All three of my romance novels flopped Anonymous 04/21/22(Thu)08:22:09 No.20252862▶>>20252871 >>20252912 >>20252961 >>20253180 >>20253185 >>20253203 >>20253219 >>20254711 >>20254724 >>20254731 >>20254740 >>20254742
>friend is a romance author
>made $100,000 last year
>decide to become a romance author myself
>challenging and time consuming
>work 3 months straight
>my books totally flop.

I am currently trying to do a fourth but it is seeming very futile at this stage. How do I write romance in a way that middle aged normie women, and gays appreciate?

You have to pick one, it's impossible to appeal to both in significant numbers

Women love rape and someone to take care of them. Also pirates

Gay men are like men and they like physical things

Just get the bestsellers, distill their formula and archetypes and just fill the rest for your books. Don't tell me you're actually trying to make up shit.

It's all about marketing and not how you write.

Write abusive smut. That's what holes like. Arrogant bullies who are also tall, muscular, rich, and for some reason obsessed with them even though they're mediocre females.

Have you people actually read this? Open it at any page and it's just like reading shitposts from "Write What's on Your Mind" threads. Is this the best Portugal has to offer? Is insipid pseudposts all that's left from a nation that used to have a beautiful empire?

Involution: China, India, and the West: Do all civilizations go through the same type of decline? Or does it depend on their character and circumstances? According to Evola in RATW, Guenon in Reign of Quantity, etc., we see the pathway described in pic-related. But I also have heard about how the esoteric traditions of the West managed to strike a careful balance between appreciating the material and the spiritual world. China focused too much on the material, while India focused too much on the spiritual, while the West did fine... for a while. What does that mean? It seems like the West and China are sharing in a similar civilizational pathway. But wouldn't that mean that India faced its own civilizational decline that is some kind of mirror image of involution in the opposite direction (i.e., spiritual while neglecting the material)? If so, what would that look like?

>In Creative Evolution, Bergson starts out by criticizing mechanism as it applies to the concepts of life and evolution. The mechanistic approach would preclude the possibility of any real change or creativity, as each development would be potentially contained in the preceding ones. What's wrong with each development being potentially contained in preceding developments? Why does he say it can't be?

There are two female writers inside of you: One has a rape fantasy. The other one also has a rape fantasy.
