Understandable, but disappointing. The mind, thoug miniscule, is not without its surprises. If man, given the capacity to unlock those mysteries were compelled to, then it would be easily easy to say that breakthroughs could be made. The problem is that stupidity trumps all. People would rather look for easy pleasures rather than what takes time to have.

I myself would write a treatise on the sufferings of modern man, cmmon pitfalls and a need to reform mental healthcare. I'd put into motion an idea that would insinuate that the shooting you see on the news every week and a quarter are no surprise,

that man is plagued without an answer and how we can by our own efforts find a solution. YEs indeed, there are ways of dealing with modern times but it takes peoples own motivations to achieve them.

Secondly I would advocaet for literacy, but stress that college is not necessary to find success. one must make an effort to experience the world on their own and find a job as son as legally eligible. work on funding your dreams and guide yourself towards the light.

To know what was, without doing a thing about it-- quite the predicament indeed. As I see it, there's a rather frugal quandry in our midsts and it separates the meak from the fit. Those of self awareness must suffer while the drones cog on. What we need, I suppose, is a revolution of sorts. How would one go about changing this society?

Tell me /lit/, what would you do given the means to change the world?

You can predict the present if you understand the zeitgeist. But that's easy. To predict the future, however, is a true test of skill.

The greatest philosopher does not predict the present, but the future. - A little quote I made up.

dw?

>>5156389
No it isn't.

8 months writing this. Been writing my whole life.

I must confess I find these responses confusing. The second page is when the story begins to blossom, in my opinion. Every page, and I hold this to be true of any writer, is a story in its own right. It can channel elements of the page before it but it must contain elements that shift gears. I am absolutely sure I have done that here.

It will have a physical release

>>5156330
It makes sense when you read it.

I'll post the second page in a sex.

Think of the best hardasses in the history of literature; Your Doestovskys, your Hemingways, your Pynchons. Would they have given a fuck what some cretins with no lives on an imageboard would have had to say about their writing? You're a fucking joke compared to me. I have a trust fund. I have my own car and I can write a novel without having to worry if putting all of my time into it will impoverish me.

Its not a lie if you read the book and are able to put it into perspective you moron. Do you not understand how 1 page of a novel is only 1 piece of a larger puzzle?

Oh I'm sorry, are you the OP? Its my thread, I made it, I say what it is. Its a debate thread for what appears to be a subversive literary work that IS going to be published and that I will find success from because I've already pulled those strings. I don't need proofreaders or any of that shit. I've already gone through those hoops. Don't think I need you.

>>5156214
Why did you laugh?

>>5156230
countrpoints are fair game. This is a debate thread.

>>5156193
Further than you I am sure.

Then you get yourself a butter knife and fork, put a napkin(or bib in your case) on your lap and you take your time eating that burrito before you complain that you suck at eating it.

Everybody in your same field is competition.

You know the best way to handle opponents? Cut them down.

>>5156164
Actually no. Hobart was going to give me a deal but weren't willing to give me a decent enough cut and two-thousand upfront for living expenses.

>>5156145
I WILL get published, considering I'm SELF PUBLISHING IT.
I WILL win a few literary commendations because I trust in my abilities.
YOU WILL continue to be a jerk on the internet who nobody will remember years from now.

>>5156136
Yeah... no.

>>5156141
Lets just say that the horrors of a traumatic experience reveal themselves in the most miraculous of ways thanks to the storm. ;)

My work is better than their work. I'm not proclaiming I'm a better person.
