Made any progress lately on that novel you've been working on?

no, it's finished

No, not really. I think this year I've spend only one evening actually writing anything.

Last time I wrote, which was like 2 weeks ago, I was on a roll and wrote a lot. Now in the final stages of the story so I'm gonna finish it this year

Yes but I can't write dialogue so it's a ton of in the mind monologues

Yes, I work on it everyday. I try to get 1k words minimum. I've recently discovered that I'm severely addicted to caffeine when, after two days without espresso, I could not physically write because my brain was so foggy. The second I had some I wrote like 2k words.

The hoes call me Balzac because my balls sag

>>23342722
yeah I finished it
I should have gotten the copyright anonymously and just self-published it anonymously if that's possible. Nobody is going to want to touch it and there's a slight possibility that I want a reputation.
I have another idea though, I can get that done this Summer

I always thought it no one likes my novels I'll just wait until I'm old and kill myself in times square with my paper backs in my hand. Maybe someone will read them then.

That's rough.

I don't give so much a fuck because my "novel" was just a memoir with the names switched out and I wrote that bitch from memory in two months. Revising the fucker took a whole year but the skillset that granted is valuable.

I think the general misconception is that life becomes a-sort-of romanticized literary experience. I.e. latency.

So, really, American hegemony alongside irony makes life and literature a suffocating experience

Not a novelist but an essayist and aphorist whose editor is dragging his feet for book 3 and book 4s rough draft has almost 70 pages already of insights and it's becoming a drag.
