/lit/ - Literature

>>17793606
Nice, how did you do it?

>>17793611
Basically I just wrote a whole bunch of mini essays on everything from Plato's Republic to the Bane Plane Scene. Then I connected them loosely with a ramshackle plot of an autistic guy interacting in cringeworthy conversations with random people. The essays are the autistic guys inner monologues between events.

>>17793625
So it's literally your diary then?

>>17793649
Yeah.

You're a big book.

>>17793652
For the reader

>>17793657
Was writing a meme book part of your plan?

>>17793606
how about you share it nerd?

>>17793666
Of course

Hypocrite OP! Mon semblable! Mon frere!

>>17793672
Ok, let me upload to to google docs or something really quick. Please hold. It's very short, about 40 pages total.

>>17793683

>>17794259
It is quite schizophasic, I'll give you that

>>17793606
Nice transparency faggot

>>17794644
What? Do you have any conception of what schizophasia even is? OP's writing isn't nonsensical, it's just dumb and bad.

>>17794644
Thank you, I suppose.
>>17794661
Transparency in what?
>>17794666
Well I appreciate your critique, though scathing. Care to elaborate on where I went wrong?

>>17794687
>Transparency in what?
The OP image you phonebrained simpanzee

>>17794703
Oh sorry. I just kinda downloaded it from either 4chan or google, I'm sorry about the transparency.

>>17793625
>>17793606
Unironically dangerously based

nice op keep going :)

>>17793606
Amusing, I kek’d

dangerous based

I'm not going to read this drivel, but I liked what I read.

>>17794687
>Well I appreciate your critique, though scathing. Care to elaborate on where I went wrong?
Not that anon, but simply put this story of yours is incredibly unrefined. I recommend that you read through it again, correct linguistic errors, overall just rewrite it. I know this may sound like me arbitrarily waving off your labours, but such things will be the bare minimum of what you'll have to do if you actually want this to result in an published book.

>>17793606
Hey man, really enjoying this so far. It has personality and it's not dripping in the world-hating edge typical of this place. It's more playful and irreverent. I don't read much postmodern stuff (I'm more of a 19th-century realist guy) but I get that vibe. I think it's well written and funny. Good job. Who are your influences?

>>17795499
Well alright, I will certainly take your advice. I tried to get all the spelling errors but I wasn't using any spellcheck program.

>>17794259
I like it so far, not bad desu

>>17795514
My main influences were people like Vonnegut and Camus. Specifically Slaughter House Five and The Stranger. I felt the books could've both could've been really funny if they were straight comedies (SlaughterHouse was funny but it was kinda dark).

>>17795518
It's not just that, over usage of fullstops, clunky writing style, I could go on. If you wish to actually make this into a book, it will need to be in pristine shape before a publisher considers it, and even after that they will most likely have you rewrite it multiple times.

>>17793683
>40 pages
>book
What?

>>17793606
We don't care

>>17795607
It's a very short book, a novella / short story.

anon i love this so far, some hearty chuckles, i'm saving it to my computer, should i give it an author name or leave it as anon?

>>17795764
Yeah leave it as anon . I think it's a fitting name for the work.

Sorry anonymous author I have tapped out after the socratic dialogue and the 4chan spergery. While it wasn't the worst thing I've read all day, your ideas were pretty shitty, the same can't be said for your dialogue or interactions; that is funny shit.

So write something with the wit you show, and please drop the wannabe retarded philosophical synopses. Because autism in literature is an untapped market ready to be exploited.

>>17795787
this is legitimate genius, its how i imagined every /lit/izen, i'll share one of mine later

>>17793683
it's funny
you get to know what an autistic mind thinks of, and that you're not alone

>>17793606
Good for you, mate. Have being working with my own material for a year, but it's just a pile of shit-tier kafka'esque short stories with some humorous overtones.

Should be writing as we speak, but here I am, posting on some frog forum.

>>17795852
send the fuckers, i have a kafka fetish and a lot of my work is inspired from him

>>17793625

>>17795392
Holy based.....I want more.....

>>17794259
All praise to the grocery stores.

>>17794259
I'm saving it, what is the title you'd give it? Also great job, I hope you publish this someday

>>17794259
> I speed walked away posthaste

>>17796214
Jumblefuck is it's title.

>>17793606
No you didn’t.

>>17793606
Good job OP, I will read it tonight.

>>17796215
bro this is the first thing that made me laugh today thanks LMAOOOOO

fren keep going
even if it seems unimportant or if other are telling you stop
you'll get better eventually

>>17793606
>>17793625
very cool

>>17793606
Daily reminder that it's not a book unless it's actually bound and published. Otherwise it's just a manuscript or, dare I say it, a work in progress.

>>17794259
Very good Op, keep up the work.

>>17793700
Very autistic. Thank you.

>>17797131
ok shitbag
post your book or manuscript here

>>17797131
my cock is bigger than yours

>>17795791
>autism in literature is an untapped market

>>17793625
is the main character like the one in martin eden?

>>17793700


YOU SHOULD REVISE IT A FEW MORE TIMES, EDIT IT PROPERLY, AND TOKENIZE IT.

>>17795996
Actual autist vs quirky teehee 'autist' larper

>>17795996
>>17798035
this. clearly

>>17797891
I never watched the movie but yes if the character is just a weird pseudointellectual autist.

>>17798035
>>17798090
autism is a scale. also, the argument is fembrained and the dumpy one is clearly just jealous.

>>17793606
I like the concept of a day in the life of a jejune autist. The combination of action and thought is done quite well

My main problem with it, however, is that the writing feels quite artificial and contrived. (This is distinct from the effect of the writing e.g. Camus in the Outsider produces the effect of artificiality without his writing feeling artificial.) If this is a first draft (well done!), I would consider making another draft

Another criticism is the philosophical disgressions seem quite commonplace e.g. the quantum universe theory seems like something out of Rick and Morty

With rewriting, it could be a very good work

>>17798105
>I never watched the movie
>the movie

>>17793606
Well done OP, join the club, now you just have to convince more than a dozen people to actually read it.

>>17798111
Checked, but it's clear that that woman is not autistic and is just pretending to do so for upcummies.

>>17793625
post it

>>17793625
i would read it

>>17794259
>muh cool negro is the third character introduced
try to do better, one isnt a better person because they shuck and jive with niggers

now that's what I call SOUL

>>17793606
>>17794259
Just finished reading it, OP. Pretty cool but I wouldn't reread it. I admire that you had the drive and the ambition to start AND finish the work, and you were brave enough to share it. A fun stream of consciousness project.

>>17793700
>>17794259
> INTRODUCTION: Hi.
kek, very good, anon

>>17794259

Lmao this is actually pretty funny. Good for you anon.

>>17798035
I'm not sure we can ascertain either is autistic, but we can ascertain they're both narcissistic.

>>17794259
I read it with the voice of Malcolm from MITM.

>>17793700
My brother took mescaline from a peyote cactus. He ended up chasing me around with a meat cleaver and trying to set the house on fire. I do not reccomend

Dear Anon,
I hereby endorse your book, "Jumblefuck";

F.G.

>>17793625
That's the thing about writing a book that noobs don't understand. You basically just write a bunch of smaller stories, essays etc, that are tangentially connected and then slap them together and pave over any of the inconsistencies. If you can write a short story you can write a novel. Just write 15 short stories with the same characters and connect them in a vaguely believable way.

>>17801203

>>17794259
