>Not everyone is eager to learn how to become skillful in sorting the mercantile trash of the world, especially so when they already detest it, and barely want to stay alive.

this is the most pathetic fucking attitude a human being can possibly have, you're literally just wallowing in self pity because you live a life style that makes you miserable and all you do about it is make excuses for why you are too lazy to put in the work to actually make something out of your life. not exactly surprising that such a pathetic loser like yourself is a tripfag desperate for attention and validation on an anonymous image board.

Haters need to deal with it that people actually like the writers here. The blind hate in some of the /wg/ has been completely over-the-top to the point where the pseuds seethe whenever a new book is released. Like buddy, if you hate writers so much, why do they come here?

Learn to embrace the term my friend. If you can produce writing and other forms of art, you will probably have some higher peaks of emotions and other attributes in your personality.

I've been "living as an artist" for over 15 years, and the one thing I had to get over, fast, was the fact that nobody fucking gives a flying fuck if you're an artist. Everything about your art reflects in other areas of your life. That's what attracts people to you, not your work.

In 15 years, I had one girlfriend who wanted to read my shit and look at my porn descriptions I used to write. One! My guitarist friend, he used to play the guitar and was really good at it, but he was never successful because he only played the guitar to sleep with a ton of hot chicks.

You are an artist, and with that, you have to recognize a few things about yourself. It hurts to see people around you not recognize your talents and the effort you put into your work, however, that work you did will lift your life in unknowable ways and THAT is what will make the people around you look up at you in admiration.

Art is magic, embrace the label, don't reject it!

stopping empires from rising is about as viable as stopping the sun from rising. It honestly amazes me how dumb leftists can be

/tv/ is one of the three worst boards on 4chan. While this is book us undoubtedly bad, we certainly don't need a bunch of pedos and foot fetishists to tell us that.
