Yeah people who shill their own books are really beyond the pale

>>23888044
Is this the "shill your own book" thread?

>>23822550
I'm kind of a big deal around here

It's not the death of literature just a slump, albeit a very bad slump. There are writers in the underground scribbling away right now, publishing their work in dark corners of the internet and with tiny indie publishers, who will carry the torch forward for the next generation.
The people putting out books that sell maybe 300 copies at best now may be the classics of fifty years from now.

For starters remember that it's a marathon not a sprint. You won't achieve JK Rowling levels of success overnight if at all.
Remember that self discipline and determination will get you further than actual talent.
When you're starting out the goal is to get your books in front of readers and this goal outweighs everything else. Every person who reads your book is a victory, every person who reads it and tells someone about it either irl or on Goodreads is a huge victory.
Don't expect any love from the literary establishment, you won't get it, they're too busy praising the latest drek novel about a transgender muslim refugee with autism who fights climate change. Focus on building up your fan base one reader at a time.
Console yourself with the hope that you might be famous after you're dead.

It'll be interesting to see what future biographers write about me, how accurate will they be? Will they view my life and decisions kindly or paint me as an arsehole?

Third book comes out soon

>>23442343
I am and one day i'm going to make it big and you'll all be like "i used to see that guy post his shit in threads"

Despite being one of Australia's oldest KFC employees i am slowly but surely making it.
My first two books continue to sell half a dozen copies nearly every month and i have a new book coming out soon.
Slow and steady wins the race.

Jannies suck my cock!

Behead those who insult Australia!

>>23294891

Posting in the new thread before it becomes completely unhinged with crabs and shitposters

>>23176066
Why the new thread pic? Did something change?

>>23170665
You know where

One day literary historians will comb through these old threads and write books about the geniuses who emerged from this movement.

>>23137365
I'm getting there anon, slowly but surely

>>23114796
Based on my experience anon, here are my recommendations:
Bottle shop, what Americans call a liquor store and Brits call an Off-Licence. Raw material just walking through the door all day every day.
Hospital: work at a large city hospital either as an orderly or a security guard. You will see some shit.
Service station: again, normies coming in and out all day, all kids of people with all kinds of dramas.

Wasn't me but have a read of my book when you get the chance mate

I'm the vanguard of a new literary movement arising from the disaffected young men of modern Australia. We speak for all those shut out of the economy and society of this prison island. We are the Beatniks but without the Americana and homosexuality. We are Houllebecq but without the French pervert mentality. We are Bukowski but with a bigger emotional range. We are the future of literature. Get on the bandwagon now or be left behind.

We're about to enter a new golden era of literature and it's going to be lead by the Australians
