It's not suffering if I'm doing things like writing and enjoying myself.

There are a lot of people in 2021 who have no mental challenges and they're not exactly happy or fulfilled people. I feel pretty fulfilled writing and, despite the challenges, it has some very bright moments.

Last night I went for a stroll after dark, just to contemplate how to finish the YouTube video I've been working on. I heard some wind chimes from a house nearby and it was the first serendipitous moment I've had in awhile. Put a smile on my face.

I cherish your "seek help" posts because it helps motivate me to continue the battle. Seems like 6+ months later I'm still at it, and you're still trying to tear me down. It also shows the other anons that writers on here cannot be bullied into quitting.

You are literally describing the symptoms of the early stages of schizophrenia. I've seen what this illness does to people. It hits creatives the hardest. Next you are going to see references to your writing in the real world. Famous writers are going to steal your ideas and change the words and images to avoid accusations of plagiarism. You'll realize that you are on a mission from a higher power, or possessed by the ghost of a long-dead philosopher, or that you're all alone in a world haunted by demons that can only be seen by people who know. And then you'll realize that words are given value by context and tone, and you'll make the logical leap that words and numbers don't actually matter, and then you'll be filling journals with obscure "formulas" which you believe work because you did two pages of them hoping to hack the code of reality to pay your rent, and then you saw a bunch of new posters around town advertising a new business, and you can see the code they're sending that means they're on your frequency and you need to sneak in and you don't know what you'll find but it's going to prove to everyone...

I have seen it. I had a friend who was a musician. It meant everything to him. And he had the talent to make it happen. But he didn't like the way his pills made him feel. That paragraph I just typed above are all direct quotes from him, just replace writing with music. It is a painfully tragic thing to see happen. His friends and family eventually got tired of babysitting him, I now see him on the streets. He does nothing but laugh and his face is chapped and he kind of vaguely recognizes me, but he doesn't know my name, and he'll hit me up for cigarettes or weed. He eats out of the garbage. I'm not going to tell you to seek help because I know you won't. I would just suggest that you take a break from writing and the internet. Maybe you don't have schizophrenia but you are working at an insane pace and that is not good for anyone. If you can take a trip to the countryside for a few days, then do that. Come back to your life with fresh eyes, kind of like when you edit. I mean that legitimately and sincerely and as much as you annoy me you're still a human and I believe we have an obligation to prevent suffering when we can. You aren't suffering yet because society insulates people from the consequences of momentary impulses, but by the time you are suffering, you'll be too far gone to notice.

So I guess I'll participate in good faith. I began writing for roughly the same reason Orwell did. It was just something he knew he would eventually do, and everything else was just a distraction. I read a lot since childhood, and it just felt natural that after a while I would want to write stories of my own. But it seemed more of a fantasy than a practical goal, and so I studied criminal justice and joined the army and worked a lot of menial jobs hoping to find a wife and build a comfortable life for myself. But much like Orwell, I'm sub-autistic and simply cannot fit in with mass society. Now, at the age of 30, with some savings and a cheap room, I have decided to work part time and try to make a career of my writing.

I began my career writing short stories, in the hopes that I could sell one or two and then tell myself "You gave it a shot and failed. Now you can retire from writing and get a life" and I could trot them out when my son was 14 and started developing foolish notions that he could evade the meat grinder of commercial society by developing some creative passion. None of them found publication, but they were warmly received on 4chan, which was enough encouragement for me. I spent many years blindly typing before I considered looking for advice and started actually studying and analyzing. I would say that although I have been writing my entire life, it was only at the age of 27 that I got serious and began refining my style and aims.

And so now I have two full-length novel manuscripts and I am almost done with a third. With a bit of editing, I hope to soon join the hallowed ranks of 4chan authors such as F Gardner and John David Card. I hope I can resist the urge to self-shill. If they can start paying my rent sometime in the next six months and there are a couple organic threads discussing my work on /lit/, I will consider myself a profound success. If I had to describe my work, I would call it "mid-twenties American male wish fulfillment" regarding the collapse of society. It is extremely melodramatic and sentimental in tone and subject matter, basically like YA dystopian fiction but for the idiots who post on /pol/ like "ywn overthrow the government with your militia buddies" or "oh honey you hit your head. covid? lol its time to go shear the sheep."

It's three books. The first is Panther Pride and its riddled with amateur mistakes, but its a story of middle schoolers rioting and taking over their school. They split into two factions, the jocks who just want to have fun and piss off the authorities, and the nerds, who want to draft a list of complaints and demand reform. Conservatives and liberals, with the extremist moderates represented by the school faculty and law enforcement who are laying siege to the school, determined to preserve the status quo at all costs. It took me three years to write this one, and its 120,000 words. It will be 60,000 when I'm done editing, because a lot of the themes were better expressed in my next two novels.

The second was called The Savage Green. Its a story of a paramilitary contractor who is hired to recover a rogue scientist from the Florida Panhandle. It was more or less inspired by bullshit that I posted on /x/, pic related was reposted to reddit, which inspired me to spin it out into a novel. The result is a highly-experimental structure, switching between the protagonist's journey through the swamps of the panhandle, and his coworker's recollections from his youth in Florida, which are told in the form of letters which become increasingly more nostalgic and absurd. It's incredibly complex but if the ending lands then I believe it will go down in history alongside Catch-22 in terms of absurdist/surrealist fiction and social commentary. If you post regularly in /wg/, you might have seen excerpts. I originally thought about tying it into the first one, because they are both set in Florida in the early 2000's, but ultimately decided not to. It is around 68,000 words and I began writing it in January of this year.

The final is my nanowrimo project, which is called Modem Waves. Basically its just nostalgia for my early-20's doomer /pol/tard years, when I was nostalgic for my time serving in the army, mixed with some early 2000's nostalgia I have been experiencing lately. The plot is that an event known as The Dump (a massive infodump containing the personal information of every American citizen, including internet browsing history) triggers a complete breakdown of society. The protagonist spends a few months wandering around with random mobs, smashing technology and foraging for food before he discovers a recruiting poster for the Olympic Scouts, A US-government funded militia which aims to restore order to the Pacific Northwest. There are flashbacks to his basic training and the failed offensive to liberate the capital from the activist groups which are claiming authority in the region, but mostly its about the present, wherein the narrator finds himself the victim of a carjacking at the hands of his old squadmate's younger sister. She hopes to use his vehicle to launch an insurrection to restore the glory of the "uphill 20's," which she believes was a time of unparalleled social cohesion in the face of covid.

Does any of this sound good?

The first book sounds hilarious! Oh man there must be some good jock and nerd characters.

The 2nd book with the switching perspectives, that sounds like a challenge to write, and I do believe I've seen some of it in the /wg/!

The third book sounds crazy, I like the part of the "uphill 20's" the most as I can totally imagine there are some people who have become saints of COVID, or Paladins of sanitizer, like, taken the "struggle" of staying "safe from COVID" to levels of OCD obsession that creates zealots and unites them against the evil plague rats!

I don't share your opinions on covid. In my novel, the protagonist reflects on how the covid trackers had been defunct for a year before The Dump and everything seemed to be getting better. But the girl is fascinated with United States propaganda because her brother died for them, so she watches the "we're in this together" ads from the "old days" and forms an inaccurate mental image.

In fact, on the whole the novel itself is incredibly sympathetic to leftists and socialism in general. The society which emerged from the chaos satisfies 70% of the population by the novel's opening. Kind of like how probably around 70% of Americans would have described themselves as "satisified" in 2014 despite major flaws in our society starting to emerge around that time.

I'm not really aiming to criticize covid or the government's response to covid in my novel, its just to set a timeline without having to pick a specific date. You can write the ideas you're talking about.

Her obsession with covid is just because she's mean to be a "foil" to the standard /pol/tard or leftist revolutionary. Back when I was a regular lurker there (pre-Trump days) there was a lot nostalgia for Nazi Germany. Talking about how cool it would be to live back then and march around in cool uniforms and hassle whiny leftists. And it was all based on government propaganda footage and posters. Leftists have a similar obsession with Roosevelt's New Deal. So that's the joke, she's just some clueless teenager fighting a "revolution" to the turn the clock back to an incredibly shitty period of time because she believes she would have been happier living such a life, despite having no real understanding of it.

The first one doesn't sound like my thing, but the Florida one sounds exactly like my alley. I might wanna steal an idea like that from you. I love Florida, it's right up there with the northern Appalachians for me in places I'd be happy spending the rest of my life in. The third idea also sounds like an idea I had back during my teenage Wehraboo years. I think I'm a lot younger than you, but I can relate. I do want to write political fiction and/or philosophy one day

As for my own projects, I'm writing what I guess I'm calling a schlocky fantasy novel. Maybe it's too YA, but it's a guilty pleasure. I'm 50 pages in (landscape format though), and I sorta have a few more ideas for guilty pleasure pleb fiction I wanna write under the same pseudonym. Shit like fantasy and what if the nazis one Amazon published stuff. It's both for fun and to let myself know I actually can grind out a 50k word manuscript before I worry about the quality and attaching my name and legacy.
What I intend to publish under my real name is a few short stories that a richfag friend said he'd help me get traditionally published before I move into an actual novel. I have a whole document full of ideas for these. The one I'm leaning towards now is about an insomniac contemplating suicide in an argument between his self at 4am and his self at noon.
And /lit/fic is fun, but I think I'll just wait for our next collaborative novel. I don't wanna publish slur-heavy schizo shit under either of my names or bother starting a new one from scratch.

That's pretty much the project I'm working on right now. Just kind of this really romanticized version of my army training days: sneaking cigarettes and weed on guard duty, bullshitting in the chow hall, just hanging out with a crew of dudes and we're all making the most money we've ever made and we're in the best shape of our lives. Except this time I do it in Washington state instead of the goddamned South. It all ends in this pathetic, failed offensive with no air support, and increasing anxiety leading to mass desertions and paranoia and desperate fantasies in the troops. That comes from reading about the Nazi January Offensive and wondering how this absurd delusion was met with anything other than mass surrender.

because this anon >>19453553 is correct. I proved to myself I have the focus to finish something. Now it will be annihilated since I have no need of it. Publishing could be satisfying but it would be a denial of my beliefs. If I am ever published I hope it to be posthumously. I hate the identity of "writer" and do not want to identify with it in this life.

Hello Jason. I'm doing fine on my pursuit. Thank you.

Lately I've been submitting my stories to some niche fiction magazines. I am for now writing in my mother tongue (Brazilian Portuguese), and I realized that most fiction published here is garbage.
I sent wrote some scifi stories, I hate the genre but basedboys do read. But I'm not sure they will publish since the stories are not left-leaning enough.
So I'm working with &amp by now, I don't write as well in English but I hope I'll be appreciated.

Meanwhile I'm working slowly on a novel, it's similar to groundhog day, but there will be deeper existential and religious elements, I plan to discuss ethics of science and how high is the cost for progress. I plan to publish in Amazon for a dime and advertise it here. Initially I would ad it in social media but I deleted it all and never been happier. I don't care that if I publish here people will persecute me as much as you do. I wanna write and I want find friends that might enjoy my writing.

Good luck man, I love your enthusiasm.

Usually has nothing to do with boredom, it has to do with your frequent, genuine, and exhausting efforts being proven futile over and over again. It eventually cause your own life to start to fray, then you start to hate the person, then you basically start rationalizing:
>he's a grown man, let him make his own bed
>if I keep punching a wall, the only effect it will have is ruining my hands.
I have an uncle who is impossible to talk to. We actually have some interests in common and he's an intelligent person, but there is no two-wayness to a conversation with him. He cannot be convinced of anything by anyone in his life; he only trusts esoteric and "inside" sources; and not inside, like an elite figure--inside, like a medium who was imprisoned for child endangerment who wrote a 14000-word blog post about why the government had her arrested.

I'm glad 4chan totally doesn't romanticize the nazi era since Trump was elected. That would be embarrassing.

It's a little hard to explain. It all started when I was shitposting hoaxes online. I wrote in a Brazilian board a bogus claim that in three days, scientists from CERN schedule an experiment that will result In a "time rewind" back to 2008: the world, our bodies, everything will be as it was in 2008. And it's not the first time happens, sadly no one can know it, only a few people realized time is looping between 2008-2021. The only people who can remember this are the ones who are high during the time of the rewind (I fixed an exact GMT time for the rewind so people could try drugs during the rewind time.)
So, I shitposted it and left. When I came back in the afternoon, people were talking about this as if apocalypse was upon us, and people kept believing even when I said it was fake, they wanted to believe, they loved believing it. Hours later I posted the same thing in /x/ and the post was a huge success too. People actually waited for the "rewind time", some were awake late night waiting for it. Most of them said they lived intensely for the last three days and the thought experiment allowed them rethink life in a beautiful way. I confess, I felt the same way.
So I thought, why not m write it as a fiction? So I'm working on it. At first started as a very simple YAish novel, but then I started to read some Kierkegaard and learn about the Buddhist concept of Samsara, so I thought "Anyone can write a fun time loop story. But what I can do that most people can't is to use all the knowledge I have obtained over the years and use this time travel concept in order to expose a personal philosophy that I've developed after some tragic experiences".
Thus, this book is being written slowly because I want to tell more than a story, I want the reader to think.

Damn dude the timeloop is great, I feel like most people can relate to how culture has not changed for at least a few years now. Feels like a time loop every day!

Yeah, the idea is to talk about culture, eternal life (because you can't die in the loop), ethics of science, spirituality, absurdity.
My current inspirations are The Waste Land by Eliot, Cioran and Beauvoir.
My original plan was to be a coming of age story for a guy who is in his late 20s but still acting as if he was young, but it is starting to grow so much more.
