they're pretty cool. especially psychedelics

>>9056987
I wouldn't really reccomend psychedelics, is a fake spiritual experience, a very emotional one, but fake.

No such thing as a fake emotional experience

We wrote at least other 3 novels after legacy of a totalitarianism. And they were all progressively more disjointed (if that was even possible) and worse. Let's hope for the best with this one

Part of my autistic story, I've been going through and rewriting long drawn-out parts that were shit and cutting them down, because I've been reading through some of the "action sequences" and they just don't matter. It's not a movie and long drawn-out action sequences just don't work unless they are interesting. I also added a bunch of characters in that scene that don't matter and I don't feel like writing about, so I removed them and went back to basics. Like giving the main character a copilot who died in the battle was just stupid, it distracts him from losing his parents (the previous main characters).

For making this good, I want to be able to evoke an image of what is happening, because it's kind of weird and hard to describe this battle, especially out of context.

Longer term I would like this scene to evoke Peter and Emily's inability to escape the war they'd been fighting for so long, and create a sort of "passing the torch" moment (like with the knife) so as the make it clear that the story is moving into a new era, so to speak.

But what I have right now is complete shit, I feel like the old passage was better even though it was long as fuck. I find this happening; it's like my writing was a badly-made Jenga tower, but once it falls over it's so much work to rebuild it I feel like the messy tower was better.

Will return feedback I get as much as I can. Hopefully thread won't die before I have time. I wish Pastebin links had comments so I could reply even after thread died.

nice dialogue

>>9044004
How much does the battle description suck? I've tried to simplify it a lot to fit my memory, rather than a long drawn out description.

I liked it but its not my favorite Murakami, by far.

>>9061770
i'm tired of murakami (i've read nowergian wood 8/10, after dark 4/10 and colorless tsukuru 5/10)

but someone gifted me this book, should i give murakami a last chance?

Is good good enough? I could spend my times reading the truly great works of mankind. The Iliad, the Aeneid, The Divine Comedy, Infinite Jest, as opposed to a fun japanese kafka-fanfiction. I could reread the Iliad 10 times and it would have been better than reading even a single letter of Murakamis novel. Murakami? More like Moo-Ra-KamNO. Murakami? More like Shin Megayme Tenshit.

If you read this post, you are become literally smarter by 10 years.

If you haven't read Ulysses you should literally not even try to understand how to walk, this is how dumb you are.

Nothing to see here. Move along

Well, I read a modernization. It's very interesting from an anthropological perspective. Gilgamesh being the equivalent to a teenager, the comparisons you can draw between him an jesus, etc, etc.

It's also a very cool story by itself.

Yeah, the story is good and it's a short read, I'd definately go for it.

That's not a poem.

Are there any poems about the feeling you get when you masturbate through your pajamas by not wearing any panties and then grinding on all your anxious nerdy roommate's favorite spots to sit and sleep so that the entire place smells like your pussy but he doesn't know because he's a virgin, and masturbating until it literally hurts in the bathroom next to the kitchen when he comes home and sits in all the places you marked as your territory, which legally means he belongs to you?

I say this without looking at the picture:

an attention whore
