How do I stop being afraid of being sincere while I'm writing?
>>24108824It's interesting it took him a whole year to accept that he couldn't top Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
I'm going to read him now that I discovered he was a wife-beater.
No one knows why he wears that on his head. How mysterious
He sweat too much.
write under a pseudonym
if you're being sincerely gross and degenerate like DFW, then read Immanuel Kant and Georg Hegel and kysor read The Rules of Attraction, it's all the same garbage
>>24108824Share your writing with others and kill the ego
maybe you're afraid because you don't want to see that what you thought was a well-developed aesthetics is no more than a base sentimentalism, which is what hides behind most irony-pilled writers only when you write from and acknowledge this will you be able to be sincere & Good
Still no answer on the head scarf thing huh?
>>24110828just some hippie stuff
>>24110828nervous sweater, wore the bandana so he wouldn't have to wipe sweat from his eyes
>>24110851That's YOUR impression. Not HIS reason. >>24110871Doubt. Is there an interview where he says that?
>>24111007uh anon, why do you write like this?

>>24111007From the New York Times review of the DT Max biography:>Wallace started wearing the bandanna as the least embarrassing solution he could think of to obscure the intense sweating attacks that overcame him without warning. (In high school, he had taken to carrying around a tennis racket and a towel as a tacit cover story for the sweating.) I just googled 'dfw bandana sweat' to find this. The Power of Research.
>>24111010Good question
>>24108824embrace cringe and sincerity. trying to avoid it obviously didn't work for him
>>24108831I saw you in the other thread, rat!
>>24108824Say what you mean.
there’s nothing to fear except for fear itself, especially for a ‘writer’ devoted to their work imo.
>>24108824Just do it. Just do it!
>>24108824Can you please take a butcher knife and cut off your fingers so we never have to see your shitty schizo posts here again?
