Was combing through my files and found a short piece I wrote when I was 14. I invite you to share your own craptastic, angsty writing. Let's enjoy the cringe.


Floor No.1

The sound of their fucking, the gurgling reverb of their drinking, the feel of ethanol slowly caving into my throat, as if Satan had exhaled his rotten breath into my esophagus. The ever present smell of synthetic kush and Camel Cigarettes, smoke floating in the empty space of existence, drowning away slowly in a sea of vodka, blood, cum and burnt papers.
I can hear them kissing: softly, tenderly, a subtle sucking sound bounces around the walls, a testament to their non-existent love, that flush of dopamine the young brain is so pragmatic at producing. The hooka smoke went into my lungs, grave mis-inhale. Learning to hold it in my mouth was harder than I thought. My lungs must be fucked up from all the smoke that’s been invading them, my chest feels tight. I never knew why.
And it keeps going. The world swirls rather lethargic on my present catharsis. It sits down and thinks of me, hugs me, kisses and caresses me, and I want to throw it in a trash can. To rip it apart and feed it to a gang of hungry grizzlies. To burn the world down and swim on the ashes, swim and scream in joy when I can hear the whispers of my lost generation, slowly flowing away in an ocean of moral urine and defecated lives. Purpose of a beating heart lost in the mist of youth.

I also want to do this OP. My guesses would be that you should start with Freud, then move to Lacan and Jung, and then maybe some specific Žižek? Anyone more knowledgeable wanna add/change?

That's most of what I've thought out so far, and it'll probably end up being trash because I've never written something long before, but damn does it feel good to actually work on something for a change

WAIFU

CLAIMED

>Rowan Hisayo Buchanan is a Japanese-British-Chinese-American writer. She has a BA from Columbia University, an MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and is currently working on a PhD at the University of East Anglia. She hosts a monthly video series called Inky Dumbbell where she talks about writing and writing craft.

>Hisayo Buchanan’s debut novel is Harmless Like You, set across New York, Berlin and Connecticut. The novel tells the stories of Yuki Oyama, a Japanese girl fighting to make it as an artist, and Yuki's son Jay who, as an adult in the present day, is forced to confront his mother who abandoned him when he was only two years old.

the japanese artist girl is the modern day guy's mom and i haven't even read it.
it's probably somewhat autobiographical and about a bastard she gave away or an abortion.
is she still your waifu now you dumb fuck?

Is there a war in it? I only read books with wars in them.

No its Video Games

i actually agree but if you think writing isn't a part of film youre a dummy. good modern writing is thinking like a film-goer, or in our times a web-browser. Prose-obsessed poet types are doomed and don't even know it, or more often in denial.
>>
>>9466747
nah video games aren't really as proficient for narrative. Unique experiences, sure, but going to/designing a carnival isn't quite the same as it is to read/write a book. linear progression is kind of important.

that doesn't mean they're not art but oyu gotta use your head here.

Thread approved, go ahead.

Essentially within time and space free will can't exist because classical mechanics.
People like Bergson counter argue.

>>9465321
You need something above nature in order to allow free will.

Call that whatever God.

Are there any examples of YA novels that take place in a fantasy or sci fi setting that are remotely realistic?

I mean, they all seem to end with a bunch of 14 year olds defeating an evil dystopian regime and reinventing the USA circa the year the book was published, and having the entire population be completely OK with this.

Is it even possible to set a YA book in a setting like that and not have the protagonist save the entire world? The immaturity of the genre practically demands it.

"Young Adult"

the monstrosity that should never have been.

>>9463826
I mean, the kicker is that these brainwashed teenagers seem to have the entire works of Thomas Paine et al inscribed on the inside of their skull. How do they /know/ to reinstitute a lost form of society?

Did Soviet dystopian books have their 14 year olds reinstituting Marxism? It's just mind-boggling how reactionary and politically fundamentalist these books for teenagers are.

Maybe the earlier works are not as tainted.
