Need help to remember a word: it means,>a conflict within an organizationI heard it on a TV show and thought it was a remarkable word and now I can't remember it.Actually wait, I just remembered it right as I finished typing this, haha. The word is >internecineNevermind then! Leaving this post up for posterity and to, I don't know, teach others a new and interesting word to use in their writing.
Is it wrong to hire an author to write a story?
>>24975217...no. What? Why would that be wrong? That's what writers are for! And if you're referring to ghostwriting, it's a very common, lucrative, and completely acceptable facet of the field.

Feel free to beta read my book. Tell me where you gave up or stopped. I'm hoping someone gets to Chapter 10.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xDmtTCFh1DPUPqj9Qfy8zPHlMLaL-2ul8vD3MdkLvos/edit?usp=sharing

>>24964363>>24965833This year was extremely productive style-wise. I have really been doubling down on the physicality of the prose and making it a lot more dynamic and delicious, so to speak. Met with a lot of great writing friends this year as well irl as opposed to the retards on this board, though some of you are great. I have smaller historical fiction books I am going to try and get published soon, with some local publishers here in Canada, so there's that. My big massive thing people know of here will be published on a website I have been slowly building that will encompass the text in a way that fascilitates the maximalist reading as well as with some psych studies I helped conduct at McGill and Concordia's psych department in order to determine the best possible reading format for long-form texts, among other things. I've fully divorced myself from viewing this as a singular novel that can be read cover to cover, but more of an experiential thing in and of itself, in which the scale, internal consistency of logic, parallels to classical and primordial myth and archetype, hypermodernist structures coupled with the subject matter of "cybernetic lesbians" being an interesting, if not intriguing due to the absurdity, hook for people, especially content creators who will inevitably make YouTube videos saying "This author is making a multi-million word novel about a world of futuristic lesbians" and the act of me creating will be the spectacle. Who is the target audience? Me, myself and I. Regardless, I write every day, 3-5000 words or so. It's my life, and I think it's amusing to see it being talked about it here, despite having not posted any of the drafts all year. Cheers and I hope your writing goes very well, anons.
He didn't say ten negative things for the rest of his life. The pain was faster than life. Is this curbing? Is this dusk? Or some other dream, a neanderthal clambering?
>>24975592be noice
>>24975632>the act of me creating will be the spectacle.i hope you are preparing for your fame by getting really really fit. what is the current state of your abs and glutes?
>>24975681That's another bonus this year, I lost like 30lbs and have been knee deep in art hoe gash on account of my job being surrounded by whoresTake the Dionysian pill, anon, it'll make your writing much better when you are one with your body. Still got a ways to go but with 2026 coming up, it's certainly gonna be good when I hit the gym again
>writing a historical novel>my secret is that I don't actually like or care about history>I just picked the setting purely because it fits the MC's character arc the best and solely do research on events that pertain directly to the story while barely being able to string together a sentence about anything else that happened in that timeMultiple people have told me it holds up factually and I even got an excerpt published, but God I'm such a fucking pseud.
I write because I'm a pathetic fake trans loser that is old and a complete meme

>>24975542I read until the third chapter. Not bad, but honestly not my genre. Feminine court intrigues bore me to death. Sorry.
>>24975839It's a revenge story. There's very little to no court intrigue or court backstabbing etc. everything sets up for her eventual betrayal and conquest against her ex fiancee
>>24975846maybe you should try deleting the first chapt.
>>24975865i've thought of that and tried putting bits and pieces of it throughout the rest of the story. it does work, but another reader said they didn't know "Victoria" at all and needed build up to the inciting incident. So i'm tossing it around and see what the popular consensus may be
>>24975542Got through one paragraph. The past tense of shall is should.
How do I write and publish stories about polarizing current affairs without getting canceled by an angry Xitter mob? Do they even read litfic, or do they only do this to authors of YAshit and the like? The story in question is about the Ukraine war btw, and in case you're wondering it's not pro-Russia. I'm just noided that no matter what I say, people will be angry and ruin any career I might have had.
>>24975912please lobotomize yourself so that you stop worrying about pandering to an audience you don't even want
>>24975921I unironically wish I could do so sometimes.
I feel as though I genuinely enjoy writing more than actually reading for some reason. I struggle to sit through a full novel these days, but I can write full novels no problem.Why is this?
>>24975927stfu stupid faggot
>>24975962lol you like writing more than reading?
>>24975971No, eat shit cunt. Don't reply to me again.
>>24975912Write what you want and what you believe in don't worry about whether people will "cancel" you for wrongthink. There is no such thing as a career in publishing for 99% of writers. There is just no money in it. It is purely a niche industry and getting published will mostly just be a add on income to what you are making from whatever actual job you have. Best case scenario the book gets turned into a movie and you get money from them buying the rights. Only the tippy toppiest authors actually make a living off being an author.
>>24975976you dumb homoprobably brain damage would dissolve your ambition to write and save us from your faggot drivelor maybe even improve whatever you were hoping to achieve
>>24975235...but, you're not writing the story yourself.
>jewgle docs link >litterbox link or pdf>giant block of text without the bare minimum of formatting>Not spell checked>Female mc If your work is any of this, I shan't be reading, simple as.
There is nothing wrong with a Female MC

I'm going to drink and write even though it's terrible writingGonna write a random suikoden style story because why not
acronyms are a pain in the ass. I shouldn't have changed my book's title so the initials would be WTF. "Welcome to [setting name starting with F]" sounds like shit, and now I feel like I need to make the subtitle an abbreviation too
>>24975213Doesn't internecine mean damaging to both sides in a conflict? Like MAD or scorched earth? Infighting or that word for when a whole coop of chickens peck each other to death might be a better match
>>24976113Delusional. Your book is never going to be popular enough or discussed enough to be abbreviated for that to matter.
>>24975994>If your work is any of this, I shan't be reading, simple as.Filter working as intended
