Didn't see a battlestation thread, so I figured I'd make one. Pic obviously related.

Disgusting.

Summarize your novel in under 4 lines friend

>> No.3791099

>>3791072
How does one do that? Are you from the US?

Please do tell. I'm honestly interested, and getting a scholarship to finish a novel would really be something fresh.

>> No.3791111

>>3791078
The door frame works as a bookend. The problem with summarizing the novel is that it doesn't have an overarching story. It's a fairly episodic affair, mostly regarding the main character, Ove Tjostheim's, attempts to become a "proper person", with a job, relationships, &c. Several large portions of the novel are also devoted to him imagining how his life might turn out if he, say, talks to a cute girl in a shop, or starts studying theology, or attacks his co-workers.

>>3791099
Sorry, I'm from Norway. There are scholarships for artists here, so that they can focus on their work for a year, but they're (understandably) extremely picky. The scholarship is at, about, 34 500 dollars, which, here in Norway, is shitty, but entirely possible to survive on.

The bust of Lenin belonged to my grandfather, and I'm just keeping it around because of that. The "LGBT flag" is a holder for small plastic bookmarks.

Why would post-it notes be that small? And why would you arrange them that way? Do you think it would make you seem quirky and unique or something?
