/lit/ - Literature

never am i more alone then when surrounded by you all hearing you hum

impossible to translate, fuck it

What is it like being intelligent?

Regards, a very stupid person.

The only way I can write is if I promise myself (and mean this promise) to never show my work to anyone without the mask of anonymity. The allure of attention is too high for me, and instead of attempting to create a work of art I am lost in a sea of fantasies relating to my fame and social prestige upon completion.

Is anyone else here like this?

This shit can't be poetry. Your thoughts /lit/

You know, my lit teacher said that you can't say much in "normal speech". "Normal speech" has no expression, no persuasion, no feelings. No successful poet has written a good novel, she said.

How do I prove her wrong?

Your edge is showing

Just keep reading your 1,000 page tome of Palahniuk-esque nonsense.

"But it has footnotes it's so deep maaaaaan"

Those quotes by BrownBear and Stagolee. Jesus Christ almighty. Why would anyone actually think those quotes are worth remembering or writing down. Holy fucking shit, I mad.

Based on that, I've got some more "words of wisdom" that might be up your alley OP:

-The sky is blue, but sometimes it's black and has these little white dots all over the place.
-Some food tastes pretty good, some food tastes pretty bad
-I like breathing; breathing is good
-I also like drinking water; water is good
-Sometimes, for months on end, it gets really cold. But then it gets warmer and warmer, but only until it gets really cold again.

Can I be a tripfag philosopher now?

I want to start reading Kierkegaard, where do I begin?

Are there any graphic novels worth reading? I'm willing to buy one to give them a try.

>dat feel when wannabe writers realize to their horror that they might be judged by their character as well as their writing if they ever make it
