/lit/ - Literature

according to oe, yes

Not at all, it's the most challenging thing you can do.
Or are you calling Raymond Carver a pleb? You wanna fight?

>>6387466
Lolita stands as a good example.
Also, Sense of an Ending.
Also, The Hour I First Believed.

>>6387466
No, you pretty much have to write in the first person these days.

I'll smoke you like he smoked his life away, boy

>>6387580
I-is that sexual thing?

>>6387603
This is /lit/

We sacrificed sexual pleasure long ago

>four pages into writing my first-person narrative novel

I-i'm not gonna make it, /lit/

>>6387618
R-reaching climax while reaching the climax of our respective lectures would be pretty i-interesting...

>>6387651

are you a girl?

>>6387664
d-define girl

>>6387466

Yes. The average person lacks the empathy needed to understand someone from the outside. They'll only get it if they imagine it's happening to them, instead of someone else.

>>6387679

are you feminine? like androgenius

>>6387687
You really think it's easier to write as a character than writing as yourself?

>>6387699
I really like your standards.
you're not gonna hook up through /lit/, though, I'm sorry

I'm talking about from the perspective of the reader

>>6387732
A first person narrator can hide more information than a third person narrator, since it's his internal dialogue he doesn't explain stuff to himself. The reader has to fill the gaps. It sounds as if you just read pleb stuff yourself, I already mentioned Carver but you really should give him a try:

>>6387718
oh, you know me from another thread

>>6387716
Christ, suicide is reserved for short bus, now I'm rethinking it.

it's not pleb but doing it well is very hard

>>6387751
examples?

No.

>>6387833
Notes from the Underground

>>6387466
Not every first-person novel is written by a pleb, but _every_ novel written by a pleb is written in first-person.

I dare you to prove me wrong.

>>6387888
Most YA is in third person, cheap pulp stories are usually t.p. too.

>>6387888
Other way around, buddy. Not every pleb novel is first-person, but every first-person novel is pleb.

>>6387833
Faulkner.

>>6387927
>what is Moby Dick
>what is Pale Fire and Lolita

>>6387466
>Is writing in first-person pleb?

What coffee/caffeine really does?

Caffeine reduces gray matter brain bloodflow by 50%. Caffeine makes you overwork on anything and disrupts resting and protein synthesis. Caffeine causes extreme anxiety, reducing actual work per time. Caffeine is a legal drug that causes mild psychosis and general superficial thought. Caffeine makes you horny and weak. Caffeine makes you undereat forever, as long as you take it. Caffeine was banned in Germany. Caffeine seems to work the opposite way of alcohol, and since alcohol is Christ's blood, coffee must be the Devil's shit.
