the rest of the bretheren, since they got to see civilisation and culture taken from them as kids and teenagers and had technology forced upon them against their consent

I feel bad for ye

Because everything else is a waste of time too, at least reading makes me feel good

I keep running out of Zen. Recharge my Zen please help help help

What are some books that talk about the benefits of No Fap, and methods of abstaining?

I want the benefits to energy levels, concentration and productivity but I'm struggling over here.

I will hide cryptic messages in my books so that people will still try to decipher them years after my death

How do you deal with having a large backlog of mostly series? Read the whole series in one go and try to power through it or read a book out of the series then something else before coming back to it to avoid burnout?
I got a ton of books I want to read but only two of them are just individual books.

Just finished the Gormenghast trilogy, many strong feels. Peake is such a colourful writer.

Is this cause you were all philosophy majors

Misery builds character - that is if some of your optimism manages to survive the incessant beatings that it takes.

That's the only silver lining I have for you here. Sorry. I know how shitty your situation feels, believe me.

I need a strong mononym, /lit/, give me something. strong deference to reasonably obscure historical references and/or Borges.

I've been sitting on a few things for awhile awhile and needs something to put something out under.

I shit on bukowski and those that like him regularly, but have repeatedly gone back to him when I get really drunk and get pretty into his verse after like 8 or 9 drinks.

Does this make me a pleb in the deepest parts of me soul

This is actually... pretty much exactly the situation I'm in right now. My editor says green light. A personal friend who is a best-selling historical fiction author says green light. But no trad houses have bit.

I can't bring myself to self publish. I know nothing about marketing, and the self-publishing entity is, in my mind, literally a slush pile. If I put it there, it will vanish. And having it vanish like that is worse than continuing to fight for a publisher, when my editor and mentor both think the product is worthwhile.

Fight the good fight, I suppose. Do you think e/lit/ists should consider self-pubbing in this scenario?
