>What makes you think you're good enough to write a book?
>Works are the quintessence of a mind; they will therefore be incomparably richer in content than his company, and will also essentially replace this – indeed, far exceed and leave it behind. Even the writings of an ordinary mind can be instructive, worth reading and entertaining, precisely because they are his quintessence, the result and fruit of all his thinking and studying – whereas his company cannot suffice for us. Therefore we can read books by people whose company would afford us no pleasure, and this is why elevated spiritual culture eventually brings us to the point where we find entertainment almost only in books, and no longer in other people.t. Schopenhauer
I wrote a book.
>>24948680This Schopenhauer was not so gloomy after all.>>24948716What inspired you to "do your part", anon?How did you approach the project?
>>24948669Im not but I want to try anyway
I've only read three novels in my life and I'm 32.That's why I think I'm qualified to be a writer and a blend of sci-fi/thriller/comedy set in the near future with near flawless but still basically word calculator AIs with zero autonomy, a Palantir-esque company providing mass killing services, widespread societal pessimism, the death of the idea of free will and autonomy amongst plebs, a group of mostly bumbling idiots who call themselves revolutionaries trying to take down Palantir (cliché), the quick to anger worker drone lady making a nice living by working for Palantir who is conflicted about it, and the revolutionaries target her to steal info and then maybe she ends up joining (cliché)... blah blah blah... sprinkles of geopolitics and science niggas going on about AI and free will...I started today and already wrote 3 pages, and they're pretty good. That's why I'm good enough to write a book.
>>24948669I'm the smartest most insightful most specialist person alive and people need to hear what I think!!!
Many retards have done it.Women too.
>>24948669I don't think so. I just do it because I have to, even if it will ultimately be a grand old waste of time for me and for the reader. Who gives a shit.
>>24949179How so? Where does your drive come from?
>>24948669Nothing. I just want to.
I write for myself. I don't need external criticism because it's a hobby for me.
im more of a book ideas guy
>>24948669I don't furiously masturbate to James Joyce's garbage. I have a series of events that I want to express through a book. Simple as that.
>>24949156This.
You can do things even if you're not good enough
>>24949843The publishing industry is probably one of the best examples of this too.
I like the smell of my own arts
>>24949126So kind of you to grace us with your presence, your Majesty.
>>24948669SIR! I got a 5 on the AP language and literature exams. SIR!
>>24948669Typical heathead thing to say.Anyone can write a book. Is it good enough to be read is the decision others can make for themselves.
>>24951201Writing a book is a laborious exercise.To dedicate the effort, one must believe that it is worthwhile. Even if he leaves the final verdict to the reader.
>>24948669Wizard's First Rule being made into Legend of the Seeker forever convinced me that "good enough" doesn't matter.
>>24948669I've been at least half decent at almost everything I've ever tried. Basically, I'm not a retard.
>>24948669anons were talking about a short sentence, and how they couldn't purple/extend it poetically. I proffered my take on it, and everyone liked it. Two said "I'm using that!", that's when I knew I should be writing.
