Anyone?

How can I write meaningful dialogue that carried the story forward? Right now, I’m mainly writing detailed descriptions of the setting, characters, and actions. I want to have a come to Jesus moment and focus on quality dialogue that helps generate characterization, but I’m sincerely clueless

What's the right wing equivalent of War and Peace?

I find only liberal/left-leaning types to view this book as something Great as opposed to just good.

Wow. You missed a lot of things.

Any books for this feel, lads?

I've heard my family call everything a waste of time. Hobbies, interests, books. I never listened to them, I just found the subjects interesting. I studied philosophy, language, religion. My friends also disliked whenever I mentioned what I was reading, they thought it seemed pretentious or I was trying to appear a certain way.

It only matters if you enjoy it. Even if they're trying to insult you. Fuck them, keep reading. Even if it's fiction. Read whatever you want

Generally, you need to multiply girl's confessed number by 3 for penetrative sex and by 5 for oral only. That was the rule until Tinder came about, nowadays you can't even guess. Shameless sluts even brag about 50 dudes and are disbelief if you give them a judgemental look, others will claim they've had 10 dicks while in reality their bodycount is in triple digits.

He was sensitive and childlike; in addition, he was plagued by maladies both chronic and acute, especially related to his teeth and penis. He had a job which didn't require of him a rigorous process of conforming to the emotional norms of workaday Victorian society, but which did require of him an imaginative overindulgence of the emotional faculties. Perhaps the cluster of these and other affects might fit under the heading of a psychiatric disorder in our era.

Does anyone else live like this? It feels unnatural but it's the only way I can make progress.

Just share a few scenes. You will have to edit your submission anyways right?
>weekend coming up for big writan
I should finish analyzing all the chapters in the 2nd half of this novel this week and by that I mean Im not done writing the scenes from the living outline.

The only possible conclusion from this interdisciplinary marriage with respect to the current context is that there is a direct, positive relationship connecting the width between the eyes, as measured from pupil to pupil, with any given organism’s predatory classification, as it were. Although all humans have eyes positioned at the front of the head, if we take the above argument to be natural law, the width of a man’s eyes must also evidence a number of psychological and temperamental characteristics according to this natural law. As Heffenmütt et al. deduced in their seminal work Riverine Semiotics and Deleuzian Phrenology (1955), and backed up by some promising preliminary research on sympathetically asynchronous parallel reverberations endemic to the parabolic trajectories of rockets and erections, it follows that personality traits such as aggressiveness and intensity increase logarithmically as the distance between the eyes decreases.

This is not a useful deduction.

I've finished Goethe's Sorrows of Young Werther recently and, while I've been told its his worst, I still wish there was more short stories he wrote that shares this vein. I am not sure quite how to describe it, I wasn't massively blown away by any particular component of the story, it's more like every piece was at a certain level of pleasing such that it didn't need to have a dominant draw to capture my attention. What I am curious about is the context, was Goethe writing what he genuinely felt or moreso a reflection of it? Werther seems to profess a perverted version of Kierkegaard's thoughts, and im curious if im just grasping or if other anons got something similar out of it.

the IQ suicide/depression/unhappines goldilocks zone is real anon, its when the person knows they're smarter than an average Joe but too dumb to be a real genius and make a difference

most of /lit/ falls into this zone

Be nice. Reply. Explain to what degree and why others' tastes or worldview is subpar.

Read some comfy Canadian lit, like MacLennan or Ann-Marie Macdonald

>class struggle
No joke, a class focused approach among the a large majority of the (popular) left is seen as being a "class reductionist". This is racist by because it "ignores the particular issues of oppressed groups".
