You are now aware that the reason you are not published is because you spend too much time on here, on the internet listening to one another's criticism.
Because this generation is so desperate to have an audience, we have ceased to actually get down to work. If you'd been born a hundred years earlier, half of you would be published already, and be heralded as literary geniuses.

True, but OP is still a FAGGOT.

This is true. And yet I will continue my wasting of time because I feel like it.

>> No.908318

Completely true. I am stuck in a cycle. And I cannot break out. I am going to toss my computer out the window one of these days, and buy an old Selectric.

The only way to write is to avoid the internet.

i havent even wrote anything

>> No.908322

I have learned many things from this place. About humanity, about myself. But I have yet to be able to break myself from it, and write about it. I am an addict of socialization. The prisoner of the technological era.

I'm 56,000 words into my novella and it's showing no sign of slowing down. I'm actually considering going all out for a novel.

It's going to take eons to edit.

If I make it big, the first thing I'm going to do is parade it in front of /lit/.

Well, I guess I shouldn't make fun of you for deriding people over the internet because not everyone recognizes your favorite cartoon.

After all, I fucking love Ghost Hound.

But I have to ask, is it thinly-veiled fanfiction?

Excuse? Literary genius? I'm writing a young adult novel that rips off Doctor who, and blends supernatural shit with westerns.

Fuck you, literary genius.

While it isn't as good to read, you're right. You read good books and write shitty books, because you aren't so stupid as to think that good books sell as well as young adult shit. Right? It's all for money.

Dunno about "literary genius", but I used to write a shitton back in middle school and high school when I didn't have my own computer (family computer in the kitchen, ancient and shitty) and there was nothing else to do in my room.

As soon as I got a laptop for college, I was spending all my solo time dicking around on the internet. That was 2003. Now it's practically a social and professional necessity to spend your time dicking around on the internet.
