/lit/ - Literature

When you write your literature do you have a specific premise/plot in mind? Do you draw out your characters and setting before hand?

Or do you just start writing and go with the flow?

his death turned suffering into a virtue, suffering for what is good anyway

>Why don't you decide to believe that you can fly?

Because I believe I know my limitations and God hasn't given me the power to fly.

>Or live in a mansion?

Because I have faith in my senses. And they don't reveal I live in a mansion.

Unless you mean the mansion of my interior life which is splendid.

Gormenghast.

>Awful. Boring. Torture. I would not wish anyone to read this book. I had very high hopes, as I purchase most books based on User Reviews. This book does not deserve 1 star...My favorite fantasy type authors are Patrick Ruthfus, Brandon Sanderson, Raymond Fiest, and Conn Iggulden. If you like any of these authors, then you will HATE this GhormangiestGarbadge. Do Not Buy This Novel! Even if you run across it in a garage sale and it was FREE - it is still not worth opening. It moves slower than a snail, the plot is non-existent, the characters are bland and boring, and the author puts you to sleep on every-single-page. This book took me 3-months to finish, even skipping entire sections out of bordom

Yet this bright guy gave the book "Heaven is Real" 5/5 stars.

I have.
What about it though?

Life is an anarchy of light and dark: nothing is ever completely fulfilled in life, nothing ever quite
ends; new, confusing voices always mingle with the
chorus of those that have been heard before.

Everything flows, everything merges into another thing, and the mixture is uncontrolled and impure; everything is destroyed, everything is smashed, nothing ever flowers into real life.
