Who here /creativelybankrupt/?
I enjoy writing, it's one of my favorite things to do - my main hobby, I love doing it with friends, by myself, formulating ideas, and using flowery language, but these last few weeks I've just been trash.
No matter how hard I try, I never seem to improve. My prose is garbage, it's just plain and dreadfully boring - my writing lacks substance and personalty, as well. It's like reading a manual or encyclopedia, rather than a story. My vocabulary is limited, no matter how often I try to temper it, and everything I write is direct - as in, I have no clever phrases or beautiful language.
I'm articulate, but awful.
How can I improve, /lit/?

Live your life. The best tool a writer has is a mind that works slightly better than most and it can't do shit if YOU don't do shit.
Alternatively live in poverty and writing willl definitely inspire you out that hole.

>>9586699
I agree with dub dub anon. Go wander around the city at night and talk to homeless people, that always gives me inspiration. If you live in a rural area, go camping. Do something that gives you thoughts, that you don't get from your normal routine.
>>

Understood, and thank you.
As for writing itself, as in the technical aspects like prose, word choice, and other such vehicles, how do I go about improving that? Just read, so I get more acclimated to writing in an entertaining manner? Do I keep a thesaurus ready?
I want to become more articulate, but less dry in writing.

Estate sales, Used bookstores, Amazon

East Village Book Store on St. Marks and 1st Avenue.
Greatest book store in the world as far as I'm concerned.

Amazon, Wordery, Book Depository
I find Amazons marketplace to be the best place.

It's an important and interesting book(s) with history, poetry, wisdom and stories that have been told and re-told in various forms in almost all countries. It is the cornerstone of almost all of ideas held in "the west" and beyond. Pretty much any book written between AD 500 and 1960 assumes knowledge of its contents.

I know this board hates poetry but it's time for you guys to get some semblance of patricianhood beat into you. Join us as we go through the major works - poems, maybe a couple of the famous essays - of TS Eliot. We'll cover all the basics like Meester Prufrock, The Desolate Land, and Some Quartets and some more in between as we/you see fit.
Recommended you have some basic familiarity with poetry up to the early 20th century, including Shakespeare, Dante, basic idea of the Romantics so you know what he's reacting against, basic idea of Classicism and the Metaphysics so you know what he admired, etc. Though this is by no means necessary.

can someone please explain how the special theory of relativity clashes with kant's use of time as a form of human cognition? why wouldn't kant be able to say that the theory is a description like any other, in which our sense of time is implicit?

How does one reconcile the OT with the NT? How do Christians view/use the OT in their theology? I think all of the philosophizing Paul did in Romans went over my head desu.

fuck your thread, how are the two options blue/black or white/gold? it's clearly blue/gold
>>
>>9584892
Well, I haven't read either but I've heard there are a few reconciliations, or at least relations between the two
Like the amount of days Jesus was dead (or out alone fasting) matching the amount of days Jonah was trapped in a whale. These similarities and others serving as callbacks, and utilizing special numbers I guess, that are often repeated through either book.
I mean to read both, but I found myself going through the first pages of genesis very slowly, as the book I was reading had tons of notes on each verse, a lot of info to take in.
