Why would anyone (on this website) try their hand at writing when they know it will be worthless by any measure and that no amount of practice will improve it to an acceptable level. One should only seriously pursue a discipline if they can contribute to it. Otherwise they are only merely adding to the creation of stupidity.

short stories are unfocused and indicate the author wasn't confident in his premise or was incredibly lazy
>essays
I read what's worth reading, especially from the higher tier authors. I'm not going to read most authors, including the ones people exalt on here, works that aren't their actual body of literature they produced
>doesn't write
I do
>discredits literature
its a pathetic waste of time, I engage because its enjoyable to me on the same level as movies or music. I would never congratulate someone for studying movies or music, even music or film theory.

You people are so narcissistic and pathetic, you can't even fathom how ignorant most of your opinions are. Least of all could you understand that while of course literature is important, worthy or engaging with its just really unimportant to humanity relative to even just philosophy or engineering, two autistic pseud fields.

yeah, but have you ever been to a good Shakespeare adaptation? it´s pretty damn impossible nowadays, all you find it`s fucking postmodern adaptations, last year saw one of Hamlet with a fucking puppet and only one actor, come the fuck one i`d rater read the fucking book that try to separate the fucking postmo garbage.

i think most would agree that if you're just reading stuff based off of other's recommendations instead of dredging through the shit yourself to find what you consider to be good, then you're a pleb

What's the point of dragging the narrative on and on to get when an author can instead be concise and write a short story to get a point across? You saying that short story writers are lazy is an incredibly stupid and ignorant assessment.

I fucking hate poetry so much. The one poem I've ever liked is Blake's Tyger. This is how I know I'll never make it.
