>destroys literature in your path
>>25126113How did Word destroy literature?
>>25126133Writers started fattening their books too much because the act of writing no longer had any friction. Plus, mistakes became costless to correct, which conditioned the mind to be lazy during composition.
>>25126138I thought writers start fattening their books cause the industries demanded of them. This certainly happened for fantasy fiction after LotR. Your fiction was not considered a "true fantasy" unless you wrote a trilogy or more.But I think you have some merit in some mistakes were too costly to correct so everybody wrote with the utmost effort. I think I see this phenomenon in writers saying that they wrote nth numer of drafts before they got published, which a writer Dean Wesley Smith said was nonsense, said to create intrigue for the book and the writer's mythos.
>>25126138I just hit publish on the first draft ànd let my legions of adoring fans do the proofreading for me. I will not apologize for being a man of history.
OP is a fag
I always go with the first rendition of anything. I never make corrections. I also write everything with a quill and force my wife to transcribe it all. What is my name?
>>25126439You know what's funny? I've been on 4chan for almost two decades and I've never used this phrase. Subordinating yourself to cliche is a habit that's hard to undo, and nothing revolts me more than a man who is subordinate to cliche.

>>25126146Most publisher contracts were for trilogy or longer series, and authors preferred that because it meant more money upfront. Hence the doorstoppers. Then there are also the cases where publishers divide your one book into two for profit reasons, like Peter Watts' Rifters finale.
>>25126138>Writers started fattening their books too much because the act of writing no longer had any friction.actually true. you can see it with some authors like glen cook who specifically started writing longer novels after going from typewriter to pc.

>>25126138People like Dumas got paid by the word when their work was serialized, so the idea was padding out with as many subplots and convoluted storylines as possible.Every single Count of Monte Cristo adaptation cuts out half the subplots and a third of the characters.
