by being good at writing. this is why writing is hard, most people aren't good at writing.

Well yes and no. In my experience writing a genre tale is more about descriptions to get the tone, build some actions in order to set a structure and character development is almost non existent.

Now, passing from that to a novel, character development is a must, I have to take care of the rhythm in order to avoid burning the message too early and having to discuss a theme in length is closer to a veiled essay.

objects only exist to serve their purpose. now you need to identify which purpose of this book is more important to you. it's information or it's design.

Fuck off Heidegger

What I do is write, word for word, whatever it is I want to highlight in a document (one document/book). Works well.
Other than that, you can take a picture of the pages with the desired text and highlight it with a paint program.

Visit a contemporary art gallery and it might give you a hint.

he was logocentric, so in his model ambiguous poetic worldviews could only exist where reason hasnt made the world prosaic yet through discovery of logos.
he did predict an autonomous modernist play with material with bizzarre new shapes and antilogocentric textures, but he didnt count it among real art anymore because it wouldnt express logos through human intuition.

Hegel thought Art is just the first step of getting to the idea/absolute (Art - represantation of the idea)

after that comes religion where you already imagine the absolute but as something extern i.e. God (religion - imagination)

then comes philosophy where the absolute spirit is in conversation with itsel (philosophy - absolute spirit becomes self-conscious)

In Art itself Hegels makes also this kind of 3-step dialectic with symbolic - classic - romantic Art

Symbolic - Egyptians
Classic - Greeks
Romantic - German romanticism (I think there is a section in his aesthetics where talks extensivly about Goethe and Schiller)

to really get this concept you have to engage in/know Art/poetry of the german golden Age

but Hegel doesnt want to predict the future or something he knows himself that you can't step on your own shoulders so to say

but seeing how art developed after his lifetime I think he might have had a point with his statement

he doesn't say however that art just stops or dies but that it can't fullfill the ontological function it had before because spirit has already ascendet higher steps of self-consciousnes

There should always be a critique thread the catalog. You can post your stories there. I always wondered where else on the internet I could post my writings though so be a new friend instead of a newfag and let me know what you think are the best places for an amateur to post their writings.

That really depends. Do you want exposure or critiques? There's sites that are specifically aimed at making better writers through community, and others that are made with the intent of getting it to viewing audience. There's also sites like Tumblr that aren't even meant for that sort of thing, but would probably be good for it.

Read all but the last book. I had outgrown them by the time it was published, so I didn't bother. It would be nice to know how it ended though...

no, i mostly read goosebumps, paul jennings, and stephen king
