Feels good that I beat 99% of the competition
>>24761771Any finished manuscripts? Anything published? Any excerpts you'd like to share here?
>>24761777I’ve got over 20 publications. I’m not posting them here. I’m already leagues above everyone and they’ll just crab me.
>>24761780Why would you feel you'd be crabbed after 20 publications? You're already published, you've already "made it". Why not take pride in your work by showing it to others here?
>>24761785Because it’s 4chinz
>>24761771Most writers are just people going through a writing phase because they have the free time and need something to use up that free time. Most of that 99% you "beat" are people who found something else in life, got a well paying job, got married, had kids, etc. >>24761780Would be more believable if it were not for the desperate bragging. I am guessing you have had a few short stories published and nothing more.
>>24761788Way more than a few. And in pro rate magazines. I. Am. Better. Than. You. At. Writing.
>>24761792>Way more thanno one here believes you kek, you just gave the game away
>>24761793You think it’s hard to get published? Maybe if you’re an illiterate or ESL such as yourself. I don’t need to prove myself to poltroons.
>>24761792My third novel will come out next year and have had a collection of my early (pre-first novel) short stories published. >pro rate magazinesSo, a genrefag getting paid by the word. I have no issues with genre and enjoy it, but genrefags are another story.
>>24761805Post your novel or you’re LARPing. >genrefagAh, yes, because literary novels and poetry aren’t all Sally Rooney and Ocean Vuong nowadays. You’re probably transgender.
>>24761771How much can I make as a published author?
>>24761811What market do you want to sell to? Are you going for big five or independent presses?
>>24761807You expect me to dox myself when you won't? >Ah, yes, because literary novels and poetry aren’t all Sally Rooney and Ocean Vuong nowadays. You’re probably transgender.No, simply because "pro rate magazines" do not exists in the lit fiction world, that is strickly genre terminology. You are either a genrefag or larping. >>24761811Very little, few writers make anything off the past tense. >>24761812Big five and indie are not markets.
>>24761814>strickly You can’t even spell. You’re not a writer.
>>24761816>you made a typo, that proves I am right!
>>24761817I didn’t even say Indie and Big Five were markets. You have low reading comprehension. There’s no way an agent bought your stuff. You’re either self published or bought into some vanity press.
>>24761823>no way an agent bought your stuffAgents don't buy, they represent. I can see how you did not mean to suggest that, can you not see how that you did suggest it?
>>24761850>how that you did suggest it?lol. Go ahead, fixate on that.
>>24761850>Hello saaaar! I am a published writer saaaar! Please be doing the needful and be doing the saying of my writerly becomings par excellence!
>>247617804chan posts don't count
>>2476186020 publications isn’t hard to pull off if you have perseverance. The problem is that people don’t write to an audience nor realise it’s all up to curation.
>>24761823>>24761816>>24761807>>24761799>>24761780>>24761855Samefagging insecure low-IQ retard or troll, since he is insecure low-IQ retard he will claim he is trolling. Very obviously not a published author. Got to love the refusal to post his own work, but then him himself demanding others to do so.
>>24761868Pointing out the obvious is not much better than retard troll, he fixated on my editing error even after I already acknowledged it fffs.
>>24761868>Blaaaaady how do I do the needful for publishing prick!
>>24761771I've always told anons here. It doesnt matter how shit you think your novel is, simply finish it and it will put you above 99% of writers. I was a little off on the numbers, but the truth still stands.
An even greater number never start than quit. I can sympathize with this actually. I’ve been dabbling for the last year but the hardest part is actually knowing what to write. After all, nobody wants to your read your shitty poetry, nobody cares about your non-fiction unless you’re an academic or celebrity, and only people with MFAs writing about trans gay brown women are getting fiction published. What’s left to write? That’s been my feeling for years anyway.
I wrote a ya romantasy novel after writing a dozen or so short stories. A few people online have said that they really enjoyed it. I doubt I will ever get published, but I'm glad I did it.
>>24761771>Be /lit/>15 years and hundreds of anons>Collectively wrote only one noteworthy bookLol
