Try imaging yourself in a festering pool of sardines. You really hate sardines and have no idea how you got into this pool of sardines. In fact, the only memory you have is being stuck in this pool of sardines and the only thought you have is how much you hate being in this pool of sardines. Slowly, you begin to wonder: what about this existence do dislike, exactly? Is it the sheer amount of sardines or the troublesome picture I have in my head of me screaming for help only to have these sardines pour into my mouth and fill me up until I'm basically more sardine than man?

That's what I do, anon.

You write something for practice. If you are confident you can contact an author you admire and ask for a consultation or some gay shit like that.

>Can I just take it f5a literature professor at my school and ask them to look %&at it for me?
No. Don't do that, you parasite.

Find an online community of writers who you respect, and use them. It probably doesn't have to be /lit/. Don't forget to pay it forward.

Princeton university press is a mark of poor quality

>>9292284
>British publishers
*screams*
Our low print runs can give you shitty quality products. I'm a little jealous of America's university presses.

Most of my books are Oxford World's Classics and it makes my shelves look obsessional. The only similar phenomenon is perhaps those Reclam books the Germans have.

Oxford, Cambridege, Norton, most Penguins, Blackwell, Arden, Routledge, for English.

UNAM, Universidad Veracruzana, Cátedra, Alianza, for Spanish.

He was torned apart by existential dread. He had good reason not to sleep at night.

>Nietzsche
He was torned apart by costant headaches and various ailments.

>Joyce
Same as above.

>Stalin, Hitler and Mao
Wether you believe in their cause or not, they had to put their name on lots of actually fucked up political acts. Wether you think you're right or not, having on your coscience thousands if not millions of dead people will do that to your sleep.


Only Proust was a good example, everyone else there had either physiological or ethical reasons for not sleeping at night.
