/lit/ - Literature

I often go to parties and find myself in conversations with girls (it's a side-effect of being extremely good looking and charming) and my flirting technique in recent years has devolved into me simply saying, 'what do you think of the following sentence?' and then I shamelessly plagiarise the best of /lit/core like 'you will care far less about what people think of you when you realise how seldom they do' or 'they don't have to worry about you knowing the answers if they get you asking the wrong questions.' Of course I tell that that this selection of phrases are all completely original, found in the first draft of my novel-in-progress. The girls always respond with femalisms like, 'oh my god that is so true!' or 'you're so deep!' and from there I usually get with them. I guess girls really do go for the artistically tortured types.

Thanks /lit/.

Will we turn this into a best of /lit/ OC offerings thread?

So how many of you are in the middle of projects intended to rival Ulysses and Gravity's Rainbow, and how many of you are just trying to put together some expendable genre fiction work to try and get an additional cheque in the mail?

I think all aspiring writers should be in a constant state wherein they are attempting to make up new words, how else do you expect to truly connect with anyone else?

Have you coined any words yourself, /lit/?

Evening /lit/, OP here. I'm about to sink my teeth into The Soul Is Not A Smithy. Hopefully I'll get more out of it than what I read last night.
