Last night I stuck a (large) remote control up my asshole and freaked out because I thought I lost it for a second and I was going to be one of those people who has to explain to the doctor why he stuck something up his ass.

50k word written and it has come to a halt. I want to destroy every single page and start anew. That's just a coping mechanism, but, hey, no one cares.

It exists in my mind as fragments of occultism, esoteric politics, erotic essentialism and post-ironic humor. When it comes together and becomes an actual book, /lit/ will be the first to know.

The novel is a passéist form. I'm devoting my energy to more productive, anti-arborescent narrative media, mostly things I find on the ground.

Got around 30k words into it and decided to scrap it. Around 13k into the new version, which I like a lot more.
I think I'll let my therapist and maybe a few friends read it.

I am writing a Sherlock Holmes parody that takes place in the 1990s. Holmes in this version is immoral and his drug addiction had taken over. A rich jewish executive hires him to not solve a crime, but hide clues and "alter" evidence to blame a crime done by a rich actor on a black.

Finally published the vampire book. I’ll go to the local book store tomorrow to follow up with the manager about when I can do a signing. Now I’m in full promotion mode. These people want me to have a full “online presence” and told me I need to have an Instagram and Twitter and Facebook author page. I don’t want those things. I’d rather be writing new stories. The effort it takes to upkeep those accounts sounds like an incredible waste of time

Outlined the whole thing from beginning to end. Can't find any peace of mind to actually write though. Constantly feeling uncomfortable and mentally stressed even when I'm supposed to be relaxing, because my wife and I fight a lot. So I've got my outline for everything I want to say and just need to write it.

It's a sort of sci-fi novel but I'm dividing the story in the arcs so I can organise myself how the events work better in my head. Once it's finished, I'll work on dividing the chapters into shorter sub-chapters but for now my priority is to have long chapters to be able to separate the events better (for me, at least).

Hello. I'm the anon who was eagerly awaiting the publishing of your vampire novel. I don't know if you remember, but we chatted about it a few times. I'm pleased to hear its out and doing well.

Its coming along, 6 million words total.

The revolution of the 1800s that saw the Kings of Europe overthrown and was mistakenly believed to be the beginning of a bright new future. However there was a key mistaken made in that prediction, most likely encourage by those who were left, the Capitalist Elites.
Kings and Elites were murdered, overthrown, killed and replaced yet the main imputus, ally and tool of those very Kings and Queens remained. The tax collections, the monopolies, bankers, media mogals and financiers of international power where now out of the limelight.
They were remembered as they wished to be remembered, as weak as they wished to be considered, people were as powerful as they wished the people to believe as they were now in full spectrum control.
The 1800s was the true golden age of the monied elites, or lets say it, THE JEWS.

They sank the Titanic with those who were against the International Banks and made it a beautiful story of elites mixing with commoners as a final stab in the back and redirection as tragic accident. They started WW1 and WW2 as a means of changing the world into their image. To destroy the New nation of Germany they Bismark forged, and to finally destroy Hitler who sought to reforge the broken empire. To test the new means of control of Capitalism Vs Communism, ultimately both under their control as they often went to either to see which they liked more. The Holocaust was the seal cap of WW2 so that no Hitler could come again to try and reforge the world from their wishes.

The Cold War created the perfect diversion from their antics. Finally through a number of starter wars in the Crimia It was now to take Iran. The 1960s revolution failed to control Iran through capitalism. So they tcreated a fake Islamic Revolution in Arabia to weaponise Europeans against the Jewish enermy who they wished to rid around Israel. America was still lukewarm to intervention and so Israilies infiltrated the government and American politics through Neo-cons and Neo Liberalism. Using predictive programming and behavioural analysis of the 1970s Jews expertly controlled the American media to ake 9/11 a key memory in American history that would weaponise America against Syria. 11 years in and
