Just trying to become a full-time writer. It's going fairly well, made over $120 in August and I'm aiming to make as much or more again in September. So I'm roughly 10% the way there since I consider $1250 a month to be enough to consider myself a full-time writer. I live a simple life and that would be more than enough for me to live off of at this present moment. As I continue to write, to improve, and to get more works under my belt, I'll continue to make more money and will be able to continue to improve my life. Eventually I'll write non-fiction I dare say but certainly lots of fiction. It's too fun not to, and turning out to be too valuable not to. Who is going to say 'no' to getting paid over $100 a month just for doing what you love? Only a fool would do such, and I'm no fool. At least I like to think I'm not, as fun as foolishness can be.

I don't have any recs, but I just wanted to drop in and say I love Her. It's a near-perfect film in pretty much every way.

Reading an actual history book debunks pretty much every word he said.

I guess the ones that agree with him aren't actual, then?

Read a book on making friends, dork

Just imagine if you were a few decades older and didn't even have this place to talk to

Ernst Mayer and David Hull wrote some good stuff on the metaphysics of evolution and teleology in modern biology. Carl Gillet just came out with his massive "Reduction and Emergence in Science and Philosophy" which should interest you

oh, wrong board. Anyway, how about you /lit/ I guess. They're the only boards I use.

I think it'd be interesting to see how the regular reader whose native language isn't English does in this test. Here's the video where I got this from and the difference between readers and non-readers is obviously noticeable.

yes
also use adverbs to describe HOW people have said something
stop using "said" - get creative and fun!
why shouldn't a sentence begin with And? It's a word for pete's sake!

hope this helps best of luck xxoo

I like colorful dialogue tags but arent they kind of amateur too? im writing serious literature here

What? No. Keep things short and to the point. Only use extensive adjectives/adverbs once you have the basics down and know what you're doing.

Thank God it's Pratchett. I was instantly worried that something of value might have been lost.

Whatever makes him happy, I guess. It's obvious from the link that these are intended to be silly rhymes and in-jokes not meant to be taken seriously.

Go read The House on the Borderland
It's basically where H.P. Lovecraft got his ideas from.

This, it's a good underrated gem (despite it being in the sticky list of reccs).

Books of Blood by Clive "buttburgler" Barker

If you're one of the last few good-thinking goyish holdouts on here who thinks those of us riffing wise on the jewish question are bad, look up some of those old quotes by jewish wunderkind chess master Bobby Fischer. Now that boy told the truth! One in six million...

Ummm, he doesn't recommend a brand of Christianity because of Nietzsche, he recommends it despite Nietzsche's criticism.

His understanding of Christianity goes beyond Nietzsche.

You cannot compete with this guy. this man is making dat Dolla Dolla bill dosh and is literally rolling in freshman psychology-student pussy 25/8. Imagine his life. He wakes up and checks his patreon account, sees that a few hundred more has been added to the 60k he's already making a month while he's slept, then he checks his phone and sees the thousands of ovary-soaked messages from prime 18-27 yr old girls who never had a father figure in their life begging to fly across the globe just to suck his cock. This is a man at the PEAK of existence, material and metaphysical.
Meanwhile all you do is shitpost on a Jaguar Sighting and Mating Habits forum and try to posture as some sort of intellectual who understands an irrelevant 19th C. German racist better than he does.
