You probably read Henry James like the faggot you are.

>multiple people saying they won contests and were ashamed of it

I cannot fathom you people who post like this. I have an overpowering ambition. I crave glory and recognition. I would jump at the chance to win a writing contest.

Why the fuck is this thread up? This isn't literature related at all. When did we become the dumping ground for lonely losers to bitch about their problems? OP, you are a faggot and you should kill yourself.

>>oh no she has the legendary sword, here is a text why the sword so legendary, no I won't show and don't tell, in fact I will do exactly the opposite for the rest of the book

>Bottom row is so fucking true. I've read like six books it's pure vomit


and this. whole fucking thread is full of fourteen-year-olds too scared to defend anything they like in case someone calls them a faggot, so they reflexively shit on it. still waiting for the cunt up here - >>7951177 to provide examples of what he thinks are cliches, and this other cunt here - >>7951146 to explain what he means by a well-though out character.

i doubt we'll hear from any of them, because having deposited their tiny turds in the punchbowl, they vanish.

Do you ever find yourself inventing new words when you write a paragraph? Like something that seems like it would make sense but it's just not a word?
For instance:

efficiate:

the process of saving time or money through cutting corners or bypassing events

“please submit your hurt feelings report to the paper shredder to efficiate company time"
