It's a schizoposter, bro. There's no other explanation for having the same pointless argument in a general. I think it's the same one that made the booktuber OPs last year and then had epic arguments about marketing strategy instead of talking about writing.
I wonder if there's a single board that doesn't have schizos. They're even on the porn boards but at least they get in trouble for it.

Read Blood Meridian and then go from there.

Sometimes you just gotta sit down and write. Open up the document and close everything else. People get upset at me a lot but I sometimes won't even know what's going on all day on the weekend.

Unless I think of some amazing title, I haven't named any stories until they were done. I start with tentative titles based on one theme. None published yet, but I think publishers often have better title ideas.

Especially in this age. The future ones will see the poets as the last sane voices in all this decay.

Write what's on your mind.

What's even the point of being a patrician e/lit/ist if you have no friends or gf to see your bookshelf or listen to your literary references?
Are you even a patrician if noone's there to see you ?

I remember

Oh man, do you remember when r9k was just about anything too? And not /misogyny and frog posting general/? Then it was like early /b/ for a while, we discussed all and everything, usually self-betterment and learning was the theme. Such a contrast to today.

Every time I hear a success story like this, I think of how Kafka died alone and penniless, or how Melville was a pauper when he died.

Then I realize that the average person really has no taste at all, and that democracy is probably a huge sham while we're at it.

Since I got a job I'm managing about 20-30 a day, sometimes not even that tbh.

Working life sucks.

If you could play god and select any civilization in history and make it disappear without, which would you choose? History will be altered by whichever civilization that you select, since it would have never existed.

Why don't the people that have issues with it make their own list and call it 'a list' or 'the best list' something.

Solaris - Stanislaw Lem
A Walk in the Woods - Bill Bryson
The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde
A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess
Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail 72' - Hunter S. Thompson

What's is the most engrossing fleshed out book you've ever read? The one that sucked you in so deeply that hours passed by with out you realizing. The ones that made you depressed when you where finished reading.

When you write, do you keep individual files per chapter ? Or do you keep everything in one document ?
