>expecting this absolute charlatan to tackle anything intellectually substantial

Why is genre-fiction looked down upon on here?

What makes it so inferior to other literary genres?

>the reader's interpretation is more important than the author's intent

I want to write a book, or i just had the idea to write a book. Should i begin by researching the structure of a book? or should i just start writing? Anons who have written or are currently writing one. any tips? How long should i write for so that it's considered a legitimate book? i did some research but it's all pretty basic shit, or people that want to write books to publish in the market, i don't want any of that. i just want to tell a story and share it anonymously with anons. I also want to do this to improve my writing and how i communicate.

So, any of you guys writing anything?
