I do all of my composition in the URL bar of my browser. This text field is ideal for creative writing. I will compose a few sentences before copypasting it to the chat dialogue of my Minecraft server and exporting that into a text file and posting it to a pastebin.

Then I will print roughly one hundred to 2000 copies of every word in the English language (according to an algorithm that I wrote that weighs the distribution of individual letters based on their value in the game of Scrabble) in six point typefont at the local library (I can use the library showers while it prints) which I’ve managed to pare down to a cost of $6200 USD.

Then I will painstakingly cut out each letter by hand before collating them and organizing them into a system that I developed using a combination of C++ and a series of physical (brand name) Rolodexes from the late seventies to the early eighties. From here I will prepare to edit my manuscript by purchasing about $14,000 USD worth of masking tape and gluegunning my individual words onto the tape according to my pastebin.

After building a very long wooden fence, I will then adhere the tape to the fence, which runs the length of my parents’ 140 acre property in rural British Columbia (and several kilometres onto their neighbours livestock easement (in Alaska)) and hire a local stableboy to check twice my work. Here I can edit and revise my work before transcribing it onto A4 via a mechanical typewriter for my agent’s sake, which then—I assume—she must subsequently scan and save to a PDF file before sending that off to any publishers.

This entire process is a very powerful method of writing and allows for more creative control than Microsoft Word or Google Docs (I might use Scrivener but it isn’t free plus Alexa Donne uses Scrivener and nobody wants to be caught with the same desktop icons as she has). I strongly recommend this system to anybody who considers themselves to be seriously dedicated to their craft, and might even suggest that employing any less technical pretence than this comprehensive approach disqualifies you as a writer and that if you don’t reply to this post your mother will die in her sleep.

You’re never going to make it trying to impress people who don’t actually enjoy books. That’s why we come to /lit/ to peddle our smut and covet validation.
