/lit/ - Literature

24 year old English teacher, went to China after university. I took this job to do easy work and have plenty of time to write, and right now I'm living in a 'quiet' suburb near Guangzhou and doing exactly that. Sometimes it's a little lonely, but I've finished one novel and a novella in my year out here so far, and I'm 5500p words into another, so I can't complain.

When I make it? Drink and women and more writing.

And to everyone else in this thread, Korean or German or Aussie NEET, keep going! We'll all make it, lads.

Fair enough

my autistic brother has written the greatest science fiction novel of the 21st century, but he forgot that he wrote it and now pursues a goal recreating dante's inferno in minecraft

should I steal his work and publish it under my name?

There's this girl I go to classes with and who stays in the same halls of residence. She's pretty interesting and I like her. It's quite difficult to present myself because she has the kind of body that sends a man into a primal state of lust: shapely thick legs, big well-rounded bottom, unblemished midriff, large breasts and a lovely swathe of long straight black hair. I try hard to be with her as a person rather than a suitor, I struggle to eye-contact and pay more attention to the details of her face - I found it makes them more human in my own eyes. It's just hard, you know? When she comes out of the bathroom after a shower, wearing nothing but a towel that struggles to conceal her breasts and bottom, her hips swaying so seductively as she saunters past me in the hallway back into her dorm. All I ever manage to say is "Mornin'!" before I carry on to go make a coffee, then return to my own dorm and work.
