>>24863678I liked the pile of unearthed cryo-tubes that are just busted open and leaking.
>>24863822It's a fun universe to read in that the author has been fleshing out significantly more over the past several years thanks to Amazon Kindle.
Shadows Upon Time released a week after Strength of the Few is insane.
>>24862984they get better but the second book is the start of a 3 books story arc, so if you start book 2 you're not going to get a resolution until book 4.and yes Cyteen is miles better, Downbelow Station is great too

Are there any newspaper columnists you like?
>>24863950The dead ones. Journalism is dead, all that's left are propagandists.
I wrote for ten years, didn't get published until five years ago, and then I've only had middling success with five stories, a dozen poems, and essays. I just use it to get a foot in the door with some jobs. Other than that, it's been a massive time sink. I might give up soon because I've painted myself into a corner.
>>24862215>five stories, a dozen poems, and essays.att his point, you have to write a novel. what's holding you back?
>>24863421I have paranoid schizophrenia and find it impossible to write long form prose, probably due to thought disorder or language disorder.
>>24862215>got publishedSo you won. Stop bitching, fag.
>>24863650The point is to respond to the masters that came before you and be remembered for eternity.
>>24863609Guess you will have to stick to short stories then. Have you tried to get a book deal for a collection?
Was Dante right about so-called neutrals?
Alright, then. Who gets to decide where the "moral crisis" starts and ends?
>>24862526Me :)
>In March 1302, Dante, a White Guelph by affiliation, along with the Gherardini family, was condemned to exile for two years and ordered to pay a large fine. Dante was accused of corruption and financial wrongdoing by the Black Guelphs for the time that Dante was serving as city prior (Florence's highest position) for two months in 1300.The poet was still in Rome in 1302, as the Pope, who had backed the Black Guelphs, had "suggested" that Dante stay there. Florence under the Black Guelphs, therefore, considered Dante an absconder.Oh gee, it's a politician telling me to pick a side or go to hell.
>>24862526Dante
>>24857977>An erotic other, Beatrice as divine revelation, must take Dante past the utopia of the Earthly ParadiseI could have swore that either an introduction or footnote in the La Vita Nuova I read there was a comment about Beatrice being fictional. Dante might have made her up because he knew the literary importance of a muse
How do I develop the concepts I think of into full stories? It's like having a cherry but I don't know how to make the cake.What method do you use, btw?
>>24863881short stories first o algo
you have a concept, you give it legs, a body, a setting, a scene, motivation, narrative, etc.
>>24863913That's what I'm thinking about doing, but even then...>>24863920Yeah, I'm basically looking for a way on how to do so.I've watched a video of a game developers/writer (Yoko Taro) which developed his own methodology for creating stories and suggested the listeners to make their own, but I don't know if I can...Anyway, good night.
>>24863881You reminded me to write my screenplay.I want to write something, give me an idea, I'll go on from there.
>>24863932just do it, stop giving excuses, if you have a concept give it a name, start with a character doing something related to whatever you think the concept is, then give him a setting, introduce other characters to reinforce or oppose the concept, then explore the concept through their eyes, other settings, etc, do this until it makes sense to you, etc, test it with other readers see if they understand, etc, i think you know how to do but are just not prepared for the work it takes to fully realize
Books to help me cope with absolutely vile and vicious anti american sentiment? Im seeing it everywhere, their gross protestant and barbaric derived culture with no real sense of ethics and entirely practiced by people so empty minded, dim witted and mindslaved they put the chinese to shame! I know some american wil probably reply "hurr durr cope and seethe" but my general hatred towards the anglosphere is absolute and I feel that if I don't find a way to fix it I will just end up going fucking mad and killing myself. Show me some good american books that aren't ass and are pretty self aware about american nature like some of Melville's works...
>>24862044>i-is that a red cup!? AAIIIIEE SAVE ME MUSSOLINIGrow up

>>24863309You call them a slave race and yet you worship one of them as your Lord and savior and even declaim your ancestors as immoral based on scant evidence and knowing little of why they did or did not do a thing besides. But I’m sure you must be happy as a clam then since this ‘slave race’ is evidently well in hand and all is under your mighty control thanks to our ‘intellectual elites’ who have accounted for every outcome. And besides if we shit the bed and it all goes wrong then it’s the fault of those darn Americans! We dindunuffins! We wuz dey intellectual elites and totally not a descendent of peasant stock.Jesus was a jewish hippie faggot and that’s why he got executed by the way. No refunds.
>>24863596Scots Irish are Anglo-Scots Borderers in actuality and we make up a large and prolific portion of the founding stock of America with famous figures including some of our best generals, presidents and pioneers. Andrew Jackson being one of the best of us.Besides I see nothing wrong with the Irish. They’re good people.

What was his problem? What's wrong with people using the ring as an allegory for the atomic bomb?
>>24862544>What was his problem?He was annoyed that people discovered he got the ring idea from Wagner.
>>24862544>What's wrong with people using the ring as an allegory for the atomic bomb?Maybe the fact that the outline of the story concluding with the destruction of the One Ring was completed in 1939, while the Manhattan Project wasn't created until 1942.
>>24862544HE DOESNT MIND THAT. HE LITERALLY SAID HE PREFERS 'APPLICABILITY' TO 'ALLEGORY'
>>24862544Now that the dust has settled and with modern cultural literacy can we agree bilbo was sexually abusing young orphaned frodo
>>24863945And so the ring represents homosexuality, a cursed relic passed from older pervert to younger

>>24863852He is 100% correct. No coup is possible in America unless you purge the officer corps and the IC, which isn't going to happent. knower
>>24859478>rational arugment/logical coherence of ideology is what drives historyLol.lmao.If this were true Marxism would never have gotten off the ground with its fundamentally retarded ideas about idyllic primitive communism (soul crushing tyrannical absolute rule of the crowd by way of taboo).The dumber your idea is, provided it is sufficiently obfuscated, the better. Land and Yarvin are on the path to glory as advocates of the next retarded thing.
>>24859748>Chinese was always a man in a box?>Always has been.
Interested in seeing how posters on this board score in comparison to /x/, where the overwhelming majority seem to be schizoid sadists or complete autists living in internal fantasy lands:>The CIA uses the PAS for the assessment of characters, its self-assessment online form has 64 outcomes and doesn't sugarcoat anything, if you have bad luck, the test will call you out for being schizophrenic, a recluse, or worse.https://www.pasf.org/pasq/index.htm>To get your type among the 64, take the 'primitive' test first and then type your results into the 'basic' test and take that.The primitive personality type determines your core personality that you developed as a child, while the second test determines whether you outgrew that core personality to adapt well to society, or whether you indulged those core behaviours to become psychologically maladaptive or attain some kind of arrested development. It really does not pull any punches; while an MBTI test will only tell you positive personality traits and leave you to infer the negative, this one is the opposite. Depending on how you score, it will tell you that you're an exceedingly mediocre well-behaved citizen (one of the best endings) or have the profile of a serial killer, autistic shut-in or concentration camp guard.
>>24862298All of these personality tests say you are a maladapted socially autistic freak or psychopath though
>>24863735No, the e's have higher felony rates because they have more initiative
>>24862298It’s a literature board on an anonymous forum with a UI from 2003, what were you expecting?At least the people here can compose themselves enough to sit and read so we’re probably better adjusted than most of the other boards. For example, /k/ is infested/obsessed with trannies, furries, and schizos. It’s like every mentally ill person with a gun has congregated there and is desperate for attention

>>24863086Clinical narcissism comes from having a very sensitive ego. That's what is meant here. Genesis can come from traumatic devaluation in early experience, or, chronic overvaluation; a spoiled child. Or simple neurology.But the idea is, narcs do think highly of themselves, have grandiose visions, are entitled, etc. And they genuinely do feel this way. But, poke that ego, they often flip out and go scorched earth. A person with a healthy self concept, doesnt have a fragile ego like this. And has more realistic self appraisal.

>>24862718>His face is ugly!Kek, you'll never get past Kant at this rate.
Dolores wasn't a heckin groomed abused victim, she was a knowing minx whore slut that knew exactly what she was doing and abused Humbert and exploited him, then left the only man that loved her so she could be a porn star and get pregnant with another mans child
>>24863187>>24863208Why do Americans get so hard filtered by the concept of a knowing, consenting, sexually aggressive child?
>>24863336they have forgotten the consequences of war in their homeland
>>24863336even adults are too retarded to "consent." that's why consent is a meaningless concept.
>>24863336As a resident Burger because we want our women to be retarded, esoterically speaking.
An older man can’t consent to sex with a much younger woman because he is rendered cognitively disabled by his lust,; therefore she is a predator and a rapist

>>24861483I don't see /lit/ do this, the whole "I'm into esoteric philosophy/literature but am also a poptimist that loves Kendrick and Beyonce" is more of a performance by grad students and junior faculty that don't want to be seen as out of touch elitists that only like dead white dudes.
>>24863876>don't want to be seen as out of touch elitists that only like dead white dudes.Do young adults outside of the autists in that one general on /mu/ even listen to impressionist and romanticist composers? Listening to music like that seems more niche than reading philosophy.
>>24863744Because I'm white. Don't worry though anon, it's fine if you say it of course
idkselling out and hitting the margins for general audiences is a pretty smart move
