Someone on here said long ago that once you've discovered your own interest in literature you'll slowly stop browsing these boards, looking online for suggestions. You'll have the things you want to read and write already and if you've been earnest in that self-discovery you won't have to listen to no one else.I've been at this stage for years, I have a list of books I want to read and anything that moves ahead or catches my attention comes from what I'm already reading or author's praise that I've been interested in. I've struggled through university and also finding anything relevant here to even interest me is hard.I read through these 5 books I have with me now, I write inbetween reading and in the morning and I'm slowly starting to distance myself from any short term gratification. I know I'm going to make it but I've submitted to the fact that this will go on for years and years maybe even to the end of my life - there is no community it's just you, till you make it, and become that community.Anyone else have similar feelings or are in a similar place? I'm graduating soon with a literature degree that I don't necessarily regret I'd be unmotivated or too stupid for anything else but I think about the fact that from here I either get a Master's and teach or just work odd jobs for 15 years and then, I know something will come out, that, at the very least I could be proud of
