I'm a published writer, but I only have a dozen or so publishing credits in magazines, and I am not getting anywhere in terms of recognition, so my plan is to play up how much of a minority I am. I want to shill myself as an underrepresented voice to get a brand or to at least make it look like I'm sidelined or suppressed by the establishment, in the hopes it garners sympathy. I think this will be a good business plan and, if I pull it off correctly, it may project me as the next big name in my genre (horror). After all, people are already saying Stephen King is an old white male, and his spot will need to be taken when he dies soon. I can use my mixed heritage (I am only half white but have middle eastern and indigenous ancestry), lived experience with mental illness (GAD, paranoid schizophrenia), and experimentation with homosexuality as an expression for LGBTQIA+ inclusion. Do any anons have experience in the game of publishing, or know which agents are looking for a horror writer with minority clout and has overlapping disabilities or stigma?
Nah dude sorry try asking /lit/
>>24948468This is /lit/Maybe you got multiple boards open, senpai
>>24948460>indigenous ancestry>with mental illness>LGBTQIA+>not on front page of the New YorkerSo you're a bad writer.

>>24948328Predicting the weather this far ahead, huh? Interesting.
A Story with Much Prerequisite ReadingJohn had a bookshelf containing James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and Ulysses, Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, and Martin Heidegger's Being and Time. John was a complex man and the only hope anyone could have to understand him was by reading all these books (and the prerequisite reading for those books).
We advise you, plastic deagon,that you learn advice.You will enjoy it if you learn,You will do well if you can:Know that long term trends are easier to predict than how the weather will be tomorrow.
>>24947711It's just a blogpost I made about my life desu. That's actually the most honest post I've made on 4chan. I didn't embellish a single thing.
>>24947967I know that feel. The weird thing is that in my case I know I was in a far worse state emotionally back then, but at least I was able to feel something occasionally, like, even my negative emotions somehow felt more profound. Nowadays I feel like I'm 70 years old even though I'm not even 30 yet. Nothing is fun, nothing is new, everything is gay, dead, or dying and decaying. I shouldn't feel this way this early, I should be burning at my hottest and brightest. But I've never been more apathetic than I am now.

>>24948318Instead of retard-maxxing you can cope by distracting yourself with surrogate activities (such as reading literature) like everyone does

What are the best Heinlein books?Just added starship troopers to my queue.
love it when fantasy characters come across an ancient ruin but it is not really an ancient ruin but an extremely advanced futuristic mechanism
I fucking hate science fiction and fantasy.

it is tradition for the nobel prize winner in literature to meet the swedish children. yesterday this years nobel prize winner in literature László Krasznahorkai met the swedish children and discussed books.
>>24946038Funny thing, they always have them travel out to the ghettos every single year and every single year they praise them. It's hilarious.
>>24948061Such as? Only two people come to mind who left permanently and were somewhat worth caring about, and they were unwilling emigrants due to the communists.

>>24947523The publisher gave Seuss a list of 200 words he was allowed to use and he ended up writing multiple books using only them. That anon couldn't write something as good as The Cat in the Hat without such limitations.
>>24946201Dr. Seuss books are genuinely lightyears better than most other children’s books, and this is obvious as a father reading hundreds of different children’s books to my kid.

Is this the thread where people will point out issues with her retranslation and then people disingenuously pretend none exist?
>>24947060It was written by a woman, the issues started immediately there. People pretend none exist because browns and women use the internet now and continually pretend that white Western civilization isn't the only human civilization worth having on the planet.

If the black death event hadn't been written down population declines would have been attributed to "a variety of factors including x, y, z, ..." etc etc.Do you socsci big brains do this with everything now instead of postulating an actual theory because it's politically expedient in academia to acknowledge all theories/not fight, because you think the public won't accept an "I don't know yet", or because you don't want them to know that you don't know?
Overreading makes you retarded.
>>24947172Kind of interesting how Schopenhauer came up with the core of his philosophy when he was still relatively young, at some point I had that realization that he wasn't a bitter old man writing that but rather a young 20-something year old
>>24947378You’ll never know how your meme meant to me, bringing me straight into the philosophical support for my currenty worldbuilding. Truly, thanks.
>>24947612Lol
>>24947349Acting like a nigger prolongs genes. Antinatalism doesn't. Coincidence? I think not.
Schopenhauer said that but his standards were different. He still read more than most people.
I have schizophrenia..I'm thinking about drawing my visions and insights. I already write (I'm actually ok at it) but I feel like I'm investing too much time on reading and writing, and it's not allowing my brain to rest. So I will draw.
>>24948393I'm a schizo too and published, but chose photography as my creative outlet.
>>24948442Nice. I would try photography but the equipment is too expensive for me.
>>24948449What do you use for drawing? I suggest getting a drawing tablet and doing that. Digital art is great plus it's better than traditional art imo, because you can always change it and easily share it online for free. Traditional requires paper or canvas.
>>24948455Paper and pencil
If Edmund is so rich why won't he just hire some professionals to kidnap Danglars, Caderousse, Mondego, Villefort and the rest of mischievous niggas to, like, his BDSM dungeons or something and torture them there for the rest of their life?
Because he wants to destroy their dreams and reputation and honor forever.
>>24948437he could do that by penetrating their assholes
i guess because he just spend almost two decades at the chateau d'if wallowing in his own rancor filled power fantasies and he wants to ruin them just like he daydreamed about every day of his life in prison. dantes is clearly traumatized and arguably insane by his captivity, he acts like an instrument of divine providence when he's just a petty broken man who can't simply enjoy freedom and his riches and needs to further dig himself into isolation and opium filled delusions.
>>24948446less poetic that way though, isn't it?
this is a midwit book isnt it...
>>24947642It can be appreciated on many levels.
>>24947642The shadows don't make sense.
>>24947642Because it tries to introduce mathematical concepts in a somewhat accessible way to the common reader who is not otherwise well-versed in mathematics?
>midwit as an insult
>another mid whore catapulted into fame and fortune for existing That's it. This has gone too far, the woman problem HAS to be addressed now. Simping is an epidemic that is destroying society and it's only going to get worse.
