/lit/ - Literature

I have a hard time writing in the moment. I often use dialogue to propel a character or two in a scene, but about 60-70% of my work is either a repressed vignette of an event based on the dialogue, or the character's own inner thoughts. Though not in a 3rd person limited sort of way, but an omniscient way that often leads into those vignettes.

I have a methodology with my writing, as I want to emphasize psychedelic digressions, mundane things appearing profound, looseness of plot etc. However, I feel that most people are going to end up reading my work and just not care simply because it's purposely not engaging in an active sense, characters are revealed through the contradiction of the prosaic repressed thoughts, and their dialogue, rather than by the movement of the plot itself. And although I'm not a plotfag, I sometimes feel I'm way too loose with plot, and that half the time characters sort of sit in a situation and discuss things, and their locations differ based on where they end up going.

Are there any novels that sort of embody that sense of passivity but also have incredibly compelling characters and themes? Is the only way to have truly good characters to write them in an active, less cerebral and heady sort of way?

I hate this modern speed of books. I just want to write a forward momentum novel that focuses on inner vignettes of past repressed psychedelic emotion and the day to day events are unfolded through "mundane" dialogue. It's not a compendium of vignettes entirely, but there's just a lot of them as they relate to aphorisms

I'm one of the top Waldun Scholars.

>coinned the term Waldunchads back when The Learned Disguise was first pirated (by combining the words Waldun + Chads)
>Made 95% of all pepes and waldun edits you see on this board
> Kept the L'Académie hype alive with my dear frens with comfy pepe threads.

I'm definitively one of top scholars on the world. I should be knighted.

Just read through everything on poetryfoundation.org and there is nothing that could resemble the Milton quote. I will look through his complete works using the search words of innocence, darkness, and lost. Any other word I should check?

Same. Waldun threads were comfy back then, just checking a comfy thread and seeing all the familiar posters...but now it seems all eyes are on them. Comfybros what have we done?
