/lit/ - Literature

i dislike the themes of such threads in a way that it sickens me to even make any attempt to post. as I'm writing I always think I'm some kind of salvage whose babble will be unnoticed by other apes and mokeys. A kangaroo is fine too.

By stream of consciousness do you mean automatic writing? Because they're completely different things.

what I just posted is as good as any stream of consciousness writing.

Disagree and you're a faggot who just doesnt get it. 2 deep 4 u.

Fuck this awful shit. Please go to /b/.

Also, if you think Camus is related, that qualifies you to be worthy of my disgust.

>>2254043

What? Camus used stream of consciousness to great effect in The Stranger.

>>2254047
Camus actually did something in his work.
This thread is just about various people rambling then having an orgams over how intellectual their ramblings look to eachother.

>>2254051

I was being sarcastic. I don't think he used stream of consciousness.

>>2254056
I dunno. That bit in The Stranger where he kills the Arab seems a bit like stream of consciousness. Stream of consciousness isn't by definition abstruse, like Ulysses.

=( pic was unrelated, i just wanted to see what was going on in other peoples minds. what i wrote was bullshit because i didn`t stop for a second =/

THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS OF A FICTIONAL CHARACTER IS NOT STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS WRITING.

>>2254073
Please elaborate?
>>2254071
Pic is some of my automatic writing plus a poem I based on it.

>>2254076

i like this. a lot. how old are you?

>>2254076
Stream of consciousness writing is when you write whatever comes into your mind.

Stream of consciousness of a character (when you're hearing their thoughts) is 99.9% of the time deliberately planned an arranged that way. Hence not stream of consciousness writing.

>>2254077
Thank you. I'm 18.

>>2254078
When I write whatever comes into my mind I call it automatic writing/automatism.

>>2254080

Automatic writing is when Mediums say ghosts are moving their hands to write for them.

>>2254083

no

>>2254083
Or the subconscious.

>>2254084

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_writing

>Automatic writing or psychography is writing which the writer states to be produced from a subconscious and/or spiritual source without conscious awareness of the content.

cancerous shit, fuck off

Unless you think like the way Crime and Punishment or The Wreck of the Deutschland was written I'd start learning some real style

>>2254087

the subconscious is not a ghost, neither is the spirit. mediums are retarded, automated writing is usually better than most writing. a retard couldn`t produce automated writing.

>>2254095

being a serb i didn`t even have to read crime and punishment to understand it. i`m not asking for critique, i want people to lose their semiotic inhibitions ;_;

>>2254108
Let me guess, you're about 17 years old?

>>2254027
what is the diference?

>>2254113

why, because dostoyevsky is russian and i have made an erroneous assumption about an authors ethnic background? the mentality is similar.
also
existentialism is a philosophy for people who can`t comprehend anything beyond `deep24u coz i makes meaning out of NON-meaning`. i`ll bet anyone here who avidly googles existentialism and gets off on bbc youtube videos about intellectuals, hasn`t read Being and Nothingness.
i like existential writing but i`m not going to make of it srsbsns like this >>2254043 hipster faggot does

>>2254134

stream of consciousness is often strained and feels contrived and is often unintelligible, automated writing is consistent and can provide insight of worth. it`s like a draft vs final copy

>>2254141

>>2254136
You're the one that sounds like a hipster here. Now go to bed, it's about 6am for you.

>>2254141
What? If I were to be kind I would call that extremely biased. Realistically though, it's absolute bullshit.

Stream of consciousness is designed to capture the thoughts of a character and is often laboured over. Ulysses is a stream of consciousness novel and it took around 20 years to write.

Automatic writing is when you scribble the first nonsense that comes into your head. It's okay to play around with or use an exercise to get you going, but it's rarely, if ever, going to produce anything of insight or worth as this anon claims.

>>2254164
>Ulysses is a stream of consciousness novel and it took around 20 years to write.
Finnegans Wake.

>>2254170
Took about 20 years, that is.
Ulysses is mostly stream of consciousness.
Does Finnegans Wake even meet the criteria for SoC?

>>2254163

it`s 8.05pm, i`m in belgrade, asshole. you are obviously someone i`m friends with on facebook because i recently posted the op picture on my wall. if you are connected to who i think you are connected to, your circle of friends are the most pretentious people i`ve ever met, it`s disgusting how ignorant you are of everything you claim to know. unless you are someone i picked up on /soc/ a year ago when i was trolling, in that case i am wrong and SOZ

Why does every thread even tangentially related to Camus get so butthurt so quickly?

>>2254191

I know right? Pretty fucking absurd if you ask me.

>>2254193

ba dum tst

>>2254193
Pretty buttsurd, amirite?

>>2254198

piss out my assssssssssssss

Tacome Tacoma, don't you run from me, don't sway and salute in the old jelly breeze. O' Tacome, come home, do not let yourself end, Tacoma Tacoma, my friend.

>>2254205

>>2254241

>tonight

>>2254243
Dohohoho

>>2254238
I'm a mutherfuckin monstaaah!

>>2254259

That is a disco stick I would like to take ride on.

>>2254181
Yeah it's more SoC than Ulysses is really. I actually think labeling something stream-of-consciousness is a bit silly because writing is always going to be that, the distinction comes from whose consciousness is streaming. Ulysses is three different people's "thoughts" throughout the day and where their mind wanders but it's not as if it accurately depicts how a person thinks. It's shaped, like any writing, by the author and the reader, and has a traceable pattern to it. Finnegans Wake, by contrast, is supposed to represent the thoughts of somebody dreaming, which is pure consciousness rather than thoughts throughout a day.

What does the pink mountain demand of me? A freedom's ride in night's darkness. Pluck the nipple while you can, forever there lies a pile of fools. Make the life of the end the fruit of the now as your dukkha ceases to the hoof of the trough. In short, maserbombs

I know it;s you. Should I say nothing from this point forward? Be recognizable in your answer.
