>>5909577
>>/mu/

>>5909581
That poster is right, no-one here knows anything. It's mostly white university/college kids wasting their over-abundant time shit-posting.

>>5909581

>tfw everyone on /lit/ is well-read and has deep intellectual discussions about a book's themes and deep meanings
>tfw you struggle to read more than 50 pages of a Harry Potter book in a day

>>5909587
Haha yeah and everybody knows that WHITE PEOPLE know NOTHING!!!

>>5909581
>>5909587
>lit told us we don't know shit therefore lit doesn't know shit because how could I not know shit?

You two seem to be the delusional ones

>>5909608
Harry Potter is terrible so I don't blame you.

>>5909608
>>tfw everyone on /lit/ is well-read and has deep intellectual discussions about a book's themes and deep meanings
>mfw this is what c/lit/s actually believe

I have every thread on page 1 hidden rn lol

>>5909622
>c/lit/s
Uh our demonym is actually William Haz/lit/ts, tyvm

>>5909608

>being easily impressed by people online

It's quite sobering to talk to the same people you met online in real life and see what a bunch of provincial minds they are in real life.
People here and elsewhere in the comment sections mostly have a thesaurus or wikipedia by their side.

>>5909641
Comment sections? What??

>>5909648

Like the ones on news websites and shit.
You know, the untold geniuses who roam virtual space and are far more informed and knowledgeable than the guy posting the article.

>>5909654
I don't see what that has to do with 4chan

>>5909654
most journalists are fucking retards, it doesn't take much to be more intelligent than a new york times columnist, bro, maybe the "provincial mind" is you

>>5909769

The only difference between 4chan and comment sections is the fact it has dank memes and n-words.

>>5909750

>maybe the provincial mind is you

Oh snap son, le ebin shitpost.

>>5909634
the official demonym is b/lit/zkriegs

>He thinks /lit/ knows what they're talking about

Their Critique threads are the YouTube comments of Critique threads.

>>5909886
>Their
Not they're

:^)

The only thing you have to worry about is taking this board seriously, cheer up anon, merry Christmas

>>5909988
It's actually there

you forgot your work ethic sucks for stopping writing to shitpost despite your lack of talent, op. you'll never make it if you leave pertinent details like that out, not even as a hack.

>>5909572
If you can't write, don't write. At least you have realized that you suck, do something else with your life.

>>5909572
why do you got to drag the rest of us down? I was on a roll of feeling good.

>>5909572
once you've given up nothing else remains but to kill yourself

>>5909587
Educated white people are what made America, the best country ever.

<44444456, OP

Just love yourself and keep on trucking.

stop masturbating so much

You don't have to believe. I barely believe it myself.

>>5911809
oh i believe you, I just don't see why you're worried about your reputation as an anon.

dont write for other peoples' approval

>>5911816

Oh, sorry. I can understand your misinterpretation. When I post normally I post anonymously but when I post my works I post them under my pseudonym for publishing rights fears. Obviously if I was posting anonymously it wouldn't matter.

Maybe you should stop writing shitty poetry instead of bitching about people who hate your shitty poetry.

>>5911382
Why would you say this to OP when he is so obviously a faggot?

Did Dostoyevsky have the internet, wikipedia?

Did you know if you have a question about a world / community (eg lawyers, chicken farmers) you can find a forum online and it'll be answered?

Find a 'how to write' book on a torrent and read it. You have to learn to write, or rather learn what good writing is by reading.

Just have to work on it, that's all.

>>5911819
Yes, exactly. because why would you want like....readers?

No, only write self serving bullshit that you can convince yourself is too genius for anyone else to understand, and you can tell your family that you're a writer to explain why you haven't made money in over 8 years.

>>5912051
This. 4chan is not a place of love, OP. You must find the power within yourself to battle the dark shiiidde. Don't give up!

>>5909641
>People here and elsewhere in the comment sections mostly have a thesaurus or wikipedia by their side.

H-how dare y-you ! My arrogance is the only thesaurus I need !

Actually, it's thair

And solitary people that communicate mostly through text tend to be pretty bad at personal conversation. Speaking without the ability to edit is a skill, not a true test of merit.
