How's the writing career coming, /lit/?
>>24698241Don't remind me. It makes me sad to think about.
>>24698241>There exist but three respectable beings: the priest, the warrior, the poet. To know, to kill, and to create. Other men are serfs or slaves, created for the stable, that is, to exercise what are called professions.
>>24698241I dont know who Im writing for, so I never write, but just structure my own thoughts on paper and in a note pad.
>>24698241as well as my art career
>>24698241I'm working on a novel and swinging back and forth between "I'm really on to something here, this is a great concept and great story with a ton of soul and originality" and "this is shit and almost definitely a waste of time"
>>24698279if you read this paragraph, you will know why I am unpublishable
>>24698286>Yeah it took a whole ream of paper for you to describe rainI like your writing a lot. I think if this outflow of energy is condensed, filtered, and channeled toward a project, I don’t see why you couldn’t be published. Of course this is just one paragraph displaying a bit of your personality and technical skill, so maybe it doesn’t mean much. But I think there’s something here.
I'm going to begin releasing my big story on my Substack. I consulted with a guy who works in the publishing industry about it and he says the first book probably wouldn't be accepted by any publisher because it's too long and too experimental.I think if I do this story right it can be the greatest work of art of the 21st Century. Wish me luck, /lit/.
>>24698241Better now that I got diagnosed with ADHD and have been given adderall.
as a web novelist, quite wellslop kings stay winning
>>24699202You and every other Substacker think they're currently writing the greatest work of art this century.
>>24699202why don't you just make an epub and put it on kindle?
>>24698241Just finished my third novel. Out of all the three this is the one I'm gonna actually bother revising because I might have something here. We'll see. But from what I've seen it's either roll the shitty loaded dice of traditional publishing (read: gooner women looking for more romance-smut stuff) or just bite the bullet, self-publish and hope your marketing will reach enough people.
It's not, but I am.
