Many of you have trouble getting published even though you have faith and confidence in your own work. As a first timer and a literally nobody you will be competing against an infinite amount of similar fellers. It's the same as trying to get laid as an incel. You're fucked.

Theres one way to approach this problem which I want to bring forth. You must be /somebody/ first. It is fairly easy to become a somebody these days. Depending on how much soul you are ready to sacrifice for your self you can become a viral somebody by doing retarded shit for very little effort. You can also go and lie to amplify who you are supposed to be. Works both with chicks and getting a book contract. They need to have a vague idea of who you are and what you are going to do to entertain your presence.

It also helps a lot if you get to know someone in the industry who can pitch you to their local publisher.

Say, you are the fucker who that one time drunk drove into a family of five and now you want to get your fiction of gay whales published. The publishers will eat. out. your. hand. In no time you will have a contract in front of you, with expected sales in the thousands. They will take care of the marketing, you just need to be there and fix up that script.

In a lesser, more realistic, perhaps, scenario, you can be an active hobbyist in some specific field, fucking miniatures I don't care. Some pick-thick-wrist chud who has been in the local papers once before, have been interviewed for who gives a fuck -reason can be percieved as a imaginary talent by some publisher who knows none the better, but is given a script as thick as the cunts head.

Tl;dr a script and a pretty face gets you no-where. You need a lore. Luckily it can be rather cost free.

The writer needs to be more interested in the reader than their own thoughts. I hate this place. If you are going to limit yourself to commas, at least learn how to use them.

Bullshit. The reader can be literally anyone from a granny to a blind pilot. You do NOT have *a* reader. The only reader you must serve by your writing is you. Everyone else will follow if you your self manage to curate and edit a text that makes (you) feel /fresh/.
