>want to know what activated almonds are
>first result in google is almondboardofaustralia.au
>awg warns me it tried to inject a virus when opened

so I guess activated almonds aren't that healthy after all

>>4753830
>implying viruses aren't the universe's way of cleansing the inferiors

>>4753830
>There is almost no research that indicates whether “activation” works or not.

the sad reality is if you want to make money, you write relateable trite and wish for the best

so to imply that artistic merit = money is foolish

>>4753858
no one implied that

>>4753805
I always activate my almonds.

IT'S NOT FINISHED YET, DAMN IT.

What about the homemade coconut?

>>4753805

Is that the smell of envy, pouring from your obvious bait?

>>4754244
That one's unfair. He meant the muffin containing coconut was homemade.

>>4753805
i am ethically opposed to the existence of best-selling novels

>>4754423
No one cares.

Drop trip.

After buying old fashioned typewriter. You all know Wales steals everything as it enjoys being the English Literary center of the known Universe.

It's a shithole that still has slavery.

>that day, OP was a faggot.

Nice.jpg I loled.

Da Vinci Code wasn't garbage FYI. The actual story it told was far larger than the characters and plot and the author understood this and just wrote an easy-to-understand foreground narrative and let the reader's own historical imagination carry the majority of the novel.

People like to trash Dan Brown but he is a decent person and writer who understands his limitations and unlike some modern day authors doesn't try to pretend there's so much 2deep4u symbolism in what he writes. He deserves all the cash he gets.

do u guys not like dfw
is he like the cobain of books

>>4754490
No discernible talent

"Thank you so much for sending me your work. However, having considered it, I’m afraid that I don’t feel it’s right for my list.

I trust you’ll understand that the extremely high volume of submissions I receive means that I’m not able to give more detailed feedback.

I’m very sorry that this isn’t one for me, and I wish you the best of luck with other agents.


All best wishes,

Bryony Woods"

Lots of great shit was rejected over and over

Because I don't know how I should write it; and I'm super lazy.

>>4753805
>If /lit/ is so smart why haven't you written a best selling novel and retired yet?

If you're so clever
then why are you on your own tonight ?

>>4754490
think he's overrated by a small subset of the population but the backlash is disproportionate and he's still very good

hey, yeah, just like cobain

>>4753805
Because popular stuff isn't intelligent?

>>4754894
are you one of those people who thinks simple words cannot convey intricate emotions?

I'm only interesting writing for myself, thanks. Also I like the job I have now just fine.

>>4754914
that is quite powerful, the thing that is truely giving me most writers block is fearing others' opinions
>petty, i know

>>4754566

Was that her real rejection letter?

if you're so smart, why haven't you bought a winning lottery ticket yet?

>>4754632
This was my own letter

>>4754945
Yes

>>4755658
>Bryony

She's a real qt. Too bad all her authors are submitting self-help, YA fiction, or shitty steampunk-fantasy-sci-fi.

>>4755670
>dat qt literacy agency

I propose that we all write erotica fanfiction of them and submit it to them all within the same week.
