How to write a book? I want to express my unique and based thoughts.
>>
>Frogfag
You defaced the cozy pic.
Such an insult!
>>
You start by weaning yourself off the crutch of expressing your emotions and thoughts through the use of toddler frog images

okay.

Asking how is how you end up writing formulaic drivel. Let your schizophrenia guide you through the pages
>>
haha OP I love Froggo XD
>>
>>24862847
So now instead you would try something like “Okay. I’m upset because you hurt my feelings, when you called me out on my dependency on reaction images. I feel a bit silly and sad right now.”
>>
>>24862844
I think they're neat!

Look, I like them too. But you need to rely on writing to express yourself, not images
>>
>>24862840
Write your suicide note instead, faggot.
>>
first of all find something that you really like.
instead of complicating things and preparing for sequels and stuff just write what you really like first.
also if you feel like you "have to" add more chapters, don't.
the ending and the beginning should come naturally, like they just fit together, like it is inevitable the ending should be the way it is. do not care about if it is predictable or an overused twist.
if it is inevitable it will be satisfying.

also characters blah blah blah

oh, and I forgot the most important part. instantly hook the reader, don't wait until chapter 5, just present the premise immidiately.

oh, and I forgot to give actual writing advice.
try the snokeflake structure.

Basically one-sentence premise -> one paragraph summary -> one page summary -> split into parts -> one page about each part -> plit into scenes -> summarize each scene -> write each scene
>>
Write one true sentence and go from there.

Thanks, man.

NIGGA, WHO CARES?! HAIL HITLER!

The moment that you feel, just possibly, you are walking down the street naked, exposing too much of your heart and your mind, and what exists on the inside, showing too much of yourself...That is the moment, you might be starting to get it right.
>>
Good writing is ego death.
>>
Write. Finish things. Go for walks. Read a lot & outside your comfort zone. Stay interested. Daydream. Write.
>>
Writing is the flip side of sex - it's only good when it's over
>>
Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand
>>
For Christ sake write and don’t worry about what the boys will say nor whether it will be a masterpiece nor what. I write one page of masterpiece to ninety one pages of shit. I try to put the shit in the wastebasket.
