/lit/ - Literature

Thank you. I'm showing this post to my mom next time she calls me a loser.

A few weeks ago I realized that I was barely writing on any of my current projects, but was probably exceeding a thousand words a day shitposting here and on /his/ about the ideas I want to express in my "real" writing.
So, I started pasting my more coherent posts into a master document and idly editing it between posting, going back to elaborate on certain ideas when I get inspired by the course of conversation in a thread.
It's been less than a month, and for the first time in my life I can see the beginnings of a completed work rising from the wasteland of dozens of half-baked projects. I'm tens of thousands of words into this one project and it's felt like no work at all.

Have you had a moment like this, where you all of a sudden find the "process" that works for you?

These articles make me feel better about myself.

>why would you do so?
Literally for no other reason than pic related.

I am empathetic, like most humans, and so the bad feelings of others which they experience as a result of the death of their child would lead inevitably to bad feelings in me. This phenomenon is captured with other similar experiences in the concept of 'guilt'.

If I save the child and perform a service to my fellow man they will be grateful to me, and as mentioned above I am empathetic and their good feelings will probably lead to 'pride' in me.

But the root of all this motivation is simply because that is how I am. There is no conceivable way to transfer 'how I am' to 'how I ought to be' save invoking God - or worse, heathen
spirituality disguised as reason.

Are there any books that have good arguments for the legalization of sex with minors? We've already normalized homosexuality and transgenders, so pedophilia is the natural next step. We need to fight against bigoted pedophobes.

I still have bad days of course but the suicidal tendencies have ceased and I embrace life even with all its flaws. Hold tight brethren you will surely accomplish your goal
