I sometimes come here, steal what random anon writes and include their words on my book. Anyone else? You will never stop me.

Your book is never gonna be any good if you're just stealing random thoughts from other people

Imagining all the depravities that have skittered around the damp and unlit skull of someone like you is truly humbling. Carry on my man

"The ugly truth is that books are made out of books".
— Cormac McCarthy.

And he should know. Everyone knows he stole Blood Meridian from Chamberlain's Confession, but they don't know just how much he stole. Take for example Glanton's stirring last words. Cormac lifted them verbatim from another part of the book. (The expression actually appears more than once; it's reasonable to suppose it was common currency.) See pic attached.

Not sure about stealing actual sentences but ideas for stories? The internet is full of them. Like this could be the plot for a strange Raymond Carver short story:

I see no problem with this, and I hope your book is great.
Are you going to attribute it to /lit/?

yeah why not i wouldn't just straight out say thanks to my anons on /lit/ doe, but would just say thanks for all the help i got through my book, my friends, my family and that one place on internet which they know themselves or something. but since i am an esl i don't think i would even get recognized by anyone here. Actually i don't even think i will find a trad publisher too so, oh well. No market here for fantasy writers here. If they make big on west, then only they get translated here and make it big. They never care about fantasy writers of locals.

No. Only interesting thoughts, so I won't include yours.
