That's it. Writer's block is when even that first idea is not present.

That's not writer's block.

Suck it up and get it done, son.

no it's actually great

A "spook" is that which one does not like. For example, if one were to take a sip of a cool refreshing glass of orange juice on a hot summer day, only to find it bitter and distasteful, one would say;

>This juice is a spook!

Hopefully that clarifies things for you, OP. :)

>>9296202
But what if I like the juice and stranger next to me doesn't ?

If knowing a certain branch of philosophy is a requirement to be someone's significant other, that person probably has some severe issues.

This feels like it's OP's homework and he needs tips

>The grand inquisitor chapter changed my mind about the existence of God
In what ways?

One of my personal favorites. I read it numerous times, so much so I read P&V translation, Garnett's and one by Andrew R. McAndrew, the last translator is more modern and easy to read. Out of the whole book the chapter of Elder Zosima's Life really hit me. I didn't expect that a fictional character could be so real, and from time to time I read that chapter in it's entirety. Here's a passage from that chapter I like;

>For all men in our age are separated into units, each seeks seclusion in his own hole, each withdraws from the others, hides himself, and hides what he has, and ends by pushing himself away from people and pushing people away from himself.

Great book, didnt make me a christcuck tho, the memories of that old monk were my favorite part of the book.

Maybe Bataille's "Literature and evil". See if you can get some info about it, honestly I haven't read it but it could be relevant.

There's a book about serial killers which attempts to de-romanticize them and instead point to their cultural and philosophical significance: Serial Killing: A Philosophical Anthology. Also other random books on serial killers, especiall those written between the 80s and 90s. I'm reading a book on Dahmer now and while the author tries to paint him as a Dionysian figure trapped in an Apollonian world, he still concludes that Dahmer was an unremarkable person and the end-game of the "smart, but lazy" archetype, an under-achiever.

Serial Killing is cool, have been thinking about picking it up for a while if just for the fact that I like Shipley's writing a lot. How is it?

Man consumes himself,
a life of excess and greed,
Thoughts controlled by screens and celebrities
Joy appears to be dead
and Man is classified as a soulless creature

Alas, all hope seems lost
yet a minute, beaming incandescence appears
A light that energizes life itself,
and motivates even the most lost of men
We appear to be undeserving of this light
It’s nature, virgin-like, too pure for our rotten souls

Shall we evolve,
or shall we parish
If not now then when
When shall our fortune be etched

Our will to live or die
a vacillation only fluxed by this light so often within our reach,
still, we neglect it
It often appears
going without notice
With hope, man will no longer be consumed by himself,
But consumed by happiness

>>9296088
like it, not complicated and happy ending

take a rest, stop a while
you were running so fast
along all the avenue, you were,
running like a demon but you're blest

El Quijote de Cervantes.
Las Novelas Ejemplares de Cervantes.
San Manuel Bueno Mártir de Unamuno.
Translations of german novels to Spanish.

You could start by rating my last sonnet
Rodéome de golfas y villanos
Y, con una compaña de tal guisa,
Con una voluptuosa Dionisa
Se establecerán sólo pactos vanos,

Que serán olvidados muy deprisa
En favor de aqueste vivir insano,
Quebrados por el sentenciar tirano
Del vino y de las lánguidas sonrisas.

Si algún incauto fiare sus haberes
En tal recua de putas, de basura,
Verá desesperado sus perderes.

Mas yo, que pertenezco a esta conjura
De sátiros y putas, miserere,
Asistiré borracho a mi tortura.

Those trips don't lie. But the people who post here are only wasting their life.

>when was the last time you got time to do nothing, to be idle and not worry about schedule?

Right now?

This is a really bad place to post this, OP. None of us are busy.

>when was the last time you got time to do nothing, to be idle and not worry about schedule?
I get this every day because I rejected modern society and decided working 20 hours a week and living a very modest lifestyle with time to pursue interests and better myself was worth more to me than working 40 hours a week and having far more material goods. True, I'm not able to support a family and most women don't want to date me because they think I lack ambition, but I think I'm happier this way.
