Jake Lantz was a simple God fearing man who simply wanted to be left to enjoy his freedoms and liberties in the peace of his own home, until one day president blackmadinejad came to his door and slapped the bible from his hand whilst performing fellatio on a transnormist african retard

I read a book like that recently.
I was in the library, see, and I picked up a book called "Patriots" by some James Wesley, Rawles motherfucker. He puts that comma in his name himself, by the way.

Anyway, it promised to be a novel about people surviving after the collapse of society and said that it was full of "authentic survival tactics" or whateverthefuck. I decided, huh, mite b cool, and took it home. It went into some crazy fucking new world order bullshit and ended up with TRUE 'MURRICANS liberating the world or someshit. Jesus Christ, I just wanted a novel about motherfuckers struggling to survive after the collapse of society.

I thought everyone here was a "struggling author" or "working on their novel"?

I want to read but the vibe I get off you pretentious wine sippers is that you want to publish a book.

You always posting poetry or "critique me" threads and every now and again I see some poor sob asking how to get published.

Hell there was that TAR fag, that used to "publish" yall faggets works... what happen to the TAR fag?

As an American, I'd just like to let you know that (typically) when this image is posted (and often times by Americans), it's more of a jab at the rural parts of the United States (often colloquially referred to simply as "the South") and is not really making fun of all Americans (though OP obviously is). I still find the whole thing funny as well (and, geographically, I reside in the "South"). I want to believe that the whole thing is really satirical, but I can't get myself to believe that.

>yfw there is a movie trailer too (comments disabled, of course)
I just searched far too long for it, I'm supposed to be working on homework for uni. But it's out there (though it may not be for this particular book), if any kind anon could find it, that would be awesome.

>You have ZERO excuses, if that shit can be published; you can too.
Just a suggestion here, but you should not be using a semicolon there. Semicolons are for the linking of two independent clauses, not dependent + independent. A comma would have been a much better choice.

>You have ZERO excuses, if that shit can be published, you can too.
Now see how much better that flows?

Feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, it's just that I've been trying to incorporate semicolons into my writing more and I've been trying to get a firm grasp on their usage - don't mean to be rude.

anyone else notice that there is a gigantic bias against american culture outside of america? it's like people refuse to believe that there are actual american traditions. it is this bias that is at the heart of why certain people don't take american literature as seriously as other nations' literarture.

Well no, I know that you 'could' use a semicolon there, but there's nothing saying you have to. I'm not saying he couldn't put a semicolon where you put it (I did actually think about it, but decided not to) because I was talking about his misuse of the semicolon, not about where he could have put it. But yes, I do think that way sounds better.

Your way is wrong too. You can't connect two independent clauses with a comma

clause 1: You have ZERO excuses
clause 2: if that shit can be published, you can too

if you want to connect the two clauses you need a comma or a coordinating conjunction

>>	Anonymous Fri Apr 25 00:31:39 2014 No.4814238 >>4814235 I meant to type "if you want to connect the two clauses you need a SEMICOLON or a coordinating conjunction"

Compared to what was coming out of France, Britain and Germany in the 19th century American lit was admittedly sub-par, but I still feel like "worst" is a little harsh considering the occasional American gems shined so bright.
