Anon... Nietzsche's ubermensch is a bloodthirsty murderer who does not have regrets about killing those he wants to kill.
anything beyond this is just fluff. It's all about killing other human beings

there is nothing more feminine than reading "theory"

When I say successful, I don’t mean like Harry Potter or LOTR, I’m thinking more in the vein of a smaller book but one that still has enough readers to make a profit. Is this possible? I was also planning on hiring a ghost writer to write the story as I am not very good at writing characters talking, but I am pretty decent with school essays and poetry. I think I have a good idea for a book and I think this is something I would want to do as a career. Where should I start? Any tips/advice?

I would like to remind everyone that depression is a mental illness and mental illnesses can not be cured

Can you really say that the Aristotelian god is "all-good"? How is Evil not a substance in-and-of-itself? If that were the case would god be infinitely cruel as he is good?

How do I know if I understood what I just read without writing an essay on it? Sometimes I feel like I just pass text by without understanding it

Rate my story:

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a kingdom ruled by a wise and just king. The king had a son named Jack, who was brave and clever, but also headstrong and impetuous.

One day, Jack decided to go on a quest to prove himself to his father and the kingdom. He gathered a group of loyal companions and set off into the wilderness, facing many challenges along the way.

As they journeyed, they came across a dragon's lair, filled with treasure and guarded by a fearsome beast. Jack and his companions knew they had to defeat the dragon if they wanted to claim the treasure, so they came up with a clever plan.

Using their wits and skill, they were able to outsmart the dragon and slay it, saving the kingdom from its destructive power. They returned to the kingdom as heroes, and the king was so impressed by Jack's bravery and cunning that he named him his successor and future ruler of the kingdom.

Jack and his companions became legends, known throughout the land for their bravery and cunning. They inspired countless others to go on their own quests and seek adventure, and their story was passed down through the ages, never to be forgotten.

Multiverse theory is jewish pilpul. Literally, I have not seen anyone besides jews or jew-loving anglos seriously argue its validity.

The whole concept of "learning" language arts, reading, and writing in school is nonsensical. Especially when the teacher or professor asks you to personally write an essay so they can grade you based on performance.

How well you performed in your writing of an essay is completely subjective. There are no right or wrong answers.
>Oh no, you used a comma instead of turning something into a completely new sentence!
Yes, because it looked better that way you pedantic retard.

Elijah is coming! Washed in the blood of the Lamb. Come on you winefizzling, ginsizzling, booseguzzling existences! Come on, you dog-gone, bullnecked, beetlebrowed, hogjowled, peanutbrained, weaseleyed fourflushers, false alarms and excess baggage! Come on, you triple extract of infamy! Alexander J Christ Dowie, that’s my name, that’s yanked to glory most half this planet from Frisco beach to Vladivostok. The Deity aint no nickel dime bumshow. I put it to you that He’s on the square and a corking fine business proposition. He’s the grandest thing yet and don’t you forget it. Shout salvation in King Jesus. You’ll need to rise precious early, you sinner there, if you want to diddle the Almighty God. Pflaaaap! Not half. He’s got a coughmixture with a punch in it for you, my friend, in his back pocket. Just you try it on.

Any books that will help me get a job? Any job.

Dust jackets belong in the dust bin

I dont care about "themes" or 'motifs" or "symbolism". I just like it when the story is interesting
