Lovely.

Imagine trying to kill yourself with a tumble dryer.

Do you mean Irvine Welsh's Porno? It's okay for what it is.

>pretetious patrician core

Don't know what that means, but no we aren't. We just recognize that Dark Tower and ASOIAF are shit. We try to be honest with ourselves, here.

Because Plath is decent. It's more fun to talk about Rand and her cult.

So does Dresden follow the cliche of being "the chosen one"? I haven't read any of the books.

Actually, how much of a cliche are the Dresden books in general?

>>3188558
Both of those people are insufferable.

What he said. Because he's me. I forgot to tripfag.

>>3188460
Oh, I didn't think of that possibility. But this too.

>>3188465
No, I'm just saying IDGAF about psychology.

Many stories that are better suited to other structures are squashed into these two, which ruins these stories' form and introduces many other narrative problems, but the publishing houses and Hollywood don't care because if it fits the three-act structure and the hero's journey it must be decent.

If you thought the movie was good, the book will make you orgasm.

>>3188429
forgot my sage, sorry

>>3188401
It's shit. It and the three-act structure are to blame for all the shit we have to wade through today to find anything decent.

>>3188424
That would be telling.

>>3188407
>thinks I care

>>3188395
Too melodramatic in some places, you need to beware cliches, and you should work on your grammar. It could be good under all of that. Just write more. And then edit more.

>>3188406
It's happening next year, so just you wait for March. I'll have my shit all over this board.

>>3188382
Me too. ;_;

>>3188366
>Thoughts?

I think I'm going to start spamming this board with my shit, too, when I'm published.

Sage because Tao Lin.

GO TO BED, FREUD

Seriously, someone is still using Freud? In 2012? I am shocked.

None of the OP frustrations, but I injured my arm two days ago and ever since I've been typing with one hand. I can't write (professionally) like that, so I've been trawling 4chan and other places to pass the time. I think tomorrow I'll have healed enough to be able to start writing again.

Did I say I expected all that of him? I'm just disappointed he was a coward. It's not that difficult not to be an intellectual and spiritual coward. I grew up in a country that's 90% religious. You don't see me making excuses for it.
