I want to be a famous writer. Where should I start?

My name is Rory Edward Donahoe.

How does that sound? Honestly, should I change it?

>> No.3677698

Meditate on your name (or changing it).
If your name isn't unique, you won't be unique

That actually sounds like a high class name.

But I doubt it's really yours. You wouldn't post that here.

Listen here dipshit I am going to give you some advice I was once given on this very board.

You want to be a writer for the social prestige it awards you, not because you actually love writing. As long as you feel this way you will forever be a shitty writer.

My mom picked it.

Like anybody comes to /lit/. Worst case scenario you guys find my tumblr and actually read something I've written.

OP here. I've posted this before, but I've pur it through some more provisions. I thought I would share it again so you guys can prove that I have no writing ability and should kill myself.

It's the prologue to my novel.

It's good! There aren't enough decent Roman Era-set novels around, I'm looking forward to the finished product.

Thanks. The story is contemporary and explores the relationship between a rogue soldier and a young boy who suffers from nightmares that are becoming all too real two thousand years apart. They both have the ability to tap into a Dreamworld created by an ancient device in the Moon, and the boy travels there to save his own sanity, and stop a force that could destroy the Earth. You know, that old trope.
