/lit/ - Literature

Publish it on Amazon. It is free, hobo.

I want to be included as a supporting character. Make me really cool and bad ass.

The 8500 is not publishing cost. It is for editing and all of that, some reviews, the ability to sell my book and on and on. I am not asking for money from Lit, Just trying to brainstorm with the shitstorm of 4chan

>>3848765
edit it yourself?

>>3848754
I don't think I'd ever support a Kickstarter for a book that's just fiction. That's what publishers are for. If your book isn't good enough to be picked up by one, go the free Amazon route. Don't cheat people out of their money for a sub-par book.

The only kickstarters I've wanted to contribute to (if I wasn't a poor college student) show earnest need for funding for research or equipment needed. Or in the case of webcomics trying to publish on their own, as there isn't as steady a market of publishers for that sort of thing.

If it's just a novel, go either the traditional route or Amazon.

>so, /lit/ what would you want back from an author for donating 10. 25, etc. What gifts would you like for what level of donation.
Anything short of getting my dick sucked probably isn't going to lure me in, and that depends on your looks and skills.

I believe this sentiment to be common.

>>3848768
HA!
You funny.

>>3849559
>looks
Would you give me your money, /lit/? Do I -look- like a good writer?

>>3849613
You look scrawny and trying way too hard to look 40 and hardboiled with that cigarette.

>kick the shitty nic addiction
>lift

>kick the shitty nic addiction

These detract from my writing and are thus counter-productive.

>>3849624
You would look 'cuter' if you shaved, imo.

>>3849629
Just did a few days ago.
Feels naked, man.

Sex. Drugs. Rock and Roll.

Bullshit, if you were healthier you'd feel more energized and would likely get more done. This isn't 1940. Pretending to be some degenerative self-absorbed piece of shit isn't cool anymore. Become healthy and your work will only benefit. Right now I imagine your work to be a bunch of self-aggrandizing angsty scribblings, "muhh writing, hrrrr"

Explaining why you're wasting your time asking how you look from anons on 4chan right now...

Nice time management, bro, no doubt looking like a writer is required to be a writer

My processes and habits are what they are, and if they're currently effective, why would I go about altering them? I write outside on my back patio in the heat of summer with a bowl of peanuts, a half-shot of a condensed energy drink, and a load of cigarettes. It's far from healthy, but I get roughly 2k+ done every day. There's hardly any personal reason to it. No image I'm trying to make myself into. The energy drink is there to wake me up, the cigarettes stave off hunger, and the peanuts ensure I don't starve.

>I imagine your work to be a bunch of self-aggrandizing angsty scribblings, "muhh writing, hrrrr"
I should hope not. I'm writing a heavily plot driven novel with diverse and varied characters that combines themes and philosophies primarily presented by Lewis Mumford and Joseph Campbell within the subtext. I try my very best to stray away from self-aggrandizing messages by giving characters most similar and relatable to myself either unlikeable personalities or negative outcomes.

Man degenerative shit from 1940? Ouch. I find smoking weed and drinking great for reading and writing, but I only get like a good paragraph or two and the rest are shit. But yeah I actually have a blue at job, not much else is expected from us drunken smoking degenratives but getting drunk and smoking.. Speeds alright to write on but half of its just babbling

>>3849686
Eh, the chapter I just finished up was super draining. Figured I'd dick about a bit.

>>3849714
>Speeds alright to write on but half of its just babbling
See Stephen King's "The Stand"

>>3849710

Sounds fucking boring.

Talk normal, cunt.

>>3849736
I'll just get back to work.

>Create thread
>sage it instead of outright deleting it
yea ok

>>3849710
haha enjoy nevr getting published

>>3848769

>Implying anyone would publish a book from an unknown writer unless it was something like Twilight, 50 shadows of grey or some shitty self-help book.

Even if it were a good book I guess he should be somewhat known or really lucky.

Self publishing?

Always a good idea.

You mean 2*10^3 words a day? Do you think that's a lot? I write that as writing exercise every morning.

>>3851245
Prove it

by the way, I'm Thomas Pynchon

>>3851260
How will I prove it? Post some of the worthless drivel I've written on 4chan? This is a lel of the topmost class!

>asks me to prove a reasonable claim
>makes an outlandish claim which he will surely not prove
