I mean just let her just cash out with her nonsense and enjoy the easy life?

>>20707384
Make her read Middlemarch(Peak achievement of female writing), she will make the comparisons and I hope be deeply embarrassed by the drivel she has been working on.

>>20707384
Sounds like a bestseller, send it to an agent.

>>20707403
you deeply underestimate how difficult it is to a) get published and b) make money even if you are published

>>20707384
>Not widely read teen author finishes first work.
You don’t deserve a girlfriend. You say where you feel it’s lacking and make suggestions on how to improve. Encourage her ambition and she could write well in time. Even if it never gets to be much at all.

Trump is no different than the rest of them, fyi.

>>20707407
>Encourage her ambition and she could write well in time
wrong. she's female. she will never write well even if she actually tries.
OP is right to discourage such a flagrant waste of time. talent only comes to the few.

>>20707384
if my girlfriend made some shit like that my first instinct would be to get a new girlfriend. that shit speaks to some other bullshit in her psyche and the fact that she thinks it is good makes me think you may be a pedo (even if she is over 18, she is not ready to deal with the realities of life and is therefor unfit to give sexual consent).

>>20707384
Sounds good, thank God scrotes have been kept away from the industry the last 5 years.

>>20707409
Wrong. YWNHAW. You don’t count.

>>20707384
>>It's a waste of time to spend 2-3 hours a day on this, when she could be baking cookies or cleaning the laundry instead.

>>20707407
This. Trump is just as bad as the rest but magatards won't realize that. It's honestly pathetic how people idolize one person just because their ""enemies"" hate him.

>>20707409
this place has done irreversible damage to your mind if you truly believe that, I'm sorry anon but you might be retarded beyond salvation

>>20707419
yup, best not to let them reproduce and teach kids their ways.

>>20707384
I don't disagree with you on the book's awfulness, but it probably has a very high likelihood of being traditionally published. Woke fantasy crap written by mulatto women is pretty much the only thing being published now. Pic related, and no, it's not self published.

>>20707429

This is a repost. OP has changed it a bit. The GF was previously his autistic brother. DO NOT REPLY TO THIS THREAD. Sage and move on.

>>20707435
picrel's good tho, would read the whole thing

>>20707406
whatever YA schlok she's writing is more marketable than anything cooked up here. Just be supportive of her ventures and don't bother reading it if you're going to respect her less for it.

>>20707384
>book is a young adult fantasy about dragons.
Playful, like Pynchon.
>>it has things like the characters first and last names rhyme
Very Joycean, shows a keen apprecation of language.
>medieval people just openly talk about their sexual identities
Even de Sadean levels of risque, very bold move.
>ie the dragon talks like a sassy black woman as if she knows about lesbian sex.
Back to the Pynchonesque elements.
>its just endlessly terrible
Your taste?

Your GF sounds endlessly based, and you should cherish her and nurture her talent.

>>20707384
The real question you should be asking is why are you dating someone like this?

>>20707481
Hey, burgerpunk could be a viable genre someday if anyone took it up

OP is seeking free (You)'s, pic related. Please disregard him and his thread.

>Arthurian tales are already 100% driven by non-stop cuckolding

I thought one of the main arguments of these cretins was that queerness was already rampant throughout history. Why can't they just leave it at that?

are you guys seriously defending books written by women?
its not going to get you laid, you know.

>>20707525
No, I'm defending the plain aesthetic superiority of Virginia Woolf, the best of the modernists.
What gets me laid is my giant dick.

>>20707528
woolf is fucking terrible and her books are a mess. if you would have said plath it would have been one thing, but the fact you think woolf of all people is even a competent writer, LET ALONE superior to proust and joyce, is proof postive that you are HIV positive. good day redditor, you are excused. *tips fedora

>>20707435
Arthurian characters in a sci-fi setting could be good, but why does it have to be so damn gay? They could probably have a decent YA novel if they toned down the wokeness about 5 notches

>>20707384
Delusional retarded gfs make for the best sex though. She sounds so cute.

>>20707509
???

No, like it’s a parody of cyberpunk aesthetics with the disappointment of what’s actually transpired. Themes of technology having hit the ceiling and imminent societal collapse, among others… dark comedy stuff.

I'll give you a hint: the author's sexuality.

to improve ur wife's writing skills maker her listen to Edguy 3 hours/day

>>20707562
Anon, you have to understand that saying Plath is superior to Woolf is analagous to saying that Linkin Park is superior to Bach.

>>20707583
Plath had something to say. Woolf just whined about the glass ceiling and the other usual shit, despite living on free money her entire life.

I think its fine to let your wife live in a cute little delusion as long as it isn't financially damaging you or being projected onto your children. You need to be perfectly clear with her up front that you're not going to spend your finances on this and let her decide if she's going to pursue self-publishing or just keep the writing to a self-assuring and entertaining hobby.
As for the effect of her obvious ideological obsession on your potential future kids, I think you're capable of seeing the danger there.

>>20707590
Not that guy but I can tell you clearly haven't read neither Plath nor Woolf

>>20707503

>>20707735
Books you read more than once as a retarded child with a short attention span.

Post it so we can judge for ourselves

>>20707384
Ignore all the trannies in this thread
Your GF's book is trash and her taste is also trash
Not her fault though, that's just how women are. Their brains stop developing earlier, which some people say means they're smarter and get smarter sooner
What it actually means is their mentality never passes a certain childhood level and they obsess with crap like this and can't grasp higher quality stuff
If you want to keep getting laid with this woman, lie to her and encourage her. Best case scenario she actually gets rich selling her shit to other mentally-stunted women. Worst case scenario she wastes her time like an idiot and you still keep fucking her.
If you don't care about getting sex from her and you want to be with someone who actually has a full adult brain, tell her and dump her and find companionship in other men and take care of your sexual needs by jerking off or using sex toys
If you want to be particularly devious, write a better book than her and make her read it and report back on what she thinks of it

>>20707915
>write a better book than her and make her read it and report back on what she thinks of it
I was with you up until this part.
A woman could never appreciate that the book was better and even if she could, the message would get lost in the dense layers of psychological defense that filters such harsh realities in the female brain.

>>20707925
True but then we could laugh at her "criticism" of it and OP would get an excuse to criticize hers

>>20707428

>>20707384
>how do I break it to her that her writing sucks and she shouldn't keep wasting her time on this hobby?

if writing makes her happy, why should she stop? As a partner, you should encourage her to keep trying and improving instead of keeping her down with something she's deeply passionate about. I mean, at least she's doing something with her life. Meanwhile you're seething at a mongolian toilet-building forum. You sound like an insecure jealous faggot.

>>20707384

Ironic since that book is rubbish, meandering, nothing about it is enduring, it just goes on and on.

That's par for the course. Stay with her so you can mooch off her royalties.

>>20707384
Post an excerpt from her book so we can judge it anon

I am amazed how atheists have turned genes into the new god. Make me laff when they say their dad was a fish too.
Guess which theory is true according to them:
theory 1 : humans descent from humans, which is verified at every human birth
theory 2: humans transition from a fish, then a monkey, yet it was never observed and fishes today dont transition from monkeys and monkeys today dont transition humans, just trust me bro. Btw, humans still transition into trannies, that's completely natural and scientific :^)

face it, atheism-scientism is a religion too, and the whole religion replacement was a power grab by atheist revolutionaries

>>20707412
>>20707412
>>if my girlfriend made some shit like that my first instinct would be to get a new girlfriend
men are so shallow

>>20707384
She needs to turn it into a text based adventure with oversexualized dragon lolis and shotas getting fucked and fucking all the time. Something like Degrees of Lewdity but with dragons in sky kingdom... and get the fuck away from your poorfag sorry ass.

>>20707460
How do you know that animal didn't force his (probably underage) brother to become his girlfriend? I wouldn't be surprised he rapes him every day to make him cry, and he is writing that book as a way to cope with the sexual abuse.

>>20707435
>ripping off ATLA

>>20707384
>GF wrote a book
Good for her, that's great to hear.
>it's terrible
Who cares? Most books are. It's your job to support your significant other, not be a sperg and police their tastes. You don't even need to lie, just tell her it's not your style and you don't like it. Just don't make the mistake of thinking you are obligated to convince her her work is bad.
>it's a waste of time to spend 2-3 hours a day on this
Hobbies are good, anon. Writing is a far better one than most.
>when she could be baking cooking or cleaning the laundry instead
If you wanted a dumb vapid tradwife then break up with her, she's clearly not what you're looking for in a woman.

And if your problem is the unlikelyhood that she'll be traditionally published just try to talk her into self-publishing or whatever. But it does sound like she has a decent chance of being published; trash sells.

>>20707384
Let me show you where your problems begin:

You put your dick in crazy

>>20707486
Best post in this thread.

>>20707409
Why do you hate women so much anon?

Is it because you don't have anything going for you in life so you rely on your gender for your feeling of superiority?

>>20707384
if u like this girl ull stfu. dont pretend like its great just stfu.

Your girlfriend being inclined to write a book at all is very cool and you throwing a fit about it is not. Obviously it’s shit. If you wrote a book, it’d be shit. Differently, but probably equally shit.

>>20707384
>>ie the dragon talks like a sassy black woman
I'd read it.

Hating women is not saying that women are bad at writing.

>>20708292
>I mean, at least she's doing something with her life.
doing something with your life is helping the poor, sick, old, and disabled

>>20707384
Sounds like fun.

My advice is you should passively support your gf in her cute and fun endeavor.

If you do otherwise you are a bad person

>>20707384
>It's a waste of time to spend 2-3 hours a day on this, when she could be baking cookies or cleaning the laundry instead.
Holy shit dude. What's wrong with you. Break up with this bitch ASAP

>>20707384
Isn't this the only type of stuff agents will accept nowadays?

>fantasy

your girlfriend is a tranny. a proclivity for the kind of autism necessary to write fantasy (see: every fantasy author) is a fundamentally masculine trait. the feminine writer is embroiled in mystique, a kind of kantian genius flows through. this is the only heuristic of gender that matters. you are gay

These are stylistic choices you don't agree with because you are a racist dork.

>>20707384
look op, if you tell your gf she sucks at writing. you are going to have a very dry dick for a while.

I made the mistake of reacting neutrally to a past gf's poetry. I will never make that mistake again. They're just looking for validation, not critique.

Honestly you might just try murder at this point.

>>20707435
I really hate how every LGBT stuff has to go to the extreme, you can't have one normal person that happens to be gay, you have to have a girl queer arab interplanetary refugee. If you're a young male homosexual, you basically have the choice between this stuff, the ultra hedonistic gay community, Mishima and Peter Thiel. For all that talk about representation, there's no place for people wishing to just live a normal life.

>>20707384

Might be time to end the relationship, I'd say. Women who buy into system propaganda that much will eventually turn on you for dissenting. Even if it's beliefs that you've always had that are suddenly ruled illegal.

>>20707384
Be proud of her for finishing something. Finishing a whole book takes commitment and working day after day even if it’s ass. Don’t put her down, encourage her to continue writing, and to find a writing group with people who have similar goals or write in similar genres, or to take a creative writing class through a library or community college. With time, she will probably develop an awareness of how terrible her earlier stuff was and feel embarrassed, but she will always remember your positivity and encouragement in the early days. Most great writers did not publish their first book. Joyce had Stephen Hero rejected before he turned it into Portrait.

>>20707384

>>20715788
if you gonna give platform to marginalized minorities you have to give it to all of them. Cause you don't wanna have micro aggression towards them basically.
If you want vanilla homo stuff its hard to find, because most of gay men are very promiscious.

Who is gonna try to target 1% of 1%. You prob better off reading korean webnovels, there's a ton of that crap there. Because young women read those stories
