Is this what being a writer is guys?

I have plenty of friends and I make plenty of laughs and I make plenty of girls wet.

But I've been plagued with this crushing feeling and it drives me to write and read and that is it.

Sex doesn't even do it for me. Neither do drugs or alcohol.

Just writing and reading. But that isn't life.

I don't enjoy money or women or men or food or sport or family or life at the most basest of forms.

The only time I feel fulfilled is when I write. I write while in a trance as well and the only time I'm aware of it is when I stop and go back and edit the pages I have written.

This isn't life.

I wanted a wife to love.

I wanted a family.

I wanted a home near a lake so I could go fishing during the days of my retirement.

Both Varenika, who was handing me a cup of tea, and Sophia Ivanovna, who had been gazing at me throughout, turned their heads away, and began to talk of something else with an expression which I afterwards learnt that good-natured people assume when a very young man has told them a manifest string of lies—an expression which says, "Yes, we know he is lying, and why he is doing it, the poor young fellow!"

Hours slipped by and the outside world trudged on with flashing lights and megaphones. Artificially illuminated obelisks of industry tower above the army of scurrying specks below. The piercing light emanating from the sky idols has made the little creatures forget about the wondrous fire that burns beyond. The beckoning cry of the unknown ignored as their ears are pumped full of pleasant lies and soothing coos of sex and half hopes of fortune. Their glazed dull eyes are fixed on the pavement and on the varied color schemes in the shape of universal signs. Stop, Go, Prepare CITI Card. Their minds don't have the ability to engage in thought. Instead they carry out automated schematics of means to get food, sex, currency, shelter, and products to improve their image. Sometimes there is a ping of thought that lingers for mere milliseconds but they cannot grasp it. They can't hold or chase it. It slips bye barely noticed and disappears into the maw. They have gone far too long without it. They have gone far too long with structure and trend. The spark of ingenuity and sheer intelligence was systematically maimed in the classrooms in an age lost and forgotten. Then it was swiftly executed with distraction and monotony.

there is a mass psychology technique called predictive programming. It involves showing a populace an event that is going to happen and how to react to it, so that when the event does happen they passively accept it and behave accordingly.

If I'm pandering to liberals I'm going to make it a liberal heaven. Not over the top with a tranny overlord or any of that bullshit. There is a "working democracy". Mixed race male president.

Sure some of what I say might be heavy handed but most people will read that as good subtle political writing because they are idiots.

But the whole point of the book is to get these idiots to read it and empathize with the protagonist. Then the climax happens and a crushing realization falls upon the protagonist and it is something that is completely backwards from what these idiots say they support in real life. But because they have become attached to my protagonist they will support his decision and empathize and then hate the system that punishes him. The same system that is pretty blatantly based off a core version of what an ideal utopian government would be like for the reader.

Then for everyone else it's heavy handed satire that was made for the sole purpose to change the young minds of those who potentially be cancer to our upcoming generations political party.

I felt the gentle touch on both arms as I was flanked by two slender women garbed in flowing ivory white robes. They were of equal height and their chestnut hair flowed and danced as we walked through polished marbled halls. Their faces were bright and beautiful and their eyes held warmth. They guided me through the halls and showed me great works of art and sculpture. Fountains of spirits and angels sprouting from the water. Portraits of immortals fending off demons. Murals of utopia with orchards and the naked saved. I was entranced by it all. I had never seen a collection so impressive in my life especially one that was all made by human hands. The last work they guided me to was of a large fountain of ebony and gold. An uneasy feeling sank deep inside me as my eyes roved and studied the large golden sculpture of the goatman that sat on a dais in the middle of the fountain. It had its head craned upwards to stare at the ceiling or whatever lay beyond. The arms on the beast were human and one was raised and ended with two fingers pointed with the remaining three bent to clutch the palm. The other arm and hand were the same except they pointed at a downwards angle.

The two beautiful women let go of my arms and jumped into the fountain and began drinking the water.

One turned to me as she was cupping the water in her hands and said with a sweet gentle voice. “This is our favorite work in the cathedral. Isn't it beautiful?”

I didn't respond. A creeping paranoia was seeping in from the back of my skull. Little whispers told me to flee.

The angelic voice called out to me once more. “Come. Come and taste it. It is pure. Come and taste it. Then come and taste us. Drink. It is pure.”

My legs started moving and my heart began to pound and the whisper became a hysterical scream.

I bent to one knee and felt the cold from the marble against my exposed skin. The virgin brought her cupped hands to my face and I sipped. It was cold and it was pure. The virgin then dipped her hands into the fountain once more, cupped them, and dripped water onto the top of my head and face.

They then got out of the fountain and picked me up from my knee and placed their gent hands once again onto my arms and led me from the room.

They both looked up to me and said “You tasted the god's water now it is time to taste his daughters.”

We walked under an archway and into a courtyard where the sandals met crushed white stone rather than smoothed marble. As we crossed it two old crones with hunched backs and boils and walking canes hobbled to us. When they reached us they asked in creaking voices to look into our eyes to see our futures.

With shaking hands plagued by arthritis they attempted to touch the faces of the virgins but they shied away in fear. Then they turned to me with their shaking hands.

With slight annoyance I let them touch my face with their crooked fingers and they both gasped and when they looked into my eyes horror befell them. They began to shriek wildly and hobble away from us. “MOLLACH IS HERE! BETHLEMET IS HERE! BETHLEMET IS WITHIN THE CATHEDRAL OF GOD!”

The once blue bright sky above darkened and rolling black blacks blanketed the heavens. I turned to question the women on each arm but they disintegrated into dust and dissipated with the growing wind.

Within seconds all light was engulfed by darkness.

I began to blindly run in the direction of the cathedral entrance but my legs quickly became numb and the sensation of cooled tar encased my limbs.

A hellish voice called out from everywhere. “Where are you running to?”

I began to pray. I began to ask for forgiveness from god.

The voice called out once again. “There is nowhere to run to.”

I felt hot tears streak down my cheeks as I sputtered out. “Our father who art in heaven-”

Thunderous condescending laughter rained upon me and drowned out the rest of the prayer.

“You pray to him? He's doesn't care about your kind anymore. You are dead to him. Why pray to him?”

I am weeping now as I repeat the prayer.

“You pathetic little worm. I am your god not him. He has wrote you off while I have rewarded your brothers kindly and in time I will reward you too.”

With all the courage I could muster I shouted out into the darkness with fear staining my voice. “YOU ARE NOT MY GOD!”

The thunderous laughter answered.

“Oh I am and you are my son and my soldier. All great men are my sons and my soldiers.”

The world flashed to life and the world spun with a collage of light and voices. Of speeches and assassinations. Of wars and treaties. Of trials and prisons. Of rich men and beautiful women. Of empires birthed and destroyed by revolution and blood.

It began to spin faster and faster. “I am the weaver of history and you are my string. Everything important that has ever happened is because of me. Everything you know is because of me. The world you live in is because of me. I am your god and you are my son and soldier. All great men are my sons and my soldiers and I have chosen you.”

Then there was silence and the world went dark. A lone miniscule white sphere appeared in the tapestry of black. Then the white sphere grew and grew and grew until it was the size of a fist.

A faint breeze grazed the skin of my face and the world around me exploded into fire and mushrooms clouds. Tanks and war wearied soldiers trudging over mountains of irradiated corpses. Flags of Zion flow across the scorched earth. Slaves in gold and silver manacles keep their eyes glued to poorly drawn images of sex and treasure. Lines of young angry men have their tongues and their hands lopped off by their fathers and mothers. Blood bubbles up from the earth and bleeds in all cities. Men clutching books to their hearts are hunted down and strung up on lampposts. Orgies in the streets. Wives castrating their husbands. Fire in the skies. Decay and green paper on the ground. The engulfing chorus of screaming goats and sheep fills my ears and it pours into my skull and fills every nook and cranny.

“You are my soldier you are my son. I will make you rich and comfortable. I will give you women and I will give power. You are my soldier and my son. You are mine.”

My singed eyes begin to slowly open and the blurry image of a hulk of a man with a goat's head standing amongst the piles of dirty laundry in my bedroom appears. Terror grips me and I quickly close my eyes once more. I hear the clack of his hooves against the hardwood of my floor as he turns and opens my door and exits and closes it behind him.

My eyes shoot open. I dare not move. I dare not breathe.

The chilling cries of goats and sheep still ring.

Yeah. There was a prophec in the 19th century. The Virgin Mary appeared to a young girl in Late Salette, France, and told her, among other things, that Rome would lose the faith and become the seat of the Antichrist. Somewhere around 1900, I can't remember the date, Pope Leo XIII collapsed, in a cathedral I believed, and saw a vision of Satan speaking with Christ. Satan said that he was about to overthrow Christ's Church, and that he only had to have a little more time and more power over the people in his control. Christ said that he would give Satan this time and power. This vision caused Pope Leo XIII to formulate the famous Prayer to St. Michael which was prayed after every Mass. After the end of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s the pope at that time, Paul VI, said that the smoke of Satan had entered the Church.
So you entering a cathedral and being told that Baphomet has entered the cathedral of God has has precedence. It is also prophesied in the Bible, the Book of Revelation/Apocalypse, I believe.

Go to Google now and search for "Flaubert three tales", something like that. It's on gutenberg.org, three short stories by Flaubert. I believe it's the first one that presents the same history as you do in this dream, namely of the Devil inspiring great men and being in control of great events. Writers and artists have been influenced by spirits for thousands of years. In the old days they would invoke the muse. Plato talks about how the poets of genius received their genius from spirits.

this is Satan speaking in Flaubert's tale:


I bring birth and I give life. I direct empires and govern the affairs of States and of hearts.

I must be everywhere. The precious metals flow, the diamonds glitter, and men's names resound at my command. I whisper in the ears of women, of poets, and of statesmen, words of love, of glory, of ambition. With Messalina and Nero, at Paris and at Babylon, within the self-same moment do I dwell. Let a new island be discovered, I fly to it ere man can set foot there; though it be but a rock encircled by the sea, I am there in advance of men who will dispute for its possession. I lounge, at the same instant, on a courtesan's couch and on the perfumed beds of emperors. Hatred and envy, pride and wrath, pour from my lips in simultaneous utterance. By night and day I work. While men ate burning Christians, I luxuriate voluptuously in baths perfumed with roses; I race in chariots; yield to deep despair; or boast aloud in pride.

At times I have believed that I embodied the whole world, and all that I have seen took place, in verity, within my being.

Sometimes I weary, lose my reason, and indulge in such mad follies that the most worthless of my minions ridicule me while they pity me.

Hey, demon scholars of /lit/, I also had a weird nightmare about a year ago. I didn't write it down but I remember it well.

In the dream I stand inside a dilapidated building, perhaps a factory or a school, or some other large and public building. I can see through the walls and scan the building's interior. The building is empty save for a room near the basement, which contains a large bird cage. Inside the cage is the devil, but it's only his body that's fettered, and through the house his spirit moves. The dream ends with his spirit coming up through the floorboards behind me and pressing his thumb into my back.

The OP is probably a nice guy, albeit young and filled with grand ideas. His prose is not even that bad; I'm willing to bet he could become a solid writer if he's willing to invest enough time.

Why are you all trying to destroy him for the sake of it? Are you actually jealous of him? are you afraid he might steal your niche?

Also, to the OP. Keep writing, but be aware masterpieces are not simply the result of divine possession : you have to keep writing while constantly editing yourself. Your "trances" must be followed by hours of hating every word you have just written.

Because he came in here calling himself a great writer and posted mediocre prose.
Emphasis on 'came in here:' if he didn't expect this when posting his content to 4chan he deserves ten times the ridicule he's already received.
