Who told you this? How did you come up with it?

>>6406187
I ain't no snitch

>basically, you're all set! yay!
die

>>6406204
How did you get that from the OP?

>>6406220
1. justification to procrastinate (browse some more 4chan, you can always publish later)
2. justification to be a failure (only my standards matter, society doesn't understand me)
3. justification to be bad (my writing is good, i don't care what you say)
4. justification to be arrogant (if you doubt yourself it doesn't mean you're being realistic, it just means you're secretly good)
5. OK advice

>>6406220
>>6406235
it will help you sleep at night but it won't help you write

Pretty solid advice, especially on the perfectionism thing. I use my high standards to constantly evolve.

>justification to procrastinate (browse some more 4chan, you can always publish later)
It prevents people rushing to buy into the cult(ure) of idolizing youth and making a fool of themselves, or selling themselves short

>justification to be a failure (only my standards matter, society doesn't understand me)
It prevents having a false sense of pride, or writing for an audience whose validation you have come to rely on

>justification to be bad (my writing is good, i don't care what you say)
You can respect some peoples' opinions, but like it or not interesting literature will receive ridicule, and the pressure to follow the party line is real

>justification to be arrogant (if you doubt yourself it doesn't mean you're being realistic, it just means you're secretly good)
Nothing about being good, just that you shouldn't be overwhelmed by a negative self-perception

>OK advice
*blushes*

>>6406167
Fucking saved, good work. Number three is especially universal.

>find threat
>expect advices to improve my writing
>advices about publishing
>implying I can publish any of my shit yet
>implying that marketing and writing are correlated
>implying someone should get marketing advice from 4chan

I'm sorry but your mind does not seem to take in and comprehend simple information. I think you should just focus on quietly improving your writing and discriminatory thinking and feeling and cease with attempting and dispensing criticism.

bump

>>6406235
how dumb are you? how dumb can you possibly be? you literally just interpreted every point in the OP as the opposite of what it was trying to say.

>>6406167
>Don't worry about rushing to publish something by a certain age; most young writers quickly exhaust their talents and are soon forgotten
lol

>>6406167
>1. Don't worry about rushing to publish something by a certain age; most young writers quickly exhaust their talents and are soon forgotten
What great authors have nothing show for by the time they reach adulthood? Srs question

>>6406167
>using semicolons when the second clause is clearly an extension or explaniation of the first
I despise people like you. You don't even bother to pretend you've been to college.

Use a colon or em dash. And try not to be so trite with your advice.

>>6406554
you're probs autistic or something

thats what I think

>>6406561
are you pretending to be me?!!!!

>>6406562
:^)

>>6406511
So.. 5 wasn't an OK advice?

>>6406574
Alright, the. So how dumb are you? how dumb can you possibly be? you literally just interpreted 4/5 points in the OP as the opposite of what they were trying to say.

>>6406524
What's funny about that?

>>6406543
Rephrase that question please?

>>6406167
6. Wash your hands immediately after eating hot wings. Do NOT urinate before you wash.

>>6406554
So give me a college treatment - When is semicolon allowed?

aDvice for writing

1) wirgint is ez
2) fuck u
3) ahaha
4) owned kid

now that's how u do it

>>6406710
It's allowed only in the following case: half of people would consider a colon appropriate to use in whatever place you are considering inserting the semicolon, and half would not. Hence its name.

7. Find your voice. Write by ear.

Bump.

In a world where money matters more than what i can produce i find it hard to not either want to rush the process or give up my time to make money from other means.

im waiting for minimum wage to go up 4 more dollars so i can have an easy mcjob and come home to writing

until then, a stressful career is all that matters to me

Don't publish until you develop your skills enough to do your stories justice.

Advice to people writing:

1. Write for 10 mins, then take a 10 min break to eat your dog out

3. Don't use the bed for sex only the floor the bed is to be reserved for sleeping only

4. Self-loathing and doubt and insecurity are the fatal flaws of a bankrupt lover. be proud and confident with your sexuality at all times

5. fuck people you find disgusting

Advice to people writing

1. Have a young (teen or early 20's) female protagonist who's hot but doesn't think they are. Have two guys fight over said bitch despite they're both totally gay for one another. Have her be a hybrid of some sort so that she feels like she's part of two worlds and not just one. Have said strumpet roll natural fucking 20's with whatever fucking weapon she decides to "try out" all the fucking time every fucking time.

2. Take shit writing to writers groups and when people say it's ok to write about whatever you want (perhaps my little pony and transformers yaoi slash erotica?) but ignore all meaningful advice that your flow and form and shit and you should do some writing exercises.

3.create fan page for work that's nowhere close to being finished.

4. Be tard
5. ??????
6 profit?
